Because tbh I don't see myself and many others getting a partner or anything similar that is "the real deal". Not gonna lie, if robots were as advanced as they are in sci-fi movies I would had married one and had those as friends.

I think all that will only be advanced enough when I'm gone unfortunately...

In a word? No.

In three words? No, definitely not.

In five words? Never Gonna Give You Up

To think that video has more views now than there are people in the Southern Hemisphere.

  • It was opened, but not necessarily watched
  • The same person can open the video multiple times.

Still a big number, but it doesn't mean that many people watched it.

It used to be that a single IP or single channel could only produce a single view on each video.

That's a good point, but even then, a single person could click the video on different devices on different networks (especially over time with switching providers or VPN usage at all), and a lot of people watch YouTube without an account.

Especially with Rick Rolling. Not everyone would end up watching on a signed-in account.
