To be as gentle to myself as possible (OK, one step short of that gentle) presently Anxociety boasts only a modest viewership. To put some figures on it while keeping it optimistic, the sum total of views suggest that I have a rather considerable room to grow: about Infinity minus 290. Now, I suppose that half those views might’ve come from accidental clicks.

And as for the other half?

Well, I probably have to thank people whom I know personally. (Thanks, Grandma! I’ll drop by later on today.)

Now, as embarrassing a feeling running a channel like this one is for me, I can only imagine how awkward watching these videos might be for you. See, this this magnitude of popularity makes for some sort of a “social standoff”: meaning that I would have a pretty good idea from whom a particular view might be coming from.

Say, if it's 3 in the afternoon. In that case I would know that it was you Janet, because I am perfectly aware that around that time, Steve likes to take a nap at a hideaway location of the office, so it likely wasn’t him.

And as for you, Joshua. Oh, please, stop wasting your time it’s 2 in the morning already! Just go to bed for crying out loud!

OK, but let’s not be fixated too much on Quantity. What about Quality?

If Grandma isn’t gonna be fast enough this time around to like the video, then I better brace myself for an onslaught of criticism. I can always get inspiration from the adage:

“Hater’s gonna hate.”

But hey, don’t get too excited just now, nothing happened. There was no new rating of any sort, and besides, I just realized that the incoming new view was me all along checking for updates.
