"The title of this video won't be exactly right"
I'm convinced RUclips just operates on pure spite, because it's been exactly right for over a year now

[@MrSamulai]

It baffles me how seemingly no one seems to understand what Scott meant by saying that. The title is simply identical to the youtube's own viewcount, which doesn't keep track of views in real time, only every minute or so. Which means it isn't accurate, and therefore neither is the title.

[@cupofspiders5830]
