This would result in Damian to go on Twitter and boast about how he gained 30,000 views and 4000 comments on his video in one night, sarcastically thanking The Act Man. The Act Man would quote tweet his take and thank him for (at the time) over 325,000 views, 30k likes, 10k comments and over 4,000 subscribers.
