Btw, the lootboxes cost absolutely nothing, and they give you a clown border around your profile once you 'draw' 9 different "rewards"
Absolutely Golden
That's why i saw a lot of people with that border?
yeah. i still use it unironically because i dont want to pay for a border
They also add advertisement framework to discord
Actually it's a great reward, it fits me perfectly !
“Discord might have made CZcams lose thousands- if not MILLIONS of dollars”
Unbelievably based
The good news: CZcams might have lost a lot of money.
The bad news: Discord might have gained a lot of money.
@@xx_amongus_xx6987Discord Is superior in my opinion their company is better because they care. CZcams is corporate greed and money
hungry discord can just be cringe.
Best prank ever
@@xx_amongus_xx6987 I've heard Discord doesn't have monetization enabled on their channel
@@xx_amongus_xx6987 can’t a video only be monetised if it is over 8 minutes long?
It's like how Fextralife was juicing their Twitch stats by including the stream on every wiki page, but in this case Discord staff just did it without even thinking about effects it would have on CZcams
man that fextralife thing annoys the hell out of me every time I wanna look up darksouls or elden ring stuff It tries to put that on the screen
@@foxepunz4849Pro tip: You can manually block them with any good adblocker.
fextralife suuuuux
@@foxepunz4849Did my last comment just get filtered? I was suggesting you use a tool designed for filtering advertisements to remove those streams. (That's what I do.) If I genuinely got censored for that, then I'm mad about it.
Google "uBlock Twitch/CZcams embed"
It's the best kind of prank.
One that confuses not only the target audience but also the creators.
Nah, it probably more so confused the creators. I greatly appreciated the "waste of time" (aka all the references).
Imagine the amount of money Discord could've made if they turned that up to a 10-minute video.
Them Discord staff used hacked lootboxes to make this happen 🗿🗿
@PeepingIssues i hope you get terminated
Yeah, but the amount of views would probably be lower, unless it resets every time you switch to another channel.
Or that doesn't work.
Anyway, it is only that high because it is a short video that can replay really fast. If it were longer it would have been 20 times less probably
@PeepingIssuesyou don’t have any videos wdym
It only has so many views because its 17 seconds so it loops easily. If it was 10 minutes long, it wouldnt even reach 100m and would probably be even lower
Discord not just pranked their users, but also went another step to prank youtube and youtube users as well.
fuckers accidentally pranked themselves as well

I had a good sandwich today, it was yummy!
Discord's lootbox april fools was fantastic cover for them announcing they were adding ads to the platform, for real, on April 1st.
wait what
oh no...
@@Fizziscoolthey seem to be just quests rn
Yeah it’s not all that intrusive
Me as I spread misinformation on the internet 😋:
@GameMaker3_5 it's not misinformation tho, discord is adding ads onto the platform
1 in 5 people has seen this video, what an astounding statistic
Well, not exactly, but I'd say 1 in 50 people have seen the video 10 times. 1 in 500 have seen it 100 times, etc.

i dunno, probably some guy with 0 subscribers, and no views, pfffft
surely he’ll never grow and have 650k subscribers
Idk some guy who cannot even make acid base tetration
"all you need to do is create a big platform" that is harder than it sounds
and to create it is the easiest part
sad but true
@@_kitaes_yup
The lootbox joke actually worked on me because it sounded like something they would do, i was just wondering where the price was for each lootbox and kept opening in confusion wondering when it would tell me i needed to pay 5.99 for another box
Same I was wondering what the limit was about
just for them to give a clown decoration afterwards
Not only did they smash the viewcount, they smashed my data limit by replaying a 1080p video HUNDREDS of times in one day. Nice prank discord, my wallet really got a laugh out of this one!
ha
How much data did you use?
@@oskain 12 gigabytes. $50 for every 5 gigs.
no data warning set up???

