This Video Took 3 Takes
#mogulmail #ludwig
Lud held onto his mic for 43% of this video
Cool
That's a funny statistic, thank you.
Who's Lud? That's clearly Mogul
That's nice, but you posted that 3 minutes after the video got released.
are you sure it wasn't for 37% of the video?
oops
1.4 billion wtf
You silly billies
HOW
the first time in recorded history that desktop discord was more broken than mobile
Yooo
Interestingly, the video likely didn't really make any money, due to embeds not having ads on them, thus indirectly costing CZcams even more than hosting a 600 million view video normally would.
This has been changed a while ago, and unless changed again, ads work on embedded videos. I just don't think they turned them on, if you want to have something loop in the background, you'd never enable them.
From Google: "When you turn on ads for your channel, you can share in revenue from ads being served within the CZcams Video Player embedded on other websites or applications. Note that embedded videos will honor the same ad enablement settings as videos on youtube.com."
But it also wouldn't be the first time that their own articles are outdated.
yknow whats crazier, too? I think embeds are actually a bit more to host because its through an embed, which connects to the host. Not sure if im right, but wouldn't that mean it's hitting 1 extra place before hitting the discord client? If so, that would basically 1.5x or even 2x it lol
+ i heard videos under 30s are not "properly monetized"
@@savinglee. Any embeds in discord are cached by discord so it's an additional 1 request for all plays. However in this specific case an embed wasn't used as far as I can tell and the youtube video was just directly embedded into discord which makes it not use an additional request
I wonder if it lost youtube more money than rhythm
0:54 Lily catching strays 💀💀💀
Immediately rush to cmt to see if anyone notice xD
Sorry I'm dumb please explain I don't know what you're referring to
Presumably a lilypichu April fools video where they announce her and Michael Reeves broke up
She announced that her and Michael "broke up" on Twitter
That's actually the opposite of what she did tho.. that was definitely about Itstimmy's gf doing this
hey ludwig that mic had a stand attached to it you don't have to hold it
Hes new to this, he will learn eventually

