My video has 100,000 views - Are'nt people sadistic?

[Matthew_T]

The video in question it the one where a car and a cyclist collide and I go over to offer assistance. It is controversial on exactly who was at fault but the general agreement is both parties. The video is not major and nor the worst I have uploaded, but might the title of it have something to do with the popularity?

The statistics show a relatively slow amount of views and recently the weekly amount has just shot up. Getting 10,000 views each week.

The video in second place is the one where I had a man approach me after he cut the corner and I mentioned it to him. It now has 40,000 videos with a constant amount of about 2,000/3,000 per week.

I dont want to make it sound like I am encouraging these views or that I am liking the attention as I would much prefer a video like the movie that I made to be this popular. I dont go out to get videos to upload and the video which is most popular couldnt have been caused by me (unless the driver saw me across the junction and decided to concentrate on me instead of the traffic lights).

what about the video where you chase down a wvm only for him to stop, get out of the van and make you apologise to him? How many views has that one got?

I honestly dont know. I have had someone else on here comment about a video with a WVM but for the life of me, I dont know which one it is.

Yeh dig it out I need a good laugh

 

[Hip Priest]

I've had a little browse of Matt's vids but I can't find it. It might've been removed, or maybe it was another rider.

 

[Cheshire Celt]

I am sure it can be found

All that could have been avoided if you had just let him out of the junction at the start of the video.A little bit of road courtesy goes a long way.
