Final minute!

lol. Resetted to 15.

 

[Havik]

hmmm the counter resets itself back 15 min??

 

[ArchedThunder]

lol. Resetted to 15.

It's an algorithm based off of the time between view count updates and the views in those times, it isn't perfect.

 

[Nickovic]

Less than 200,000 to go!

Yep.

 

[JustinBB7]

It hit a billion for me but after a refresh it changed again, either way it's pretty close, next viewers count update will get it.

 

[Tworak]

It's stuck on that number, anyone knows why?

Why do YouTube views freeze at 301?

kinda the same thing

youtube updates stats every ~3 hours

 

[verdures]

Doing my part right now- haven't watched the video in forever and it's cracking me the hell up.

 

[ffdgh]

On gaf with the youtube tab open

so close....

 

[Ifrit]

Something curious, even though I've heard the song like a million times, I've never actually watched the gangnam style video

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

I find it very funny it happened/will happen today.

 

[RoyalFool]

Goodbye cruel world!! (30 seconds!)

 

[TheChits]

Something curious, even though I've heard the song like a million times, I've never actually watched the gangnam style video

Fix that man

 

[RoyalFool]

And the countdown site is now redirecting to porn...

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

And the countdown site is now redirecting to porn...

Is it?

 

[JustinBB7]

I just went to cougardating.com or something lmao.

 

[wotter]

So close...

 

[RoyalFool]

Is it?

It's showing me local girls in my area who are "up for it" now

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

lol. They gotta make them ad money somehow. It's okay. I don't need the countdown. Refreshing Youtube is more fun.

 

[JustinBB7]

Eitherway it's safe to say it hit the number now, but youtube won't update for another hour or 2 I read.

World still seems fine to me, but congrats Psy!

 

[Jacob]

I stopped watching the video as much after it based Baby but I've been watching a lot the past few days to help get it to 1B on 12/21/12. I'm a bit surprised but also very amused that it's about to pass that mark on this day.

 

[ffdgh]

Wtf it just redirected me to pron without closing the page

XXXblackbook

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Stop going to the countdown site.

 

[Ifrit]

Fix that man

Already fixed it

I liked how self aware everything is

 

[Nemo]

How much money would he have gotten with all those views? Commercials before the video etc. included? Over a million dollars? Way less or even more?

 

[Canis lupus]

So close...

Where did you get that?

 

[Psychological Intellect]

can't believe this will get a billion views. I'm even more surprised that it overtook justin beiber's 'baby' so quickly.

 

[Enco]

1,000,382,639

 

[kharma45]

Showing 1bn for me now

 

[Ifrit]

Milestone reached

 

[CassSept]

1,000,382,639

It is done!

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

 

[Psychological Intellect]

[Jacob]

Awesome!

Love the dancing Psy GIF next to the view count. :lol

 

[Nickovic]

He has plenty of other hits, just not outside Korea.

 

[Cindres]

Loving the little dancing Psy next to the number.

 

[LiK]

Incredible

 

[Onion_Relish]

Will we ever know who was the one billionth view?

 

[ffdgh]

I like the tiny dancing gif to the side.

 

[Malleymal]

i just woke up a bit ago and saw the billionth wow..

 

[oc]

well damn.

i thought someone was gonna make a thread once it hits 1 bil?

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

It's such a big thing that youtube put up the Psy icon in the views themselves. Crazy! lol

 

[jokkir]

well damn.

i thought someone was gonna make a thread once it hits 1 bil?

If someone doesn't make it, I will

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

If someone doesn't make it, I will

go ahead. Mention the 21st

 

[equap]

 

[darkwing]

Loving the little dancing Psy next to the number.

[Nibel]

And Germany didn't add shit

Fuck you, GEMA

 

[zerokoolpsx]

It's finally over a billion and the he's dancing next to the view counter. LOL.
1 out of 7 people on this planet has seen this video.

 

[JHall]

I want Psy and Ken Jeong (Mr. Chow) to hangout and be followed around with a camera.
