- The title of this video should change with the times. But nothing lasts forever: here's the story of how I made it work, why it used to be easier to make that work, and how it all ties in to the White Cliffs of Dover and the end of the universe.

It has to be, because otherwise if a video was uploaded at the beginning of youtube the title would need to be updated about 7000 times a day

@@HazzySW1 I smell cap
This is turning out to be way more accurate than Tom expected
I'd imagine the views presented by the UA-cam 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.

@Horizonshot Not necessarily. There's nothing wrong in the code, it's not something you can fix. Some day youtube will stop supporting a particular function, let's say, modifying the title of a video, or reading the number of views via code. Until that day, the code will read the number of views and write it in the title. Code doesn't "rot".
