you're still on about this? the video was counted in terms of views, not viewers. even if one person watched the video twice for every other person, that's still 500 million viewers. what's more likely is that you watched the video 4 - 5 times so that's closer to 200 - 250 million viewers on average. that's not even accounting for people who are trying to watch the video over and over and over again, which brings to the total to much, much less than 200 million viewers.