Between Discord accidentally viewbotting their way to a world record, Landfall releasing their own version of Lethal Company, and Team Cherry revealing the Xbox store page and ESRB rating for Hollow Knight Silksong, this has definitely been one of the more whacky April Fools days that I've experienced.
I would say the game from landfall is more akin to phasmo
That silksong one is rough oh noo LMAOO those poor fans want that so badly i stg theyve been waiting for silksong for so long
And that Lethal Company clone is free today.
Yeah, we also got gifted One With Nothing in MtG Arena and there's a new rock pet with wobbly eyes called Dwayne.
The Landfall game is cool but it’s buggy and crashes randomly, reminds me of their other games😂
I have the unfortunate situation of my birthday being April 1st. I get the "haha your life is a joke" comment about 3 times a year.
„3 times a year“
Mom, dad, and sibling? =D
My little brother's birthday is also april 1st but I don't think he's had a bad experience at least I hope, I think it just depends on the people you surround yourself with, if that kind of joke offends you then you should tell them not to make it or try to avoid the people that are making them, it's an incredibly awful joke though
This must suck. Really insensitive stuff
Your life is a joke it's not April 1 here.
Ayy same Birthday as Usopp then!
6:00 - Just an FYI - CZcams would only transmit the video a single time to each user, the player will cache the video (particularly one that short), so it can loop it forever without transmitting much data, but the counter still ticks up every loop. It's still likely been sent to a few million people who would never have clicked on it though. Also, I don't think it was monetized, so it's unlikely that there's really all that much damage involved here, other than them setting a record that no one's going to break (since presumably CZcams is going to be pretty upset with whoever pulls something like that again, else everyone will do it.. imagine Microsoft having a popup background video player in Windows, so that every single person on the planet with a Windows PC and access to CZcams burns through thousands of loops a day).
Easy 100 billion views
Thank you, this was my assumption as well but I wasn't fully confident in my knowledge of how this would work.
Im pretty sure if you have it cached, it wont count as a new view. Relooping a video in a normal way wont get counted.
Discord must have done something that allows a refresh of some sort to allow another view to happen
@@Mt.Everest Exactly unless you look at the exact implementation that Discord has there is no way to know, I agree that normally what bblvrable said is the case but this is not a normal case.
So if the video gets cached, the api call is still working to up the view ticker but not restreaming the video from a server? That's at least as much as I understand. I would've thought it didn't cache and each view streamed from a server counts as a view, while cached do not add a new view each iteration
This is like when fextralife embedded their stream into their wiki but this worked way better
It was way more insidious than that, it was the entire fandom wiki network
@HailHydra27 who are you referring to? Fextralife doesn't control the fandom wiki. Idk, do you mean an actual fandom like fromsoftware games?
@@SeanSMST fextralife is its own website bro
@@HailHydra27 different companies same issues - Fandom and Fextralife. The only difference is that Fandom uses the wiki created by the fans while Fextralife wrote any shit and called a day.
@@SeanSMST they mean, I presume, that Fandom does this on every single one of their pages to boost views towards their own videos about whatever page you happen to be looking at. Ie; If you're looking at the Matrix fandom page a Matrix Honest Trailer video will start playing in the background
I feel like ive been fooled, i asked for mogul mail and i got ludwig.
Ludwig, as a content creator that makes short clips, that video is not in the shorts category but in normal videos, and normal videos don't get ads until they're above 30 seconds, so that video probably hasn't even made 10 dollars.
Dying Light guy
Edit: when I wrote this I didn't realise that you're second last video was calling yourself the dying Light 2 guy
This video doesn’t make any money because it was an embed and no ads played, youtube doesn’t get any money from it either lmao
@@Boxish yeah also that’s the other thing
Woah dying light 2 guy
The record also isn't broken (as far as we know). Supersonic Unity had an ad in 2021 that gain an approximate 1.2b views.
Discord devs not knowing how youtube views work is honestly one of the least surprising things i’ve heard
Do you think developers should know the ins and out of every technology?
@@malachihabib9068 thats what they’re paid for??? And youtube views aren’t exactly as complicated as the discord client. You really are underestimating devs and software engineers. Next time do the tiniest bit of research into something before piping up mate.
@@malachihabib9068youtube video plays, view gets added. How is that too complicated to you?
This seems like an unintentional loophole exploit from Discord. Unfortunate for Mr Beast, but it brings in an interesting point about how views on CZcams can be artificially inflated. There should be a threshold for repetitive views from the same user on a single video.
I’m certain there already is, and I believe it was 50? No idea, but I remember reading about it a long time back
There already is a stop in place for watching your own video.
There is a limit of 5 view per day per account I believe? Not sure about the hard limit.
the daily limit is 4 for regular accounts, 10 for those with id verification
The best jokes are always the unintended ones.
This one and the Volkswagen to Voltswagen saying this is not a joke then getting sued for it
yet another 2hu lurking around
I wrote the music in this Discord video.
To think a track I wrote in 30 mins is now one of the most viewed on youtube is INSANE.
Nice job, it sounds like music to me. Which I think we can all appreciate
has this affected your career? ru getting more streams/views for ur music now or did this not change anything?
@@certified_nooberz no it hasn’t really changed much. The CZcams channel might get some more viewers which would be awesome for a production music library!
it now has 1.4 billion views btw. it's been 23 hours till release. holy shit
The best April Fools joke was when Dan Harmon tweeted that Rick & Morty Season 3 was premiering on Adult Swim that day.
Then Rick & Morty Season 3 actually premiered on Adult Swim that day.
I think your enjoyment of April Fool's day depends completely on the people whose jokes you're exposed to. Everyone I've interacted with today made great jokes
Same, exactly
Seeing my entire sub feed flooded with videos I won't watch wasn't enjoyable.
I already hate how my sub feed only shows me 6-10 of my 60+ subscriptions.
As for in person, we don't do that shit. We are adults.
I just like the free creative content u get that isn’t trying to farm
@@FeedMeSaltI got a whopping 0 because none of the creators I watch make April Fools videos, sounds like you need to change your subscriptions
@jaskaranbajwa8443 tbh, I also didn't see many April fools vids, but in my case, that was bad, cause I was seriously searching all day for them, I love that part of April fools, just getting trolled by all my subscriptions, but sadly, it didn't really happen this time
My buddy was so stoked about this... showed me it. Got all the lootboxes and all he has to show for it is a Clown frame for his profile picture.
Dude, I didn't even register what this was when it popped up yesterday, let alone that it was an April Fools joke. Discord's self-advertising with nitro and shopping have efficiently conditioned me to automatically dismiss their popups without even thinking lol
I love that the Dev is just confused. 🤣
As far as i know embedded youtube videos on other sites aren't supposed to count for views anymore. So it's understandable that the discord devs were confused. It's litteraly not supposed to be able to give them views on the video.
0:50 Lud really made a whole mogul mail just to call out Lilypichu huh?
you mean Softi?
0:50 This is legitimately the worst.
Hard to say if it's just because I was a young bright-eyed kid then but I remember liking April's fools day a lot up until around high school.
I feel like the fun parts of it are irl pranks (changing the time on a clock, a teacher having a gag pop quiz, so on), and it's really the social media age that has sucked the fun out of it.
Sad seeing all these people mistaking this guy for Ludwig. Smh.
for the record, based on the video size at the vp9 encoded 1080p (some views will be lower so keep that in mind) at 1.4 Billion views as of now, it used about 4.3 petabytes of data. this doesn't include audio, or the various extra bandwidth used by youtube's extra features, and google's tracking stuff.
so it's likely the number would be closer to 5 petabytes of data, in a day, or nearly 57 Gigabytes per second, half a terabit per second, for an entire day.
obviously, there is a lot of caching and other neat stuff in this chain, so it wouldn't be anywhere close to that amount in reality, but the "theoretical bandwidth" does illustrate that this wouldn't be a trivial task, even at the scale of youtube
Speaking of April fools day.. do you maybe want to do a video about the marriage-instagram post that broke the internet, because it was posted on April 1st?
Shayne and Courtney from Smosh
Luh calm 1am upload
ludwig casually getting the one drop i never got
Ludwig: has fancy microphone stand.
Also Ludwig: holds microphone.
Although the video was played hundreds of millions of times, the bandwidth part is a little misleading because you probably wouldn't need to redownload it every play.
Yeah, anyone looping the video would only download it once and then it would just pull it from cache. Actually since the video was viewed so many times in a short timespan I'm guessing a lot of the downloads were pulled from isp caches making it even less expensive to CZcams.
@@boop exactly :) just learned about all this stuff my last internship
its somewhat poetic

