The most watched general conference talk from last session was RMN think celestial talk which has 200k views, NOT 200M views. 

RMN most popular video of all time has 21M views! but significant evidence suggests it only got those views from the church pumping huge $$$ (millions?) into advertising it.

The Lord will provide a way?

So much for the one size fits all plan of salvation
