I’m not sure if I should feel happy or sad about this

I’ve had a YouTube profile for about five years. I only have a handful of videos, either silly things or me reading some of my stories. My most viewed video was of me reading some stories out of my first book. I uploaded it about four years ago, and it has almost 200 views. Anyway, when they announced that they were remaking Ghostbusters, I wasn’t all that interested and figured it would suck. Yesterday I saw several articles about the trailer finally coming out. At first I didn’t care, but then I saw that it was getting some hate. So I figured I should watch it, and why not make a video of me watching it to get my reaction. It’s a short video of me looking bored and groaning. I figured it would get a dozen views or so. It hasn’t been up for twenty-four hours yet, but it has about 600 views. Of course, YouTube views aren’t always accurate. Last evening it looked as if the view had leveled off at about 180, but when I checked again an hour later, it was at 400. But it appears this silly little video I barely put any time into about a movie I don’t plan on watching, is now my most watched video. While the videos of me reading stories from my books barely get any views. On one hand that … hurts, but it may be eased if I make a little bit of money out of it. I’ll have to wait a few days to see how much I did make.

I think in three years I've made about $2, so I guess the only tip I have is don't do what I do.

@andriaperry Yes. I have it, but I'm not an expert on it. I set it up years ago and haven't really done much with it since.

Ma'am my opinion on this whole thing is in this video: I don't mind an all female cast, in fact I was kinda looking forward to it until the first trailer came out... And it was awful... It felt that this film was built to fail just so they could say:"Whelp, an all female Ghost Busters didn't work. Back to having an all male team." But this crap is patronizing and taking advantage of a lack of standards. The proof is in the lack of advantage taken with the female comedians in question, as many people have argued that these women are good comedians. But we're not getting that here. I commend these women for at least being committed to this project, because we can expect that from professionals. Especially after this mess.
FINALLY! I've uploaded this sucker. Yes I made a response to the Ghost Buster's trailer. I'm sorry it's late, but watch and enjoy.
