The number is obviously fake, but YouTube positions it at the top of the list, which will give the video a lot of (unwarranted) attention. The question is: How does one inflate the number of views for a YouTube video to 79 billion? And how long will it take YouTube's admins to fix it?
The video was posted by YouTube user LadyMC311, but nothing on her profile (if you're able to endure the awful choice of colors that will make your eyes bleed) indicates how this trick (or hack) was pulled. Other videos she had posted only have a couple hundred clicks.
Screenshot of YouTube's all-time top list is below. If you have any information on how this trick was done, let us know in the comments.
