Luis Fonsi - Despacito ft. Daddy Yankee

Despacito by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee dropped in 2017, and it just rolled past 9 billion views, the whole comment section woke up not to hear the song but to watch the number climb

forever 47 subs: 9 billion, i refreshed it three times, its actually real

on loop rn: be honest none of us pressed play

on loop rn: we came to look at the number and leave

forever 47 subs hitting refresh one more time just to be sure

8th grade w questions: wait so everyone just comes here to check views??

forever 47 subs: meanwhile my whole channel just crawled to 47

8th grade w questions: wait is 9 billion a lot

someone in the room does the math out loud and the whole chat freezes, the views are bigger than the number of people on Earth

8th grade w questions: hold on there are like 8 billion people alive

8th grade w questions: how are there 9 billion views then

8th grade w questions reading his own message back twice

forever 47 subs: fine, half the views are replays and half are aliens, solved

3am my time typing a correction then deleting it

8th grade w questions: SEE i was basically right

forever 47 subs: my channel will be dust and despacito will still be counting

forever 47 subs: kid youve been defending this song for ten minutes not knowing it

8th grade w questions: i defend on vibes not lyrics

comments r my calendar: put that on the flag

forever 47 subs finally cracking and laughing at his own screen

back from 18 months: bold of us to plan the sun exploding around a 2017 track

someone points out the comments are fresh, posted hours ago on a song this old, and the chat realizes the place never actually closed

comments r my calendar: look the top comments are from like two hours ago

comments r my calendar: this comment section is more alive than my group chat

back from 18 months: wait how is it still going after nine years

comments r my calendar: nobody knows, it just refuses to die

on loop rn: i read the comments to remember what year it is honestly

on loop rn scrolling slowly through the newest replies

forever 47 subs: my channel gets one comment a season and its a bot

8th grade w questions: whats a group chat that dies

comments r my calendar pointing at a comment timestamped minutes ago

3am my time: the regulars never left, they just moved into the replies

forever 47 subs: i want to be a regular somewhere that isnt my own dead channel

on loop rn: youre a regular here now, dues are one replay

8th grade w questions: i can pay that, im already looping it

8th grade w questions nodding at his own screen

comments r my calendar: welcome to the neighborhood, mind the aliens

the chat spots the oldest trick in the section, people leaving a comment just so a stray like years later will drag them back to the song

on loop rn: someone wrote leave this comment so a like reminds me later

on loop rn: thats me setting a trap for future me

3am my time: i did that once and got the notification four years later

3am my time: cried a little at 3am, very normal

3am my time grinning at the memory on screen

forever 47 subs: meanwhile no like has ever found MY comment

comments r my calendar: theres 3 million comments jaemin, yours is out there somewhere

8th grade w questions: wait can you even find your own comment again

back from 18 months: no, its gone, thats the tragic part

on loop rn: i found mine once, it was the third from the top

forever 47 subs: thats not lost thats just famous

on loop rn shrugging at the keyboard

8th grade w questions: how did you find him that fast

comments r my calendar: i live here remember, i know every doorstep

3am my time: if you find my comment in the millions have a good day forever

8th grade w questions scrolling up fast trying to find his own

back from 18 months: you too, whoever you are, wherever you sank

the hellos start rolling in from everywhere at once, one country after another, and the room turns into a map

3am my time: hi from my side of the planet, whos else is up

3am my time: i see Senegal, Laos, Puerto Rico, everyone showed

back from 18 months: someone just said hi from Mozambique at this hour

comments r my calendar waving at the screen at the new arrivals

forever 47 subs: even the whole world outnumbers my subscriber count

on loop rn: the Spanish comments down here are a different party entirely

8th grade w questions: wait what are they all saying

3am my time: half of them are like it in spanish so its ours

3am my time: and honestly they have a point, it is their song

back from 18 months: someone tried to say only one country is here and got buried

comments r my calendar: as they should, the whole map is logged in

8th grade w questions: so the martians pick a country too or

forever 47 subs: hajun please let the aliens go

forever 47 subs dragging a hand down his face

on loop rn: no let him cook, mars is clearly team spanish

3am my time: greetings from Mars then, its 3am there too probably

comments r my calendar: biggest room on earth and off it apparently

8th grade w questions typing hi back to every country he can see

back from 18 months: i left one country and came back to all of them

someone admits the song drags them straight back years, and for a second the jokes drop and the room gets quiet

back from 18 months: man this just threw me back to 2017 completely

back from 18 months: i heard it in the back of my parents car on a trip

comments r my calendar: oh that hit, i was in school when this came out

on loop rn: everybody had their own wrong lyrics for it

on loop rn sitting back from the keyboard for a second

3am my time: i was home when this dropped, now im an ocean away

forever 47 subs: 2017 me thought id have a real channel by now

forever 47 subs: 2017 me was an idiot but he had hope

8th grade w questions: guys in 2017 i was in like third grade

back from 18 months: hajun why would you say that to us

comments r my calendar: he really just aged the whole room in one line

3am my time laughing and wiping her eyes at once

on loop rn: one comment said dont worry ill be old in 50 years but at least i was here

on loop rn: and that one got me not gonna lie

back from 18 months: at least this counter remembers us even if nobody else does

forever 47 subs staring at the paused screen a beat too long

8th grade w questions: ok this got heavy, anyway whats the song even about

comments r my calendar: and hes back, moment over everyone

for the first time all night someone actually watches the video, and notices the despacito is not slow at all

8th grade w questions: ok i finally hit play and something is off

8th grade w questions: he says despacito but this part is NOT slow

forever 47 subs: oh the spanish comments have been laughing about that for years

on loop rn: despacito means slowly and then bro speeds up immediately

on loop rn dragging the bar back to watch it again

3am my time: one comment down there is like he said slowly and then PIMBA

back from 18 months: so the whole title is a lie and we made it the planet anthem

comments r my calendar: 9 billion views for a song that fibs in the first word

8th grade w questions: wait so it was never actually slow

forever 47 subs: hajun it has been fast the entire nine years

8th grade w questions: why did nobody tell me sooner

8th grade w questions mouth open at the screen

on loop rn: we were all too busy watching the counter to notice the song

3am my time: the martians definitely noticed though

back from 18 months: there it is, i missed the aliens weirdly

comments r my calendar: slowly my beloved, absolutely sprinting

forever 47 subs shaking his head at the screen

8th grade w questions: im gonna go defend this song some more knowing nothing

the novelty wears off and the room drifts back to the one thing it came for, the counter, and starts waiting on the next big number

on loop rn: ok be real we came for the number, we stay for the number

forever 47 subs: 9 billion down, im here till 10

3am my time: 10 billion at 3am my time, ill bring the whole map

comments r my calendar pinning the tab so it stays open

8th grade w questions: ill save the martians a seat

back from 18 months: everything changed but this counter waited for me, weird comfort

forever 47 subs: if my channel ever hits 10 of anything tell despacito i said hi

comments r my calendar: ill file it with the neighbors, see you at 10 billion

on loop rn: leaving a comment so a like drags me back for round two

3am my time waving goodnight at the screen

8th grade w questions: pasito a pasito im getting there too

back from 18 months: he learned one line, growth

forever 47 subs refreshing the counter one last time before closing

comments r my calendar: same time next billion everyone

the video keeps playing to nobody as the six of them log off one by one, the counter still ticking up toward 10 billion with the tab left open
