I assumed they were already doing that. They’ve never been forthcoming in regards to what actually counts as a view.
Especially weird if I view videos from my own channel, on my end it seems to tally each time I watch my own videos, which isn’t supposed to happen.
And videos I never chose or clicked on automatically start playing as soon as I open the app or switch from “Me” to “Home.”
Or if one person watches a video multiple times, does youtube count each of those views? Because for YouTubers whose livelihood depends on likes & views & subscribers, YouTube needs to make sure a creator isn’t manipulating the system with bot farms or friends/family/paid losers to repeatedly watch the videos.
Now my brain hurts & I’m grumpy. Bye.
Also accidental hovering seems to count in my history like 50% of the time
Yes that’s exactly what I mean. It’s disingenuous for YouTube to be doing that, I mean in the grand scheme of things it’s a trifling matter, but it’s a bit of fuckery because algorithms & livelihoods are affected by this nonsense.
Turn off auto play. Shit’s annoying anyway.
Yes my autoplay is always turned off. I mean when you’re on the home screen it automatically plays, on mute, and not full-screen, whichever suggested video is oriented in the middle of the screen. This isn’t something that can be opted out of.
You sure? What you describe is the autoplay that I was referring to. Nothing automatically plays anywhere for me, even in the main feed view
