Comment on Baby Shark is the first YouTube video to surpass 10B views

Comments

It’s interesting to see another South Korean company in the creative Youtube space succeed like Gangnam Style. Had no idea Baby Shark was from South Korean company Pinkfong. South Korea is clearly super creative even on Netflix shows like Squid Games.

First time someone linked me to Gangnam Style on Youtube I was completely perplexed and truly suspicious because the view count just looked WRONG -- like it was possibly a look-a-like site with a bullshit viewcount.

It was the first time I ever saw a view count >1B and I remain astonished by this kind of reach.

10B is an entirely different level still.
