This Video Title Changes With Every Views
How this even Possible? I am inviting all the NEXT level Coder please Shed some light on it why only He Can Do it but no One Else..
 
No need to be a next level coder for that. YouTube probably has some sort of API to update video titles.

Would take a decent developer about 10-15 minutes to make such thing.
 
I only watched 2 minutes but does he not explaining during the video?
 
This is nothing special. There are 2 main routes the way you want to do it:
1. Using youtube official API
Basically youtube give you some interface to get the detail of a video through an HTTP endpoint, easily callable. However, they have a credit system and will prevent spamming. Note that old accounts credit are much larger compared to newly made accounts.

2. Using unofficial API
Literally just visit the page with python requests/curl and parse the view count using regex or something similar. The downside is that the update is not that frequent, during my test it gets update every 1-2 minute or so for view details.

Why people don't do it -> actually some people already did something similar, but since it isn't new and not recommended by youtube, the cost of keeping the count updated is just not worth it.

A lot of youtubers are already doing it. Nothing's new.

If he did there would been loads of Videos self Changing Tile on YT but there are None.
 
Dude the trick is so simple, he wrote a code to check after 5 minutes how many views his video got, then .. edit the title with that code with the same number of views.

Simple as that

Thanks for the Info. Would you name one of them please? I would fancy looking at it.
 
Very easy to do. Its all API based, get the the latest view count, update title. Not writing any code in YouTube Just using public APIs, there is similar ones with thumbnail being updated with the latest or top comment. A bit of python code with YouTube API or selenium. Would take any decent coder half an hour maybe.

That's more like it. I got thanks for the Deep Dive info Dude.
 
As everyone has already mentioned, it's nothing special - you get the view count every X min (either through API or by scraping the source code) and then update the title.