Someone at Discord is either getting horribly fired, or getting a massive pay-raise

@keleee what
@@ElectionAnalysisAndPredictionthey're just annoyed cause they couldn't make an original comment
@Morally_Immoral1 huh
Discord : we do a little bit of trolling
Discord you made a viewbot that literally broke all CZcams records in terms of views and surpassed gta 6 in less than 24 hours
Discord 100% decided it was an April Fools prank last second
I find funny that they added a red gradient background to the shop button because thought that nobody was buying their "micro"transactions because they didn't notice the shop being there when in reality it is because it's massively overpriced. So i guess this is them trying to make money.
a recent article published in wall street journal reports that they are now putting ads in discord. look it up- can’t link it or my comment will get removed.
@@itspfaff I just saw it recently after coming home. Opened Discord and an ad about "The Finals" game came up just above my username.
The video has now been fixed and sits at currently 2.7 million views at the time of writing this but it will still be remembered as the biggest accidental April fools prank
Discord casually making the most potent viewbot in human history for a shitpost:
This might have been a DDOS attack if discord decided to do that prank on a smaller platform with less powerful hardware.
Sad you didn't cover Discord adding ads, as this lootbox prank feels like a cover for that. Even if the view botting was on accident
They what
This probably will either be reverted by Discord or CZcams will try to fix this issue on their side. If neither side does anything, then we might run into a massive issue with the *CZcams algorithm itself.*
....aaaaand it's gone!
This had to had to have been orchestrated by The Spiffing Brit. There's no other possible explanation.
hahahahaha
The only video that is non music or kids video has 1.4b views
World's first April fool's joke video to reach 1b?