cant type any more than like
8 words per message
hate that shit lol
I realized a few months ago that people probably got in the habit of doing that from games with character limits for messages.
@@cactusjack1527 HOLY FUCK YOIRE RIGHY
on April the first, i saw a post about how an actor in a show i liked had died in a motorcycle accident, and i thought to myself "that's a really insensitive April fools joke, that's not ok" and it turns out they weren't kidding 💀
Embedded videos only show ads if the original video was monetized, which I'd be surprised by. Because otherwise people would've been spammed by ads and I'm sure someone would have complained about that, but also you'd think about this beforehand how horrible this would be as experience. The data transfer is definitely something, but after sending the video once, the rest of the loops do not require to be downloaded again (else Shorts would insanely expensive), the only thing transmitted is information about when it was stopped etc.
I actually like it so much that you gather the right infromation befor the video, so you can do it with almost no cuts, it looks so clean
Since it's looped, it likely wasn't actually served 600m times. most of it was just pulled from local caches.
Damn, Discord pulled a fextralife. Not exactly viewbotting, embedded viewers...
Depending on CZcams’s optimization this may not have been as bad as it seems for them. 18 seconds is short enough that the entire video can get loaded into a buffer and if they’re looping it VIA CZcams’s API I would HOPE that buffer doesn’t get refreshed every loop. Essentially that would mean they only had to pay to load the video for each actual person that watched it rather than the total number of views, which is likely drastically less than 600,000,000 people
This reminds me of how Opera GX viewbotted the debut stream of their VTuber Aura by including her stream in the new tab page of Opera GX, so a "new" viewer was added to the OperaGX Twitch channel whenever a new tab was opened.
It has 1.4B views now . . . at this rate it'll be the most viewed ever
almost
"Country music bangs"
My respect for lud has plummeted
I just hate how so much of it just doesn't mention it's an April Fool's joke. Some stuff is obvious, some stuff is more subtle that it could be real, and some stuff just unfortunately ended up being released/announced/whatever on what ends up being April 1st.
The whole situation with Discord is hilarious to think about
discord pulling out the fextralife strats
It’s now 1.4 billion views. That’s a nice chunk of humanity
the lootbox event also gives you a limited profile decoration when you get all nine items
4:50 FISH!
I wish that the minecraft potatoe update wasnt an april fools joke.
wow this entire video is so good. i watched all 6 minutes and 32 seconds of it. wow so good mogul mail you did it again.
My birthday being 4/1 is honestly the only reason I actually make sure I'm off on my birthday. I'm not dealing with the same jokes I've heard every single year.

