At this point I would be more surprised if the title was wrong.
As of now its wrong the title says 32,870,178 while the actual views is 32,870,305
I love how this video periodically gets recommended to us when the title is exactly right
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
Who else keeps getting recommended this and seeing how much it goes up?
This guy's a genius. This video is the ultimate clickbait, except it isn't a clickbait!
Watching in 2024, the title was accurate to the exact view, crazy
I feel honored to see the title when it’s still exactly accurate and counting
this keeps getting randomly recommended every now and then and its still always spot on
This video is getting so many views from people coming back to see if it’s still accurate
who else is always coming back to check if it’s still correct
I just exited and played it again, it ended in 702 ( the title) and the actual view count was 438. (The last three digits)
It’s 100% right, at this moment, we miss you Tom.
"If the title is 100 percent correct, its a miracle"
Seems like it's been a very long miracle
I checked the views 3 times. 1. Correct. 2. Incorrect (had more views). 3. Correct.
Fun fact: This title is probably the most refreshed title in all of TH-cam
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
You boys have any idea why did this video explode recently? Remember it being at 32m views like a week ago
When you think the title is clickbait but it’s actually not:
Well it is clickbait because look at the description the views aren’t exactly the same??
Who's watching in October 2024?
The title says that it is 80 more views than it was 10-12 hours ago
“The title will not be exactly spot on”
“That statement is exactly spot off”
this is insane to me how it’s still working 4 years later
If it’s 100% right then it’s a miracle
Everyone in the comments: I’ve witnessed a miracle
People literally pushing TH-cam's limit no matter what.
Not really the limit, just a bot renaming the title to the video views in simple
People are going to be amazed by this when they're recommended this in a couple of years.
This has to be the greatest timing of recommendation yet
"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.
What I mean is the TH-cam view count says the last theee digits being 288 but the title says 180
So according to him, this video will never stop being a miracle.
No the title of the video will always be wrong in some way it can be wrong right now and you'd never know it because it hasn't updated yet
four years later and it's still spot on
This title went from a cool experiment to a massive flex.
Him: *I flexed on 20M people because I simply changed the title too: "This video has 20M views."*
The title won’t be spot on, it’s a miracle if it is
The title: has always been spot on no matter what

I don't know why this got recommended to everyone all of a sudden, but it's unbelievable how it's still exact.
I'm convinced that someone at TH-cam is a fan of Tom Scott and has been constantly lobbying to keep the API up to date so that this doesn't stop working years later.
This is turning out to be way more accurate than Tom expected
I'd imagine the views presented by the TH-cam API are what are also used to show end users. All of the view fudging and aggregation will happen in the background before it's presented anywhere.
i thought the title and views is just luck and meant to confuse one person and i got so happy
4 years later still spot on accurate.
4 years later, its still spot on
"If it's actually accurate then it'd be a miracle"
Title: Is accurate all the time for over a month
So if you want to tell people about this video, you can’t actually give them the title
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
4yrs later and it's still 100% accurate
Well, in the south pole. its rare to find people with non-clickbait titles, you earned a penguin's respect
@@hansamitamajee1930 Yea you can identify yourself as anything you want
Btw i am a *TREE*
It's incredible how comments made an hour ago are getting 1000s of likes
“The title of this video won’t be exactly right”
Comments: *_are you sure about that_*
The title, once again, is perfectly correct
"It's a miracle if it's right"
It's literally exactly right
I was so weirded out for a minute. (Not to mention, 3,203,203 seems like a bit too much of a patterned number)
This feels like his final message to humanity before some secret organization got to him.
Who knows... Maybe students have to analyze his words in the future 👀
4 Years later and it still works
"The code was never the important part"
Sounds like the pivotal part in a film where the protagonist has a deep realization.
4 years later and its STILL spot on everytime i rewatch the video
This is the most brilliant idea to get views ever created.
