You never really had to begin with.
Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.
I for one don't like the song and could care less about sting.

I think the answer is that this is a video that only die-hard PJ fans would be willing to search for. And in the grand scheme of things, there aren't that many of us. And obviously some of the die-hards didn't even like it. I was there, thought it was super cool, and think I watched it on youtube once. It's not that crazy to think it has a low number of views. It certainly didn't make any mainstream news when it happened (nor should it have)
Meanwhile, the original "Catch me outside" video has nearly 25M views. We live in a weird world.
Useless information factoid... Sting was in a band called Last Exit before he ended up in The Police.
