Hey guys good to see you again, before the code ever breaks just wanna say even though we’ve never met. I’m glad we share this have a good life y’all 0:24
I'm convinced that someone at RUclips is a fan of Tom Scott and has been constantly lobbying to keep the API up to date so that this doesn't stop working years later.
Doge Guy grow up mate, there’s 132k comments and I read about 3 but if you think I’m sad enough to scroll through and copy another comment then fine but I can assure you you’re wrong. Jealousy at its finest.
"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
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.
It depends, you can give them the title if you give it before it updates. And does it matter? No. You can search “This video has views - Tom Scott”. Or send the link
I'm getting rather a lot of emails telling me that it's working (by my standards, miraculously well)! Which is great, thank you! -- but for the sake of my inbox: the code's also keeping logs for me, don't worry about it :)
Code is a product of your imagined solution of any particular problem and your skill in using any particular tool (language). It's an intermediate step of translating means (imagination and language) to an end (solution).
@@houghwhite411 well i don't think that's entirely true, i don't really know about software developing or coding but i study coding in C++ at school so i am not completely ignorant. i think that knowing the instruments you're working with improves improves the range of things you can create with them, for example in video editing, having a cool idea in your head is and then making one person realize that is fine, but knowing the tools themselves opens many more possibilties, cause you know how they work from the inside and you can come up with many more creative solutions
