Number of views indicator of application YC status?

From previous applicants perspective, did you feel the number of video views is a valid indicator of whether your application makes it past the pre-screening? ie 1 view = no go, 1 to 5 = maybe, 5+ = interview

View on HN

In marketing analytics there is a saying... "Don't waste time testing things that don't give you actionable metrics".

Meaning... 1 view, 5 views, 100 views... what will you do differently even if you knew this info? Not a thing :)

So spend your time working on your business. Thursday will be here soon enough.
