Member-only story
The title of this blog won’t be exactly right. It only updates every few minutes so don’t bother refreshing, refreshing, and refreshing. You won’t actually be able to see it ticking up second-by-second.
If it’s actually 100% spot on it would be a miracle, but if it’s close then the code I’ve written is still working. But at some point, that code will break and the title of this blog will slip more and more out of touch with reality.
The man in the picture above is Tom Scott and that image is from his wildly successful YouTube video: This Video Has X Views
Now that’s not the actual name of the video. In fact, it’s nearly impossible to give you the exact name because the name of the video changes every few minutes.
You see Tom created a piece of code that changes the title every couple of minutes based on how many views the video had at that current time.
I loved the idea of this video and I decided to recreate it on a different platform.
So let me give you the story of how I recreated his video on Medium, and how all of this is even possible.
