Alongside ~~with~~ it, a promo video was published on YouTube which had gathered 20,000 views with about 100 likes and 2,000 dislikes after one day. One week later, the video had 50,000 views along with 3,500 dislikes contrasting just 120 likes. After one month, the video had over 56,000 ~~viwes~~views, 145 ~~positive~~likes, and almost 4,000 ~~negative ratings~~dislikes.
