Howcome youtube views reset so much? I've had a video uploaded since 2007 and it's never gotten past 500 views. every time I check (rarely) it is between 200 and 500 views. youtube is horse shit. same with all the other guitar covers I have on youtube.

all you have to do is click a link and it just plays on your screen for you. are you that lazy? are you that indecisive? stop being so worthless.

...clearly i am that lazy if i went through the effort of typing a post instead of simply clicking a link.
I am VERY indecisive - if indecisive means having youtube blocked on your computer at work.
And worthless? oh ouch man, ya i take great offence to that, coming from the guy who's only society he contributes to is fucking ns.

do the producers of vids on youtube get paid for clicks if they reach a certain amount of views? if so, how much is 1000000000 clicks in money?

They typically pay 1/3 cents to 1 cent per view.

So: 1,000,000,000 views x .0033 = $3,300,000 at least.

That doesn't make sense that this is the first video in 10 years with a billion views and it just got released a couple months ago, how has something else not been viewed more before this video?

Psy is not comparable to rebecca black or beiber in any way.

There's a club district or something in a major korean city, called "Gangnam", and the entire purpose of the video and song is to make fun of the decadence and extravagance that is the accepted style in the district. Its a jab at pop culture, not a shitty pop song. But it kind of is a shitty pop song.
