It’s because that’s how TikTok counts theirs so they don’t want people saying they get more viewer volume on TikTok.

Does tiktok count views that way? One frame = 1 view? If so, i don’t see the issue with youtube matching how that metric is counted, to give people a more accurate comparison from one platform to another

It’s going to generate them a ton of ad revenue. Hopefully it helps creators too.

Pretty soon they’re going to start using precognition. If you’re going to view the video in the future they’ll count it today

They've seen that it worked with Twitter so they're copying it.

Hi :
You think YouTube tracks the speed people press the skip add button? I would imagine that being a metric YouTube should worry about…

This was clearly what Elon did with Twitter instantly. The fact the FCC hasn’t mandated some metric across the industry, like 25% of a video watched to qualify as a view, maddening.
