- 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.

Kyrox Productions I ruined it it was perfect
Kyrox Productions It’s not accurate right now
Over a year*
nah 4 years
It still is accurate
"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.
@@MrSamulai exactly, so many people don't understand this.
@@MrSamulai I feel so stupid right now
Today I have witnessed the title of this video being wrong
What I mean is the TH-cam view count says the last theee digits being 288 but the title says 180
This has been recommended to me twice, and the title has been exactly right both times. Tom, you clever clogs.
yep
It’s not right
It’s correct rn
Off for me.
It’s right atm
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.
"It's a miracle if it's right"
It's literally exactly right
It's a miracle then
I was kinda blown when I checked up on it today
Hey same with mine!
I was so weirded out for a minute. (Not to mention, 3,203,203 seems like a bit too much of a patterned number)

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.
