  > Can't be! The youtube video "only" has 92 million views. Hey, you never know. It says 92 million, but YouTube view counts were int32 until 2014. http://arstechnica.com/business/2014/12/gangnam-style-overflows-int_max-forces-youtube-to-go-64-bit/ http://arstechnica.com/business/2014/12/gangnam-style-overfl... Was Gangnam Style really the first to hit kint32max? ;-)

    Yes, it was a big deal when it hit a billion views and when it "rolled over" the counter.

      I remember Blaine getting blamed for that one too.

    Why wasn't it an unsigned int?
    • nommm-nommm 10y ago
      Not all languages have unsigned ints (java for example doesn't).

  Or he used somehting like youtube-dl. So it counts as 1 view, and he watched the downloaded file a billion times. ;)
