TIL that Baby Shark is the most-viewed Youtube video of ALL TIME, coming in at over 16 billion views! It's estimated that they have pulled in $22 million from ads alone lol. With merch & other deals, they are estimated to have made ~$400 million from that 90-second video.

My nephews account for half of that lol

It went worldwide!

During 2019 protests in Lebanon, demonstrators surrounded a car in Beirut and, upon realizing the 15-month-old child inside was scared by the noise, spontaneously sang "Baby Shark" to calm him. The heartwarming scene, featuring dancing and singing from protesters, quickly went viral, turning the song into a symbol of joy and unity.

Crazy how HDDs just keep getting bigger. I remember reading many years ago that they were reaching the limits of how dense they can make them, but they just keep finding new ways to improve on it.
