YouTube has officially changed how views are counted, and people are not happy about it. Before this update, YouTube required someone to watch a video for a certain number of seconds before it counted as a view. But now, YouTube counts a view the moment the first frame of a video is seen, which is a huge change to how YouTube view counts have always worked. This is causing a lot of frustration because it means that view counts are now inflated, since someone doesn't even have to actually watch your video for it to count. This update has fully rolled out across the platform now too, and many channels have noticed their views are now up. So why did YouTube change how views are counted? What is the new YouTube view count update? Why are people mad about the new YouTube view system? How does YouTube count views now? What is the new YouTube view count update? Find out here in this video, where we go over everything that has changed with YouTube views...
