This Video Has 72,794,012 Views

The title of this video should change with the times. But nothing lasts forever: here's the story of how I made it work, why it used to be easier to make that work, and how it all ties in to the White Cliffs of Dover and the end of the universe.

It's true and not true at the same time. Let's just say yt helped him with that code working right... He obviously didn't expect a company to bother with his video. But they obviously did... and now it is always right because they'd made it so.

[@Maxikinz]

@@korana6308 KZbin is not doing this. It's very easy to achieve this affect of having some code that updates the title every minute.

[@korana6308]

@@Maxikinz That's the thing. He said it would be close but not perfect. That code does that. No code would allow updating it in real time, it would just be counted as DDOS. So they are helping this video out by feeding him the statistics live. It's not hard. It just requires server level of intervention. They did a smiliar thing with Numberphile's "why every video has 301 views?" It shows 301 views in it ( of an outdated counting technique) with millions of comments and likes. Because it was a server level intervention done so by youtube. It's not hard. From time to time yt devs do some fun easter eggs just for funzies.

I wonder if this is one of those videos where KZbin themselves customized it to display a specific way? Like that Numberphile video about why KZbin views stop at 301. And it seems like there's another one but I can't think of it off the top of my head.
