I've made political videos that have 500k total views. And that's mostly from one video that currently has over 300,000 views and features George Bush.
I've made other videos on other channels but total views on those channels are maybe 50k. I once made a video encouraging people to rescue and adopt greyhounds that has 20k views. Don't know why but last night I had the urge to look up that video for the first time in a couple of years and read a comment written a few days ago about how it was "the" video that motivated them to rescue greyhounds.
Made my night.
