like the way they casually put up quantum flux tubes as the reason for this.

i can imagine the conversation -

'how does it work?'
'quantum flux tubes'

youtube has a system for popular/viral videos where they lockout the number of views at around the 300-330 range for the first day or so. not sure why, my guess is some sort of spam prevention or something
