Kinda OT: Surprised my YouTube shop vid hit 40k views ??!?!!!?!

So I threw up this vid for a customer that wanted to see a quick view of the shop. Most of the time my vids are set to private, but threw this one up as public. It's poorly filmed, poor sound and I had no set dialog. Just a walk through.................o' course my kids think that I should start posting vids all the time...............but who has time?

I guess you are an influencer now. All you have to do is figure out how to make money from all those visits.

That video popped up as recommended, and I like machine shop tours so I watched it. Hmm, seemed somehow familiar... Then you got to the Brother and I realized who you were.

Very nice shop by the way, that is a lot to keep running for one guy. If you have time to post more I for one would be interested.

Doesn't surprise me, people love shop tours. YouTube probably started recommending it in users feeds. Your video doesn't do your shop justice. Mind you I'm not complaining but you have a seriously nice setup there.

Very impressive; your shop has some serious order and cleanliness. No hype, either...and your shop doesn't need any! My honest first impression was "that is a high standards shop".

Ok, be honest, you just posted this to get more views for your video, yes? ;-)

Regarding the stock left outside, I notice you're in Pillager, MN - coincidence?

I really like your guard dog and bouncing bandsaw blade videos, just the right length for my attention span. Recommend them to everyone here, worth the few seconds for sure!

edit - you read my thoughts and posted it while I was writing!
