Disproportionate view counts...

[MCParradox]

I don't know if anyone else has had this, but recently some strange things have happened. I'm only a small channel at the moment, with 20 subs, and my videos tend to get between 5 and 30 views each at the moment. However, two of my videos now have shot past 100 views (pretty high for me XD), one in just a few days, and I have no idea where the views are coming from... I've tried searching for things to do with those games, but I can't find it in the search results, so I have no idea where people have found them!

check your playback locations and traffic sources. That's where you can see what they searched for, where videos were embedded, etc.

Check the sources, but it might be the tags? Tags are still a mystery to me, and some of my videos rank way higher, even if their tags are pretty much of the same format. One of my videos has gotten 6.5k views, and I have no idea why, because the tags are of same type, and the video isn't even one of my best xD

View count still makes no sense to me, don't think it's especially accurate. My views dropped about 100 one day and I found that every single mobile view had disappeared for some reason. Also the number on my channel page and the one on my analytics page are both very different which makes no sense to me!

I have had similar experiences, I have 280ish subs but usually get less than 100 views per vid, yet a couple are into the thousands
