Continental Drift Mappings

Continental Drift Mapping is a German Mapping Channel owned by redditor UsrDeletedFromPlanet (or Usr for short) who likes to make Future of Europe Mapping Videos.
His videos are produced in German.
== Mapping History ==
Usr began mapping in late 2014, with his first video beeing of his "Zukunft von Europa (ZvE)" series which he uploaded on October 16th, 2014 to his old channel (DoMe; inactive since July 2020).
Originally beginning as a small side project, the series quickly expanded to the point where Usr made a new channel just for his mapping videos... his 4th video, "Zukunft von Europa #4" was the first created for the new channel, while the preceding 3 parts were uploaded beforehand.
=== DoMe20000 Maps ===
Usr (under his old username: DoMe) created his Mapping Channel on November 21st, 2014.
Originally named "DoMe20000 Maps" he mannaged to geather 40 Subscribers over the following years; with his most popular video beeing Part 2 of the original ZvE series with 3'617 views (as of February 2023).
=== Transition & Collab Project ===
On May 14th, 2017 (after the release of the first part of his 2nd season of ZvE) Usr annouced in an update video that he had hired 2 other, new mappers (which responded to a "recrutement" video, uploaded 9 Months earlier) to create videos for the channel, which Usr renamed to "Continental Drift Mappings" to seperate the new, coming content from his old one.
=== "3 Mappers" Period & failure of the collab ===
The Collab Project didn't last very long, in fact no other mapper besides Usr uploaded anything to the channel, ever... although one video for the new collab was actually, partly produced but never uploaded.
The last active collabrotory efforts were made on May 18th, 2017 while the project still existed in theory nothing new was created after that day.
Finally Usr privatly canceled the collab in early 2018, marking it as a failure.
=== Continental Drift Mappings (Pre-Covid period) ===
Although marked as a failure, Usr still keept the new channel name and tried to speed up his video production by making shorter mapping videos as well as some one-off projects ("Zukunft von Deutschland" and a remastered version of season 1 of ZvE).
He continued to make videos up until August 9th, 2020 when he uploaded his 23rd mapping video "Zukunft von Europa: New World #6" after which he went inactive.
=== Inactive period ===
The last activaty from Usr on the channel was on August 13th, 2020, ironically, a response to a comment which praised him for his persistence.
He came back to the channel shortly on May 7th, 2021, when he updated everyone in a post that he plans to come back and to make new mapping videos again, but still... the channel remained inactive for over another year.
=== Comeback ===
Usr finally returned in late 2022 when he spontainously uploaded "Zukunft von Europa: New World #7" on October 30th, 2022 to the suprise of his remaining subscribers.
His plans for the future are to make the channel semi-active again with 2-3 planned uploads per year at least.
Due to current personal issues (beginning in December 2022) however he has paused those plans for the time.
