The programmers have come up with a small self-ironic gag for the most-watched Internet video of all times: If you look at the Gangnam-Style video of Psy and move with the mouse pointer over the calls, The numbers grow continuously and then fall again until they reach the minus range.
Google Manager Nikesh Arora revealed last year that Gangnam-style alone has invested more than eight million US dollars in advertising revenues. Google earns on successful Youtube videos through the advertisements on its Videoportal and passes on some of the revenues to the artists. According to American media, Psy earned about two million US dollars through the Youtube clicks in 2013.
Currently, a slanting music video from China is traded as a Gangnam-Style successor. Within a few days, the chicken video reached 20 million clicks and now stands at almost 11 million calls.
