22. Good point, that this one has 5x as many views,

so proportionally, this one isn't so different, in terms of how many recs compared to how many views.

But still, this one prompted a dozen "initial" replies (i.e. not counting replies to replies), and the other prompted none, and I think that might be because this one had text.

And even the increase in view might not be (only) because of what section it is in, but also because each reply bumps its placement, which means more people see the headline which increases the number of times someone is likely to click on it.

That said, the other one was placed in the appropriate section, it really should be in the one for videos, not GD.
