Everything I do records views

[umbysworld]

It used to be that I could go to the edit screen to get the url or add/remove tags or whatever and it wouldn't record a view. I mean, it shouldn't since the video doesn't play, right?. But now it records a view every time. My latest video has like zero views but it says it has 6 because it records a view every time I try to do something. It's so annoying!

I wouldn't worry about it. Either YouTube will clear it up or...well, it's not like you're going in 5,000 times or anything. If I could, I'd probably do that on bad days when I think nobody is watching, LOL!

Yeah I have that problem too! I just ended up not clicking on my videos at all once they're uploaded since I can usually do everything I need to from the Creator Studio.

That's what I'm doing, though. I'm not actually watching my videos. I'm using the creator studio and it's still acting like I viewed them. It's lying to everyone, lol.

What??? That's super weird.

You won't be going in there so many times anyways and YouTube would probably clear it up! No worries

YouTube corrects it. It's no problem and why would an extra view be so bad？

It may add views when the video loads for annotations/cards/subtitles? I find it annoying too but as others said, it gets corrected. Less than a day after upload I always see some views subtracted and I guess those were my own views.

This has been happening to me too, except I didn't realize it at first. But then I'd see my new videos decrease 10-20 views the next day, which was confusing and super disappointing. Until I realized every time I edited it (even in creator studio) it counted as a view on the first day.

So yeah, I wish it didn't happen in the first place, but youtube will adjust it.

I have not noticed this happen to me, as people are saying youtube will eventually remove those views so no need to worry
