PSY - GANGNAM STYLE(강남스타일) M/V

It looks like it also broke the formatting on the number of the viewers: "2151501252". This string does not have thousands separators. Direct link to the video: [VIDEO]

I love that they added an easter egg to the actual video. If you hover over the counter, it briefly shows you the negative overflow value. [VIDEO] EDIT: I just realized that YouTube also posted a comment to that effect just below the video. :P

>Here's the form: [LINK] >, add the target video's URL and it will be taken down automatically. There's got to be a little more to it than that (at least for bigger channels) because it would mean that random people could take down Psy's "Gangnam Style" video[1]. I haven't tried it but I really doubt submitting a simple web form will get that video with 2 billion views removed. Therefore, I'm guessing there's a whitelist of special userids (e.g. WarnerBrosMusic, TaylorSwiftVEVO, etc) or adminstrative overrides to prevent vandals from shutting down legitimate videos. In other words, if there's an automated system for takedowns, there's another more god-like automated system that ignores abusers submitting them. The interesting question is: How do "nobodys" get that "benefit of doubt" treatment for their videos? [1] [VIDEO]

They seem to have some YouTube pages archived e.g. [VIDEO] They're definitely interested in archiving interesting videos but the project isn't there yet.

I also prefer seeing how my information ages: [LINK] [LINK] I'm more inclined to the Board's list than the (self-selecting, possibly motivated) Readers'. WEF have a list of the 20 most influenctial books: [LINK] Wikipedia has an (IMO) fascinating list of the most-sold books of all time. The Bible and Quotations from Chairman Mao (a/k/a "The Little Red Book") each have claims of over 1 billion volumes (1-6 being the range) sold. The next highest-selling book, Don Quixote , at 500m copies. Contrast that with the most-viewed YouTube video of all time -- Gangnam Style has amassed 2.8 billion views in five years. That's still the YouTube record so far as I'm aware. That makes me wonder what the highest number of impressions of any one media work has been. [LINK] [VIDEO]

It’s interesting to see another South Korean company in the creative Youtube space succeed like Gangnam Style. Had no idea Baby Shark was from South Korean company Pinkfong. South Korea is clearly super creative even on Netflix shows like Squid Games. [LINK] [VIDEO]

What a brilliant comment :) I'm not sure if you're joking, but it certainly brightened up my day. That Gangnam Style song is about riding and the associated up and down motion, just not related to horses. In that scene where he's watching the horses, he's singing: "A true lady who is warm and human during the day, who is classy and knows how to enjoy a cup of coffee. But when night comes, her heart gets hot..." and then you see the horse moving its head up and down and he sings: "A lady who is kinky in that way" And then you see him with 2 girls in his arms and he's using rather suggestive language: "A man who one-shots ... his coffee. A man who won't let things cool down ... A man who bursts when night comes ... his heart. A man with few muscles and he is bulging ... with ideas." Also, if you pay attention to it, you can hear that both gangnam songs are littered with audio samples of him and her moaning, e.g: [VIDEO] [LINK] And then there's the famous elevator scene where his lyrics are: "A good woman appears calm, but knows how to have fun. She's reasonable and when it's the right time, she will let her hair down ..." [VIDEO]

Famously in Korea they've gone one step further and mime riding a horse without even the wooden hobbyhorse: [VIDEO]
