Ask HN: Why do so many YouTube videos have exactly 54 upvotes?
- annor 3y agoCuz it adds up to 9

- markstos 3y agoSounds like a caching bug in the app.
- vasili111 3y agoMaybe system updates counts when it reaches that number?
- squeaky-clean 3y agoThe app has been glitched recently and only shows the thumbs up count from the first video you've watched.
- u2077 3y agoIt may be related to the famous 301 view count where YouTube would stop updating the total pending further verification that the views are legitimate. See: https://youtu.be/oIkhgagvrjI https://youtu.be/oIkhgagvrjI This behavior was later removed in 2015, but I wouldn’t be surprised if something similar is happening here.
