- 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.

I love how this video periodically gets recommended to us when the title is exactly right
it did to me as well
@@samuelboczek1834 same
happened again
It mainly has to do with the title changing
The algorithm does that whenever parts of a video change, whether it be the title or the thumbnail
It did it to me aswell
I feel honored to see the title when it’s still exactly accurate and counting

This is the most profoundly insightful video I have ever seen on TH-cam. Equally deep and philosophical as well as inspirational. I always wondered what happened to the old, "fun" internet of my teenage years. Guess I found the answer. Quite depressing really. Thank you for making this Tom, it's my new favorite video from now on.
Still spot on. It was in my recommended (again).
This is a TED talk, but with better background.
Cienciabit: Ciencia y Tecnología. Exposed on my channel
yep
Spot on!
What
All his videos are
Fun fact: This title is probably the most refreshed title in all of TH-cam
G
It has to be, because otherwise if a video was uploaded at the beginning of youtube the title would need to be updated about 7000 times a day
true
You boys have any idea why did this video explode recently? Remember it being at 32m views like a week ago

Not really the limit, just a bot renaming the title to the video views in simple

Tom, it was spot on for me at 71,795,359! Brilliant, man!
I love that, not only the video is educational, inspiring, and entertaining, but also it goes very much against current editing styles that have a cut every 3 seconds.
This was great for scrolling addiction!
"the code will eventually break"
TH-cam: Nope.
Well eventually could be 30 years in the future
It did break but obviously not many ppl saw it
I hope it does so people can finally make another video sharing platform
It will break, some day

It depends, you can give them the title if you give it before it updates. And does it matter? No. You can search “This video has views - Tom Scott”. Or send the link
