The counter has been stuck at 108,403 for multiple days. Someone doesn't want this video to get labelled as "viral". Why? See for yourself! SHARE THIS VIDEO. No oppression, no suppression! Like this comment so it stays at the top so other people can be warned about the views being blocked!

Strange how the view counter seems stuck at 108.403 for two days now. Even I watched the video like 10 times since then.

So now I'm scraping the view counts.
