[–] berbec 7y ago ↗ A fairly impressive achievement on Youtube's part. They must be dynamically remirroring popular videos, otherwise disk io would fall behind load. [–] woliveirajr 7y ago ↗ Probably it never left RAM...
[–] franciscop 7y ago ↗ 5.5 billions views according to Youtube itself [1]. So it's way over the Gangnam Style (3.2B) and See you again (3.8B). Impressive, it's way more popular than I even thought possible.[1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJQP7kiw5Fk
