    What’s nice here is that the upvote to comment ratio is pretty low compared to reddit and other platforms, meaning one upvote here means a lot more than one upvote on reddit.

    Also each post sparks cool and unique discussions so you get more out of reading and participating in the comment section.

    And that’s why I love this place

    The highest level of achievement is missing: Getting only two downvotes on Stackoverflow

      And the highest level of disappointment is finding a 10 year old stack overflow post that is exactly the problem you’re having, but then discover that not only does it not have an answer but you’re the one who asked it 😭

      Has… Has that ever been accomplished??? The elders must know!

      Also not enough information to say this is an issue have you just tried checking your logs?

        Your answer doesn’t solve the issue and is a duplicate. I’ll double downvote you right now

    Getting 10 million likes on YouTube is astronomically more difficult than any of the others

    Edit: For reference, the most liked YouTube video on the platform only has x5 that amount, at 53 million likes and 8.5 billion views.

      Not saying getting 10 mil likes is easy, because it’s not, but that ratio of likes to views is pretty low in your example. Mr beast has 30 mil likes for a video with 150 mil views, for example. (Which, in all fairness, has a much higher ratio than average, but still)

    Hey I’d settle for 10 million likes on YouTube… In views alone thats worth like $100k in ad revenue. But given that likes are typically only 10% of viewership, that means a video liked by 10 million probably has 100 million views. Which is about $1 million in ad revenue for just that video, assuming a low end payout of $0.01 per view.

      That’s not a low end payout per view. Typically it’s a fraction of a cent (USD) per view. Typically ads pay out per 1000 views, and the average of that is $0.38. To make the math easier, we’ll call it $0.50 per 1000 views, or $0.0005 per view. On top of this, YouTube takes their 45% cut, which means you’re looking at more like $0.00025 per view. Of course, that’s the average, and for a larger channel with the right audience you’re more likely to see a CPM (cost per mille, mille being 1000 in French) of a few dollars. Let’s call it $5.00, which would come to a CPM of $0.005, or roughly $0.0025 after YouTube takes their cut. That’s still $25,000 for 10 million views, which is a ton of money, but I think people have a tendency to overinflate how much money comes from Youtube ads.
