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