Maybe mine was scarier?

I put up posts that very often get one response and drop off the front page.
There is no telling who is watching and what they're interested in.

(17,984 posts)9. I just think it's a weird coincidence that you and I posted about wingsuits

(27,736 posts)13. You posted your video on a Friday afternoon, got 88 views.
This was posted 9:32 Friday evening and got 270 views and 13 responses (2 are yours and 1 mine). Larger audience and perhaps different interests of the viewing audience at the times they were posted. But it often happens that similar posts get entirely different receptions.