Anyway, didn't even know about this till now, as per usual with memes I suppose
bruh, I only heard of loot boxes after a friend showed me a screenshot after april fools.
I just learned about it after clicking the badge thingy, at first I thought the clown decoration was another nitro thing lol
"Calm down my brotherly friend, it was only a small bit of tomfoolery"
The tomfoolery that commenced
To be honest, the BEST April Fools Discord could have pulled on us would have been to have the notification alert beep at random intervals for no reason.
okay calm down satan
My favourite part about the whole thing is the button to close the lootbox ad was the text 'dont care, didnt ask.'
April Fools Day has kind of just lost all meaning at this point. April Fools pranks used to be “haha I filled your water cup full of soda! Happy April Fools!” But now every day feels like April Fools Day, so the pranks have gotten even more extreme. Now it’s “haha I killed your dog! Happy April Fools!”
That's why I don't even acknowledge it. People who participate are playing a game of who can one-up the other. It's something you should shame others for engaging in.
@@therealdoc calm down and cope more lmao if people like to do jokes on that day, let them. game devs are having lots of fun with this, landfall games released another april fools game. Stop thinking of yourself as oh so great
single greatest discord april fools prank
Looking forward to the Spiffing Brits video on this.
About discord and micro transactions, I don't think it shocks anyone. The feature you pay for are either completely understandable (more bandwidth) or completely aesthetic (banners for servers, custom profiles, etc.). The service is great when you use it for free and the only real paywall locked features are ones that cost discord money. Any sane person can understand why a company doesn't want to let you post 100MB pictures for free, and the cosmetic stuff is there to show off but doesn't remove features.
even then some good cosmetics are free.
though.. 5$ a month for some cosmetics is kinda.. eh
@@ndjdndnsnsj-ig5do But thats just it, it's not bad it's just eh, whatever.
This. The only "meh" features for nitro maybe are the 4k character limit and some streaming technicalities but that's about it
Maybe if they didn't introduce features just to take them away later as nitro incentives people wouldn't hate it so much
It was quite expected tbh@@disgruntledcommenter
HOLY SHIT HE WASNT KIDDING 💀💀💀
genuinely thought this video WAS the april fools joke…. 2 days late
I wasn't home during Easter and so missed April 1st as well, so I had absolutely no idea about any of this
aaaand it's gone
Discord accidentally make the funniest April fools joke bro💀
At least the views are kinda legit!
How? It was automatically playing on loop when you boot up Discord, so it was legitimately viewed 1.4 billion times but not by that many humans, this video is 17 seconds short so active discord users have probably given this video hundreds of views each since it's actively running in the background, the real victims where the discord users so it's not botted!
This is the same way kids channels are able to get billions of views since the parents is letting their own children's watch it on repeat rather than taking care of them!
Well no, the children are actually at least kinda watching the things. For discord its literally playing in the background so they literally have no clue.
reminds me when opera gx autoplayed their twitch stream on the gx homepage and they had hundreds of thousands of viewers
I didn't know this happened. Great Video!
discord: 1.4B views
despacito 8.4B views: finally a worthy opponent our battle will be legendary
Baby shark: 14B views
Pathetic
Baby Shark has more views (deserved)
@@Vision-ky7ewf no
This is really fucking great LMAOOOO
They found the infinite XP glitch of a lifetime 😭😭
I've been wanting someone to break this down.
Surprisingly, I would have never known about this if it werent for LIMC.
The greatest april fools prank of all time
It's crazy how discord doing an oopsie is going to start a wave of view farming for profit
This is the best april fools prank ever. This costed CZcams millions to host... 💀
Bought account
It did not cost them millions.
And they also make way to much money because they don't pay creators fairly so I have no pitty for them
For those who don't know, the desktop discord app is basically just a 'regular' browser.
I like how the loot box is directly parodying the way they were originally in overwatch
1:43 No Text To Speech cameo!
It wasn’t a meme, it wasn’t a trailer, it wasn’t hate involved, it was just an April fools prank 😅
As long as you can directly buy a specific item, who cares if Discord has microtransactions? It's all cosmetic, and it's not like I'm unlocking a character or getting an increase to a stat.
The high up developers swears with a clown frame😭😭😭😭💀
Discord casually creating an infinite money glitch as an april fools joke
Discord went from being on verge of bankruptcy to stand on its own feet once again.
I like how "is the video monetized?" is a serious question with staggering implications but it's just one guy with an anime profile pic asking with 3 replies
it got nerf
In a weird way this is the quickest way to devalue every view normal content creators get because advertisers will assume even more views are bots.
Ive been planning to make a site like that for a long time now. Im surprised no one did it until now
The clown is my favourite pfp frame of all time
The prank was so effective that they even pranked themselves
The ironic part is that I didn't actually watch the lootbox video but probably gave them a bunch of views just by having Discord open
The fact that Discord thinks that them making lootboxes is some wildly oit of character thing is hilarious
*That's gotta be the best April fools joke I've ever seen.* 😂
So it would seem “You know the Theme intensifies”
Damn how did that happen 😧 congrats 🎉🎉
how did i still not get that vid recommended but i hope no one else tries to break the system
actual infinite money glitch
A prank so good that they even pranked themselves
I did not even know this happed what a great video
1.4b to 2.9mil are crazy
how did i not see anything about this the day it happened
this was the real april fools prank
my highschool's robotics team attached a laundry basket to a chassis and some pistons, and the vid where we revealed that is now our team youtube channel's most viewed video
I am still happy I got to open up a few discord loot boxes
“We do a lil trolling” the trolling in question.
was really hoping the breaking youtube part was going to help me fix the problem on why youtube won’t play any sound on my pc lol
Discord gonna give employee a surprise tomorrow after this
CZcams out here shivering in their timbers
Crazy that Horizon made it into a LIMC vid
These last few years I feel like an anthropologist, watching people do all these weird shit from afar
if they actually added loot boxes, it would be really stupid, however, it would probably still make quite a bit of money.
damn thats crazy
This is what I call massive amounts of Trolling
This will go down in CZcams history!
Discord doing a little bit of foolering
This is one of the biggest pranks I ever seen
nah i think that 1/8 people on the planet was just super exited about discord lootboxes
most april fools pranks: im going to throw a water balloon! discord: im going to break records on youtube.
Discord: "Hey CZcams pay up scrub."
the fact that discord didnt make a single dollar is fucking sad
Of course it wouldn't, it's under 30 seconds
no, they could do that, its just that they never hit 4000 hours last month@@DunkerDoinker36
I didn't even know about this video until 2 days later
R.i.p to the views that the discord lootbox video got before CZcams reset it
the fact that its not bots watching the video and real humans watching it is probably why that will probably remain discord's most viewed video
