Gangnam Style broke the number of views variable
Gangnam Style is a South Korean musician single Psy. The video began to gain millions of views immediately after the release. Already on December 21, 2012, the first video in history scored 1 billion views.
Here, this mediaphenomenon could be left alone, if it were not for the small fact that Gangnam Style recently revealed the shortcomings of video hosting. It turned out that the number of views is stored in a 32-bit integer variable, and the counter stopped at 2,147,483,647. The developers reported this in the official YouTube account.
The video service successfully turned the defect into Easter eggs: if on the video page you hover the cursor on the counter, then an illustration of the integer overflow will be shown.
