Hello,

From experience, I am now convinced that YouTube happily manipulates its counters.
Some algorithms slow down or even stop the counting for a more or less long period.
I compared the view counts by sharing a YouTube link on Facebook (in unlisted mode to ensure that views would come ONLY from Facebook) and a little later, I did the same kind of video directly embedded on my Facebook wall (so not going through YouTube).
After 24 hours, my YouTube video had 1,520 views, while the video posted on Facebook had over 15,000 views in the same time frame!
For me, there is no doubt about it.
YouTube, which monetizes views, is cheating outrageously.
Facebook, which does not monetize views, seems completely realistic.

Hi,

Yes and no, we can help you.

Yes: We can tell you to be patient until the counter updates.

No: because we're not Google (and thus not YouTube) and we can't do anything more.

A bit of reading on the fact that (sometimes) the viewer can get stuck at a number and then suddenly increases: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2991785?hl=fr

It's been resolved now, right?

Good evening, I have exactly the same problem as you, my counter has been stuck at 104 views for 2 days while I'm getting positive feedback on Facebook where I shared the link to my video. I admit I watch my videos about ten times a day, but it's just because I've noticed that this encourages YouTube to significantly improve the sound and image quality, which became less blurry over time with the views. Did your problem get resolved? If so, what did you do to fix it? And after how long?

As soon as the video reaches about 200 views, YouTube freezes the counter to verify that the views are authentic. It's as simple as that.
