The amount of customers you have doesn’t matter. Shares… matter a little bit. But for the sake of this, they don’t matter. There’s only one metric that actually matters. Comments. Since I first started uploading videos to YouTube in 2009, comments have been the only thing that mattered. Yes, it was...
