Has anyone else received a like before the video has been made public ?

Three times now over the life of my channel I have had the situation where a like has appeared immediately after the video has finished processing, and has not yet gone public.

I can only assume that someone at YT must view processing content on some sort of a random or selective basis.

In each case they have been popular videos.

Maybe I have a fan in YT ??????

I think you accidentaly clicked like on your own video

No way.

YouTube isn't able to watch trillions of videos during processing. You probably had set your video into private mode so some private users hit that like button.

Along the same idea. But not private. Maybe the video is set to unlisted and was put on a playlist before officially publishing it? Those who saw the video through the playlist maybe liked it?

I have a few videos I set to unlisted and people can access it through the playlist its in. Even though its nowhere to be found on my channel other than the playlist.

Of course, that's it. That's what is happening, as I always have them set as unlisted while uploading.

Good thinking.

Thank you for that. I can now put that issue aside.

Cheers Rob

Never happened to me before that's a bit strange. I've had more likes than views tho lmao.
