10 American States That Watched Me the Least in 2020

On Lost in the Pond, it's become a tradition each year to count down the ten US states that watched the channel most during the year. That live stream will be coming New Years Day. But for fun and frolics, I also wanted to count down those that watched me the least. And that's what this live stream is all about.
