The Stupid! It Hurts!

Psy's Gangnam Style video has been watched so many times that YouTube's counter could not cope and the company had to upgrade its system. Why did this happen?

Read the explanation, it hurts my fragile brain.

Because it's a fun song with a funny dance and a hot Asian chick? :D I'm glad to have contributed to this historical event!

They used int32 and not int64? :doh:

Yeah... they should totally have used an unsigned integer.

They couldn't - PHP doesn't support it. Somebody posted about it earlier in the week, or I misread the whole thing.

It's also sort of wrong :~ isn't it? If you follow their instructions and do the maths you'd discover the number of "boxes" is capable of holding about double the number of hits - effectively UInt32. This also results in no explanation about why the number flips round to int32.MinValue;

Stupidness is transferred just by mention "that's stupid". Smart things have no attention until you push people face into that thing and proof "it's worth to see".
