I have noticed the last couple videos I have uploaded that for the first maybe 6 hours I have more likes then I do views. Generally when I first upload my friends watch and like the video. Lets say 5 friends watch the video then like it. I will look and I have 2 views and 5 likes...Not to mention my subscribers who are watching it aren't adding to the views. I check back later and it has more views but I can't be sure if it is a delay or if YouTube isn't counting all my views. Either way I don't understand why this is, is anyone else having the same problem? Thanks. Also if you want to see it in action you might be able to see it on my latest video on my channel depending on when you read this...
 
It's just a glitch on YouTube's side, it fixes itself eventually. It happens a lot with a lot of popular YouTuber's I've noticed.
 
As the able poster said, a glitch.
Also I've noticed that sometimes when it look in your video manager, it will show a different number of views then the actual video page shows. I don't think they stay perfectly in sync - its more like the video manager page updates on set schedules throughout the day......

yeah ratings arent a bad thing but no stats should be higher than your views that just doesnt make sense lol
 
The views have been lagging bad this week. They must be verifying every view because of that mobile overcounting that happened
 
Yeah, just like the glitch where if you get over a certain amount of views, it freezes them (hence why so many big-time Youtubers have like 301 views for like 6 hours, than 100,000 one hour later). Views are always off.

Well YouTube freezes popular videos view counts at 300 (I know how that works cause I have some videos that got thousands of views) but this one only has a few so it shouldn't be doing this.

It happens a lot, just on a smaller scale so we don't notice. Views are rarely ever calculated instantly.