It's so rare to have an actually good video on April Fools.
Lud saying he hates April Fools gives "im not like the other guys" energy
almost all april fools pranks totally suck
Haven't seen your comments in months
Not really. The gag of lying about something popular just got really boring over the years. 90% of April fool's jokes are either edgy, lame or cringe. Seeing posts claiming Sony is making another Tobey Maguire spiderman movie got boring 7 years ago
Company’s spending more money on April fools day then they do for the whole year.
The best thing about april fools to me is the video game april fools updates. They're so much fun usually.

In Poland, we call it Szmigus Dingus, basically, everyone just splashes everyone with water. Some people just spill water bottles on others, or spray them with hoses. But I've once been thrown into a hot tub when I was younger.

in india, not exactly on 1st april but around the same time (end march to early april usually, the actual day changes every year), people celebrate this festival called holi in which they play with water just like you mentioned, and also colors!

Wait, I'm confused. What does that mean?
@@ShenobiYT he got the people wrong, Lily just made a joke post which sounded like she broke up but when you read the entire thing it just said that her and michael are together, I think he meant to say Imsofti, who said she broke up with It'stimmy, some esports player
In Germany we made it, at least I hope, we made the 1. April to the day weed was legalized xD

Project Mogul (sometimes referred to as Operation Mogul) was a top secret project by the US Army Air Forces involving microphones flown on high-altitude balloons, whose primary purpose was long-distance detection of sound waves generated by Soviet atomic bomb tests. The project was carried out from 1947 until early 1949.
craziest thing about this is that lud made a video at 5am to cover this very very important topic
I totally agree. April Fools is just a waste of time, I don’t want my feeds flooded with videos I’m not going to touch, or weird texts from friends that I’m not going to bother responding to. The only positive we get every year is a cool Minecraft update and even those haven’t been that good since 2020.

It's now at 1.4 fucking *billion* views in 22 hours😭😭😭
I love April fool's on yt. It's one of the longest lasting traditions on the site, it gives creators a chance to be cheeky with their audience, and it's overall a bit of clean fun.
Glad Mogul Mail gave his opinion on this, that Ludwig guy could never.
the example video was a short, a 20 second short vs a 20 second video has different RPMs, So if youtube actually pays out for the amount of views they got they'll be raking it in
the video doesnt have ads enabled
bro it's now 1 billion views 💀
GIVE ME THE CLARK HIGHLIGHTS 😂😂

Ah, ye foul, treacherous scallywag! If I were to count the myriad of ways in which ye have plagued me existence, it'd take longer than the entire saga of Beowulf, and that's sayin' somethin'! Ye betrayed me kin, plundered me village, and made me life more miserable than a sheep lost in a peat bog. I'd rather sup with a rabid dragon than share one more breath of air with a scoundrel like ye! Ye've brought more havoc upon me clan than a horde of berserkers on a mead-fueled rampage, and that's no small feat, I'll tell ya. Ye're the type of villain that even Odin himself would shake his head at, cursin' the day you set foot upon this cursed land. If revenge were a haggis, ye'd be the moldiest, most inedible piece of tripe in the whole of the Highlands! And let me tell ye, that's sayin' quite a lot, for I've tasted haggis that's turned me gut less than your treacherous ways, ye rapscallion! So mark me words, for I swear by me kilt and the ghost of William Wallace, I'll see ye vanquished and cursed to a fate worse than wearin' a kilt in a snowstorm, ye dastardly knave!

Embedded videos don't show ads, they probably didn't make much adsense
Video went from 1.4 billion views to 3 million views in 2 days. Can't believe so many people unwatched it.
honestly, I don’t think we should actually count that for the real record
i honestly didn't know they had a video. i just did their little game and got a clown avatar frame
Wouldn’t shock me if in the future CZcams changes the partnership payout system. To only count for views on the official platforms and not third party ones.
that redballs mic yo got there is fire
the problem with April Fool's Day currently is that people use the opportunity to try to be funny rather than realizing that it's just a licence to be annoying. the true joy of the day is the schadenfreude of watching people get mad about something as trivial as an April Fool's prank.
