When I joined Hive in 2017 (the old chain) one of my first posts was a video of me trying to do a Texas accent for a contest some other user was hosting. I shouldn't have done that, I made a fool of myself. LMAO.
But guess what, guys? I won that contest! It was $100 back then. It was among the first cryptos I ever made or had, it was mind blowing 😅.
So there wasn't no #threespeak back then and Hive couldn't host a video, in order to post the video I had to post it on YouTube and share the link.
Since then I probably posted two other videos, then I never posted on YouTube again till this year. And all the times I posted this year it was because I wanted to share the video on Hive. I tried threespeak first but there were a lot of troubles logging in. I hear threespeak is cool now and all issues are resolved. Great!
After posting on YouTube and sharing it here I never went back to check and only open YouTube when next I want to share on Hive. Only for me to check the last time I wanted to share on Hive and find that I had 513 views on my video.
Goddamn!
I was shocked because all my previous videos only got 1 to 4 views, and i know YouTube users who have gone to great lengths but can't get up to 400 views. So how did this happen?
I thought it was a one-off thing and I posted the video I wanted to share on Hive and forgot about it again. But today I went on just to check and saw that the next video got 577 views! Guys! Again?
This morning I posted another video I didn't want to share on Hive, but just to see if I'll get any more views and so far I've gotten 310 views!
Damn, how come my videos are getting views when I didn't do anything to promote my videos, when I don't have any subscriber, and when I don't even care?
There's probably a reason why the algorithm is favouring me and I plan to milk this!
I've gone ahead to insert a profile picture, a cover photo and a bio:
(Can you imagine all of that was empty before?)

I'm going to be dropping workout videos, swimming videos, and other fun things my interesting Nigerian lifestyle leads me to.
