Bugged video views?

No idea, mine just told me on video manager this video has over 500 views, and if I click on it, it said it was only about 54.

hopefully mine goes back down because I don't want to deal with all of this

Just looked at your SocialBlade, the high views are showing up on there too. Your views haven't been audited which is what usually happens when a video gets a massive number of views in one go (which shows up as zero views on SB). go into your analytics and ensure that you haven't been featured somewhere. You should be able to get your traffic sources from there. If it's all from mobile devices then its likely bots. Also check viewer retention figures too.

It doesn't make sense though. If you look at Panda's socialblade, the views have been steady so far, so to rocket like that so suddenly either means a) he got featured somewhere, but that person didn't tell him or b) he's been botted. Also the chances are, he'd have gained a small mass of subs in one go too.

The highest is from mobile devices, but it's only saying 130, not 500.

Viewer retention figures say my mario party part 1 is beating part 2, part 2 is in second place with an average view duration of 3:15
 
Alright guys, apparently there is a problem with youtube at the moment, if someone watches a video from a mobile, the view count can mess up (the 400 extra views)
and all I know is that they are working on it :P
