How does my private, scheduled video already have 5 views?

Or the Masons! You just need to look for all the signs.

true what was I thinking

Frankie is right, it happens to me when I have videos scheduled but view it to make sure everything is correct, it counts as a view, every time the video is watched or the page is reset it counts as a view up until 301 views.

It's the ducks. They are evil.

Or you watched them.

well I know I didn't because I strictly avoid clinking any link that leads to the view page of my videos
which only means one thing...

If you watch it from different devices, it will bump the count. Computer, iPad, cellphone, and as Frankie mentioned, which I suspected, if you add annotations, that will be another view.

i'm definitely going to have to test this theory out next time I schedule a video.[DOUBLEPOST=1374259051][/DOUBLEPOST]

There's one person who always comments on my scheduled videos, I think he's using some sort of Youtube loophole that has to do with adding to playlists. It pisses me off because he comments before me, BEFORE THE VIDEO IS OUT >:C

it's definitely really annoying!

You have answered your own question. When you watch it in the annotations screen, or anywhere at all, it adds a view

I unintentionally watch my own videos soooo many times...

I had an uploaded private video yesterday and it also had 5 views. I did not watch it cause I added annotations afterwards.
