@pubity: YouTube is changing how it counts views. 👀📱 Beginning August 24, regular videos will register a view the moment playback starts, meaning viewers won’t need to watch for a certain amount of time for it to count publicly. The change could lead to noticeably higher view counts, while YouTube will still use “engaged views” behind the scenes for creator analytics and monetization. #Pubity #YouTube #Tech #SocialMedia
Bring back the dislike counter. I'm tired of sifting through BS videos to find what I need.

Honestly I'm against it, it's kinda of like saying "our retention rate seems low, let's change it to make it look more full".

this is gonna make video views go down in profit and make YouTube look like it's doing much more views and push bots to new engagement types.

What about video previews? Especially on other apps like when you google something and a video shows up as one of the options and starts playing on it own

Against this change. There’s so much AI tripe that I turn off in the first 30 seconds. They don’t deserve a view count for that.
