Hey guys good to see you again, before the code ever breaks just wanna say even though we’ve never met. I’m glad we share this have a good life y’all <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="24">0:24</a>
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
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 convinced that someone at RU-vid 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 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.
I got it spot on after one single refresh! Guess it's more likely to get it right now that the video is years old and doesn't get as many concurrent views all the time.
I'd imagine the views presented by the RU-vid 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 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.
Did anyone else come into the comments looking for people who commented “whys this in my recommended” because it feels like this video was uploaded like 8 years ago, but it’s not
