>turns it's userbase into viewbots on "accident"
>gets a billion views in under 24 hours
>somehow doesn't get in trouble for this, youtube doesn't even step in since the views are somehow considered legitimate despite the video being non viewable while it plays in the background of their app
>responds with "oops" as if they did a haha funny thing
how is this being allowed?

YT will send Discord the invoice for bandwidth and servers and they'll pay and all will be good
It's a big club and you aren't in it.
>redirecting from pajeets to israelites
oh no you won't
Do not attribute to malice what is adequately explained by stupidity. Especially when dealing with Electron devs. Doubly so when they have a track record like the Discord devs.
there is functionally no difference between malice and incredible stupidity
>Do not attribute to malice what is adequately explained by stupidity.
This is another way to say:
>Just don't investigate. It's just a coincidence, and even if it isn't, it's a good thing. Now stop noticing it happening.
No. Do investigate. Don't claim it was done on purpose unless the investigation says it was though.
The views are illegitimate regardless of intent.
>do not attribute to malice what can be attributed to stupidity
i used to think this then started shopping at SPAR where half the prices are slightly off (20p here, 50p there, etc)
because im autistic with near photographic memory i remember the correct prices
they never update them (wrong price stays on shelf after complaint), and the prices are never lower than shown
SPAR is malicious, dont shop there
I used to work at a SPAR, we always had wrong prices on shit because it was changing daily and unless you had access to the office, I.e. the guy the rest of the staff probably hates, you couldn't print new labels yourself.
There's no big ploy, staff are just lazy when you pay them minimum wage for shit work
Don't you have electronic price tags that auto update according to the database where you live?
>Do not attribute to malice what is adequately explained by stupidity.
This is what malicious people want you to believe.
d*scord is prime glowware these days so they can do whatever
stop giving this shitty publicity stunt any more attention
>how is this being allowed?
An ineffective, spineless, neutered, captured government that refuses to regulate the shady profiteering of corporations is why the world is getting exponentially shittier, and why Discord is going to do all of the unfun things: because it's NOT illegal
>profiteering
But I have to blame pjaeets.
Qrd?
normal people should have never been allowed on the internet
It's just a single number anon, and look at how angry it has made you.
they deserve each other. why would you even be mad about this lmao are you a youtube employee or moronic?
its a 17 second video, an unmonitized video
over a billion hours of content is viewed by users every day. a billion hours not a billion views.
0.004% of youtubes daily views
Based Miyu poster.
Who cares? YouTube is already dominated by mega corps.
So every person on the planet watches 10k videos every day?
no you moron reread my posts
Damn you OP I wanted to make a thread on popular thing. Also how tf did this vid get 1.4 billion views in 24 hours? Are ppl really that into gambling.
>how is this being allowed?
startups do tons of moronic shit especially right before ipo
reddit did their moronic API fee shit
zoom was an insecure mess
the investors are okay with this
probably looped through children using youtube
I'm just happy it has made Kpop gays seethe.
?????????
Wtf does this have to do with asiatic music you schizo
Previous 24 hour view record was held by BTS and Kpop gays were literally crying with happiness.
You are talking like a /misc/. Please explain what happened?
I cannot come with an estrogen analogy for your since the mere thought disgusts me. Clear, amigo?
>Why would [large corporation] allow [other large corporation] to use its advertising services for advertising?
Who gives a frick? Why are you buttlasted over fricking youtube views? On a joke video?
Woman behaviour, you pearl-clutching b***h
troon thread
Why do you Black folk keep posting frogs? What's with you Black folk and frogs?
Does this have something to do with the "Black folk in paris" song?
Who knows what else they are "accidentally" botting or mining in the background
Wait a minute, schizos lied to me that the JS that comes with embedded youtube video spies on me, checks my heart pulse, my eye fixation, and behavior on the page?
>people think this was done on purpose
morons
you really think they'd reveal the power of their botnet like this on purpose?
this was an amateur move done by the morons that work there
there's a reason no other company on earth has ever done this
you never reveal the strength of your botnet in public like this
discord is moronic
I do not care.
>on "accident"
>on
This is your brain on American education.
ayo *smacks lips* we wuz on accident should of thout ouf dat mhmm i be sayin whuut
>I really need to post something but I have nothing relevant to say.
who cares? it's just a viewcounter and youtube server load.
this should not concern you for you should not use either of those services in the first place
>how is this being allowed?
I don't think it is allowed. They're trying very hard to play it off as a joke, but they just revealed to (quite literally) the whole internet that they used their app to establish a botnet. They're definitely getting sued for this and the poor jeet intern who implemented this is getting fired
I don't get it. why are people mad at a fricking view counter now?
do you morons have nothing better to do with your lives than to worry about the most random, inane shit? are you guys mentally ill?
Are you mad that a veiled bbc thread died for this?
>t.amerimutt following mutts law
It's called money laundering, disguised usually as a legitimate sale of something with an inflated value or in this case as monetized views
>YT says it's legit so can't/won't do anything
Complete BS. They demonetize people every day that didn't violate terms at all. They sure as shit would be reneging on this if they wanted to or pulling out the lawyers.
But they want this to happen, there's a good reason they do.
Otherwise you can bet everyone and their mother is going to start figuring out a way to do what Discord did and then b***hing to YT when they don't let it happen.
Why do people care about the view count on this random ass YouTube video? Afraid they took the 24 hour record from your favorite kpop hook? I really don't get it
