This Video Has X Views (youtube.com)

Article summary

The article is not available, but the discussion reveals it's about a science-communication video that uses a dynamic title to show its view count. The video aims to help lay-people understand APIs, standards, online abuse, privacy issues, and automation. The title's view count is updated to match the actual view count, which some commenters find unimpressive. The video's content and message are more important than the gimmick, according to some commenters.

What commenters say

• The dynamic title is not impressive because it only updates the title, not the video itself.
• The video's message and content are more important than the gimmick used in the title.
• YouTube's view count updates slowly, making it possible for the title to match the actual view count.
• Editing videos after they have been uploaded and viewed is not possible on YouTube, which is a good thing for preserving the integrity of the content.
• A feature to edit videos after upload could be abused and is not necessary.
• The video's use of a dynamic title is a fun and creative way to relate to the content and message.
• The discussion about the video's title is a distraction from the more important topics of APIs, standards, and online issues.
• The ability to pipe services together, like in Yahoo Pipes, is still missing and would be useful for programming and automation.
