Current projection (from a linear regression) puts the date of 1B views at about 16th of january. This of course is a rough estimate, and we are probably due to an accelaration in views. Also depends on upload frequency. But could also be close.

@ScipioFabius looks like the projection puts the date at around Apr 29 (but also this guy is already at ~980M views as of the time of writing, so there are only 20M more views to go)

@duck_master Yeah, this date will probably move a little forward yet still, but unless something cataclismic happens, this is basically YES

This resolves as a No if 1b views are reached in 2023 correct?

@Cypc does this resolve yes or no if it already happens in 2023?

@Cypc Correct.