The best part is that it’s one of the best TH-cam videos I’ve seen in a long time
@@finestcustard5647 I'd definitely say is one of the best videos i've seen on youtube ever.
This has been recommended to me twice, and the title has been exactly right both times. Tom, you clever clogs.
4 years later and it’s still accurate :D
I will be back a year later to see if it's still 100%.
Edit : I'm impressed , still 100%.
Over 4 years later and the title is still nearly completely accurate
When the title is correct:
Impossible
@@lol_txch the owner of the vid has the setting to chang the numbers or they can pause the views
Tom: *says title will be a bit off*
Viewers: *reality is often disappointing*
After all this years, this video is paying for the pension of Tom😊
When the clickbait actually clickbaits the entire World.
No it’s real stupid, Mr Beast comme nted on my latest vi d in my playlist!! omg I’m so shocked I’m crying right now 😭 😭 send me hate comm ents plzzzz
Tom: “The title won’t be exactly right”
The Title: Exactly right
TH-cam: So you think you’re smart do you?
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.
Liam Daly lmao just because of a "this comment looks familiar" comment u wrote a whole paragraph? if anything ur offended af, admit it lmao
this was a very wholesome video the number is still spot on
"the title of this video won't be exactly right"
"those bastards lied to me"
"This title won't be exactly right. If the title will be spot on - it's a miracle"
Today, mother, I have witnessed a miracle.
Two years later and it's still holding up. Nice work, Tom.
I wrote some code for a company that no longer exists "Bankers Trust". Many years later I came across a small pocket of people I used to work with at BT and found that the remnants have been bought sold traded for around 13 years. At that moment I got introduced as the "Guy who wrote the zzz system". I was mostly shocked that they still had it running. It was written in vb4 using DCOM and MTS in the lat 90's. AFAIK it's still going.
@Kakashi Hatake It is not the same for me, yt shows me 63,614,385 views instead of 63,614,332 Views
@@sherr6847 same still for me, maybe you guys caught it before it refreshed. Remember Tom said it doesn't refresh quickly
just popping by to say it still works
Did anyone else come into the comments looking for people who commented “whys this in my recommended” because it feels like this video was uploaded like 8 years ago, but it’s not
Kinda impressed that this video was uploaded on 6 apr 2020. Just a few weeks ago. Mind blowing
The perfect title doesn’t exist
This video title: *Hold my codes*
The title and views were actually wrong for me
Edit:it just fixed itself.
How has it been 4 years and the title is still on the dot, this is insane!
I just wasn't expecting something so deep and philosophical, you're a mad lad.
Who else just comes here every once in a while to see if it’s still accurate?
(Updated) 1 year, 3 months, and 6 days later, and it’s still accurate.
@@danishahmed1029 well i mean... It started with 1 and from there it went on
Had it perfect. Its still alive
"It'd be a miracle if the title was 100% correct"
Yet every single time I've come here, it has been.
It seems to me that his quote refers to the actual numbers. There is a common delay on the video so counter is about right but can not be always accurate.
“If this is 100% correct, it’s a miracle”
Looks like miracles are happening
For people living in 2030:
Believe it or not, it actually worked in 2020
i think people in 2030 might have found something even crazier to play with so it wouldn't be so surprising
And nowadays on twitter there’s bots that reply to “scammed”, “hacked”, “iptv”.
I was recommended this at 8.2 million. Then at 12m. Then at 18m. And finally 21m and now I’m finally watching it.
I’ve been here since around 100k and I’m astonished on how much it’s grown
I was so focused on the fact that its actually accurate, I didn't realize how many views it has-
It’s precisely accurate down to the very last view, I’ve managed to get a perfect screenshot
4 years later and its still going actually insane
spot on brother
recommended huh? we assemble once again
Next video to be recommended is the video stuck at 300 views
Tom: “if it’s actually spot on, it’s a miracle”
It’s spot on
It’s a miracle
It’s a miracle
