ABSTRACT
Online social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google+, etc., are part of people's daily life now. Social networks are merged as a platform since they are able to bring people from varied backgrounds and common interests to the same place. YouTube has gained much fame due to its user-friendly policy. It does not charge the users for uploading any content; in fact, it pays them if the content is popular. As far as a prediction of view count is concerned, there are several factors that can affect the number of views gathered by a video. In YouTube, viewers generally grow in spurts that are dependent on both environment and people's influence. However, one can often observe a constant rate of growth. The fact that the population is fixed, is often a reasonable approximation when the evolution of the popularity of content increases quickly and then dies out within a short span of time.
