I thought it was incredibly bizarre that there were so many youtube reviews for this game , but I wanted to know exactly how many.

I inspected the comment element in firefox and counted 65 matches. I took this into a text editor and filtered it down to 63. I then loaded this into Python because I wanted to know what the average view count was. As of this post, the minimum views were 5, maximum 731 and an average of 118. Here's the distribution:

Not sure if this is a phenomenon exclusive to itch.io but I found it incredibly strange. I guess people are trying to become famous by posting video responses? Is it because it works? Did some big youtuber play this game and everyone's here trying to get second-hand attention? What's going on.

I believe it is due to the emotional story telling the game presents along with the innovative gameplay. They simply want to share this journey with others. I myself shed several tears during the development of this project due to the shear beauty it presents.

I did have some PTSD flashbacks when I picked up the OSRS brass key so I guess it's emotional

this game was wonderful, the gameplay , the music , the humor five out of five stars for this. One question, What is the music that plays after you beat the bull worm and win the game?

I think it's because of "Krabs overdoses on Ketamine", other people have then made more meme games centered around Krabs and it seems to be why it's picking up pace.

So you're half right.
