"Michael Kauffman started Catskill Crew in October 2023. His first subscriber was his mom. He “pretty quickly” gained 200, then 300 subscribers — just engaging on Reddit and Instagram, sharing the link with people he found looking for things to do in the Catskills.

Today — just over a year on — the audience is around 12,000."
