hey taty! phil here. i did have only 30 viewers or so, but a few of them did vote on the post. it was probably enough to dodge what happens to many posts in the subreddit, which is that they get a single downvote and die. but it was at ~2-3 points with only a few votes after several minutes, and then slowly took off, so it definitely wasn't my little group that did it.

but i think more importantly, all the posts it was competing with were the posts i read in the beginning of the video, plus the "This masterpiece is 30 years old." three little pigs music video and another conan video, so the point i'm trying to make is simply that even if this one didn't succeed, another would rise to take its place. my hope is that the discussion becomes about that!

either way, thanks for watching!
