Video taking off 11x its usual first day

A question for formerly homeless people carries Reddit Report

The video drew thousands of likes but hardly any comments, while the rest of the channel ran at less than half its usual daily pace.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 654,534 views a day, 11 times a normal first day on this channel (60,793).

Ex homeless people, what was the scariest thing that you ever saw on the streets?Ex homeless people, what was the scariest thing that you ever saw on the streets?

Plenty of views, few words. Nine hours after Reddit Report posted "Ex homeless people, what was the scariest thing that you ever saw on the streets?", the video had passed 360,000 views. That puts it on course for roughly eleven times what a new upload on the channel usually gathers in its whole first day.

It stands out against a slow spell for the channel as a whole, which is currently drawing well under half of its normal daily views. Zver, a channel of similar size in the same corner of story and curiosity channels, is in a similar lull. Vin Explains is running a little ahead of its usual pace. Thousands of people liked the new video, but the comments amount to little more than a trickle.

The title is phrased like a Reddit thread, a single question put to people who once lived on the streets. It asks them to recall what frightened them most there. That format of one question to a particular group of people, with the answers gathered, is the one the channel's name promises.
