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.
I'm getting rather a lot of emails telling me that it's working (by my standards, miraculously well)! Which is great, thank you! -- but for the sake of my inbox: the code's also keeping logs for me, don't worry about it :)
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
This Video was recommended to me, I didn't search for it - although I had taught about it few weeks ago because I forgot the title when I last watched it few years ago!
Today is the day that I will present my monograph to my teachers, and the end of the video made my cry a little. All the work that I made will break someday or be out of date, but right now I'm proud of what I made, and think it had a positive impact on people, so it's a win :)
I see 56,662,598 in title. 56,662,956 in description That is scarily accurate, especially since I have seen this video 17 times and it was right on the money the other 16. That program is really good.
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.
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.
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.
At this point I would be more surprised if the title was wrong.
