About 15 years ago, my brother used to run a shoutcast (Internet radio) server. He wasn’t getting many listeners since the list of stations people browse was sorted by popularity - number of listeners.
So I disassembled and then hexedited the shoutcast server binary so that the initial number of listeners was 60-something (which meant the listener count would never drop below that). Then he actually started getting a few listeners :)
