“Soon, a YouTube auditor will come around and expose Psy as having created numerous bots to generate YouTube views, tricking everyone into thinking he was important by exploiting the excessive importance we place on web analytics.

Wonderful Pistachios will join the class action lawsuit against him to recoup the money they wasted on him during the Super Bowl. I’ll probably never have a pistachio again.”
