- 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.

this comment looks familiar
Doge Guy grow up mate, there’s 132k comments and I read about 3 but if you think I’m sad enough to scroll through and copy another comment then fine but I can assure you you’re wrong. Jealousy at its finest.

It’s exact every time I check
The code is better than he thought. It’s still 100% correct
still is
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.
@@korana6308 TH-cam is not doing this. It's very easy to achieve this affect of having some code that updates the title every minute.
@@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 It shows 301 views in it ( of an outdated counting technique) with millions of comments and likes.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.

"The title of this video won't be exactly right"
I'm convinced TH-cam just operates on pure spite, because it's been exactly right for over a year now
It baffles me how seemingly no one seems to understand what Scott meant by saying that. The title is simply identical to the youtube's own viewcount, which doesn't keep track of views in real time, only every minute or so. Which means it isn't accurate, and therefore neither is the title.
