Same here! Give it Everything got 39 upvotes in total. Also, funnily enough one of my stories was presented as a "true story" (Give it Everything which is about a killer dog) and it had 30,000 views. Everyone bitched the narrator out for his titling but I didn't really have any sympathy. His other videos had like 300 views at most so lying clearly worked. Even if it just attracted people who felt the need to comment saying "Well this is clearly fake" they still generated an enormous amount of traffic and revenue. It's like if you give someone an avenue to feel a little big smug they'll take it and complain about all the people clicking the link without ever realising that it's just people like them, clicking and commenting about how anyone who falls for it is a moron.

This is why I want to start a series called "True Stories" where I claim the latest ghostbusters film is a documentary. I figure everyone'll be so keen to tell me I'm a moron the ad revenue alone would make me a millionaire.
