"Butter" has become the fastest music video in YouTube history to hit over 30 MILLION views, 2 hours & 20 minutes after official release!

y'all, stop with youtube records. youtube will filter views; wait for the official confirmation

200M views we are coming

Okay, joking that won't happen. But I hope that we break Dynamites record.

If youtube won't be a snake...

People got into this habit of claiming records early for this exact reason, although I think the practice might have outlived its usefulness. Originally, ARMY would claim records early because media would pick up on that and report the number that ARMY gave. Then if/when YouTube deleted views and provided a lower number, that number wouldn't gain much traction in the media because the media was already reporting the higher number. So it was done for a strategic reason a couple years ago but I don't think it's really necessary or useful at this point.

It’s just for fun. BTS already has the record (Dynamite) so I don’t see the problem

my hope for 200M is increasing gradually

but youtube can cut views anytime

all fans do it, not only army; they do it because they are proud of their achievements.

and yes, it's useless now, youtube will confirm the views anyway, it's bts :)

I know. I was just giving some history about ARMY specifically. I'm a Twitter ARMY and I was there when we decided to do it so I was just explaining why the practice started because we used to be strict on Twitter about waiting for official confirmation.
