After a long time becoming the first YouTube video to exceed 1 billion views, and mere months later then becoming the first video to crack the 2 billion view obstacle, to break YouTube Psy’s Gangnam Style has officially become the first video.
With using a 32 bit integer YouTube’s hit counter was programmed, YouTube clarified on Google+ this week, that as the services never expected a single video racking up more than the 2,147,483,647 viewers that the code max out at. After that Psy happened.
The calculation adjourned out while it hit that conjuring number, but don’t fear: YouTube’s cipher elves got to plan and a fix already seems to be in place, as the video’s angle currently placed at 2,152,419,883 (whew!) and counting. Google didn’t mentioned how it anchored the issue, but it did leave a little Easter Egg hidden in the 32-bit integer’s wake; float your cursor over Gangnam Style’s adverse and it might begin freaking out, before assuredly clearing on a abrogating number and bond to the Google+ post.
But the best part of the nightmare? You have got apology to watch that fascinating funniest dance yet again.
