Deleting, Privatizing or Unlisting videos removes their views.
YouTube is balancing out the view counters. (Basically taking away excess views)
Yes I lost 3000 views about 2 days ago. However I did NOT privatize or unlist any videos.but something youtube did yesterday, cuz my 5-8 friends lost their views
but I don't have any illegitimate views... unless I was botted without knowing it.They are still removing illegitimate views in addition to the new total views policy.
Oh obviously but we don't know what YouTube consider illegitimate. That could include views from yourself (watching your videos), viewing a video and leaving seconds after or visiting a channel and the video auto-plays and you move to Browse videos tab. I know YouTube doesn't consider a +1 view if someone leaves seconds after the video plays any more so that could be included.but I don't have any illegitimate views... unless I was botted without knowing it.
