Hey, everyone! I've been pretty busy lately, but since I'm on spring break right now, I thought I'd give y'all a quick little update. Not only has this petition reached a milestone of 750 supporters, but also the Numb music video has passed 800 million views now!!! Plus, bingeclock.com/view/url/1348/overview now predicts the video will reach a billion views in 2020 instead of 2021! Thank you all so much for helping to increase its view count!! We are making an impact with every additional view!
Unfortunately, I still haven't heard back from Google, and it's been over a month. This is why I sent them a follow-up email today (as you can see in the image above). However, this may not be enough to convince them to promote the "Numb" video on their homepages on July 20. If any of you are willing to help, please send an email to proposals@google.com as well, asking them to promote "Numb" on the Google and YouTube homepages on July 20. Google will be more likely to grant our request if they see multiple people asking for it. Below is an example email you can use to send to Google. If you do not wish to send Google an email, please skip to the next paragraph.
Dear Google:
On July 20, 2018, please feature Linkin Park's music video "Numb" on the homepage. Their music has changed countless lives and still continues to inspire others as more people hear about it. After the tragic death of lead singer Chester Bennington on July 20 last year, so many fans are heartbroken, and I believe you can help! I and currently 770 others have signed a petition to ask you for your assistance: change.org/p/google-inc-honor-chester-bennington-with-one-billion-youtube-views-for-touching-song-numb. Our goal is to bring the music video "Numb" to one billion YouTube views before 2019 to honor Chester's legacy, to help the heartbroken fans heal, to stand up to mental illnesses like depression, and to spread awareness of the song so his music can continue to inspire countless more lives.
Currently, bingeclock.com/view/url/1348/overview predicts the video will not reach one billion views until 2020, but with your help, we can reach our goal! Millions of people visit Google and YouTube every day. If you featured "Numb" on the Google and YouTube homepages for even just one day, you could make a huge difference in whether we can reach a billion views before 2019. The way you feature the video on the homepages is up to you; all I and 770 other supporters are asking is that you help.
Thank you so much for your help!
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
If you do not choose to send an email, please consider assisting in other ways: promoting this petition, sharing this petition and/or the music video "Numb" on social media/with friends, etc. If you haven't already, please join the Numb to a Billion Views Facebook page: . Currently, "Numb" has 803M views! We are well on our way to one billion, but we need to make sure this cause does not lose its momentum. The more supporters we have for displaying "Numb" on these homepages, the more likely we will be to reach our goal of bringing "Numb" to a billion views by 2019 and hopefully eventually the most viewed music video on YouTube!
And as always, here's the link to the "Numb" music video so you can give the video another view: youtube.com/watch?v=kXYiU_JCYtU. Stay strong, Soldiers! =D
