Exactly, thank you. I get what the massive appeal to the game is. I’ve played all the GTAs (yes I’m old), but something is fucky if it has that many updoots and not even 100k views (at the time).
Views don't update in real time but likes do. Always happens with big videos like this. It's something to do with YouTube reconciling the view counts across multiple servers, which gets very difficult with large numbers. It's a bit easier for them to create a stable like count when each user can only like it once, so they're essentially adding that user to a list and then counting the length of the list.

Interesting, thanks for explaining!
