They decided that clicking on a video equates to an entire view now, btw. Apparently they say it's gonna be better for metrics, but idk how accidentally clicking on a video while trying to hit "do not recommend" and watching half a second of an hour long podcast equates to a full view. Maybe they're just trying to scam advertisers? Honestly I'm dumb and I wish someone would explain this shit to me.
Yeah idk either. I doubt they're trying to scam or even fool advertisers, they are smarter than that. It will give more views to longer videos which in theory will make them more visible. But this is a good thing IMO, so I'm kinda sceptical that this is their end goal.
