I think this happens to a lot of people.

I had to fix my dishwasher and searched on youtube for people with the same problems. I found some videos and on a whim I clicked on the profile for one of them to see what else they had videos of, and it turns out all of their other videos were video auditions and screen tests. They're an actor and had a single video of them fixing their dishwasher, and their single little dishwasher video had several orders of magnitude more views than any of their other videos.

I always wondered what they felt about that.
