'Not being caught up', at 2020 optical carrier speeds 🤦‍♂️, makes a number Already Counted go Backwards??

This would explain much of the Biden election.

Yep. Load balancing means that you could be looking at a part of the network which has the newer value one minute then at another part which has an old value the next. YouTube handles an incredible amount of data, not just for the videos but for views, upvotes, downvotes and the same for comments. This kind of "we'll get there sooner or later" optimization is pretty inevitable.

"YouTube handles an incredible amount of data, not just for the videos but for views, upvotes, downvotes and the same for comments"

And their way to help alleviate some of that load is to address .. that is .. to do, then, undo, then do, then undo, then do, then undo, etc, .. the Same enumeration Multiple different times? lol

Rather than having one-line which simply Updates the integer value whenever newer information (or batches thereof) obtain round-robin.

There's no rational explanation (besides 'curating') which can explain an already-logged value 'going down'.

As a simplified analogy, how does '30 + 15 = 24'?

Sure .. 30.

Sure .. 15.

Sure .. busy and waiting.

But, however long one waits, 30 + 15 = 45.

Did thousands of anti-people from a reverse anti-matter universe un-watch the video?

Did thousands of anti-people from a reverse anti-matter universe un-comment on the video?

🤷‍♂️

Aaaaand, then simply demonstrate an MSNBC or Rap video exhibiting the same behavior.

Should I wait?

I just ran across this too. Looks like it will be good.

You're not getting it. There is not one authoritative place. That value is stored multiple places throughout the vast YouTube network and you might be accessing the new value then an old value from somewhere else on the network. I posted a link in another part of the thread but happy to post it again.

Your appeal to 'complexity' would never make an already-logged value go 'backwards'. It would simply, eventually, be updated, in progressively, cumulatively, higher (positive) integers.

No actual programmer / systems engineer would be so incompetent as to make a gigantic busy system unnecessarily More complex in order for a set address's counter to exhibit random values when it could just, instead, use (log) Addition.

Your appeal to 'complexity' falls flat, again, as Googtube not only serves its video content and comment threads, but also casually runs (frankly) mindbending analytic suites on every published page, as well, the granularity of which is capable of Real-Time using a third-party manager, but your position is that they can't perform Addition?

Spez: Watched the newer vid you linked. They're suffering an issue so easily solvable that I think I'll explore its protection and assignability, rather than discuss it here. But also, as someone else said, Googtube is "crooked as fuck", and an existence of A doesn't preclude an action of B, it just provides it cover. Many pedes might still recall the three-day period about 10 years ago when Alexa noted how '80% of visitors to essentially every Conservative website suddenly decided to never go there again.' At least according to Alexa's rankings. Per the concept that Trump2020 might have had a 47+ state win, whose to say what objective reality is when the people who announce it are evil and hate you.

Posting a wiki link doesn't really help anything. It doesn't explain the problem. Or even addresses it.

Look YouTube is owned by Google and crooked as fuck, and no doubt they likely do Nerf Conservative and Trump accounts, however zooty has a valid point. It's been a well established "fact", in that YT has said long ago views do not update in realtime.
