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.
First time someone linked me to Gangnam Style on Youtube I was completely perplexed and truly suspicious because the view count just looked WRONG -- like it was possibly a look-a-like site with a bullshit viewcount.
It was the first time I ever saw a view count >1B and I remain astonished by this kind of reach.
10B is an entirely different level still.
that's impossible. there are less than 10B people in the world
It's "views" not "unique viewers"
Also, even unique viewers (that works to be determined by unique screens or IPs) don't mean unique people.
And even then it's all mostly kids playing it on repeat. Bloody annoying having to listen to it for hours.
