YouTube as measure of success

Latest comment: 12 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I edited this comment:- "The songs reception itself became one of Minogue's least successful singles to date, only scoring just over 20,000 views on Youtube."

This has a number of problems:-

The use of the word "reception" implies critical response around the time of release, when most people hadn't even heard of the Internet, and YouTube was well over a decade away!
Using one upload as an example- official or not- doesn't account for all the other uploads
Doesn't take into account the time it was uploaded
The "20,000" figure will inevitably date
Synthesising the previous three points into a measure of popularity is bordering on backdoor OR anyway.

In short, it's been removed. Ubcule (talk) 21:11, 20 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
