Gangnam Style Forced Youtube to Change the View Counter

Nidhi Hakla

This song, which became a super hit on the Internet in 2012, has seen so many people that now its view counter has reached its maximum capacity and is not growing any further. This video has been viewed more than 2.15 billion times.

Actually, YouTube had made its counter according to 32 bit, in which the maximum view count could be 2,147,483,647. But the popularity of Gangnam has forced YouTube to install a 64 bit counter.

YouTube made its counter as of 32 bit

YouTube said in a post on Google Plus, "We never thought a video would get more views than the 32-bit count (2,147,483,647 views), but that was when we didn't meet PSY (Gangnam's makers-singer)." Th. Gangnam Style has been viewed so many times that we have to upgrade to 64-bit count (9,223,372,036,854,775,808 views)!'

YouTube said that if you move the cursor over the counter of this video, its numbers will be seen changing, and in the end this count will show more. But it is not clear whether this count is accurate or not. However, after the 64 bit counter, it is expected that there will be no need to change it for a long time until a video crosses 9,223,372,036,854,775,808 views.
