According to a new interpretation of the Mayan calendars today is just the beginning of a new era. I'd say hitting a billion YouTube views today could count as a new era for the world. One where a billion views is possible, ergo the Mayans were right.

That's not a new interpretation. It just hasn't got the same airtime because it's not as interesting. I heard this interpretation from a Mexican/Mayan 5 years ago. It's happened before in the Mayan calendar too. It just restarts again if I remember correctly.
