I Love YTtalk
So i received an email from RPM which said :
"Over the course of the next few weeks, YouTube is changing the way they calculate the total views for your channel. Soon the total view count for your channel will only reflect the amount of views of your current PUBLIC videos. In other words, over the next few weeks, view counts of deleted videos will be removed from your total view count. Once that is completed, view counts of private and unlisted videos will also be removed from your total channel view count as well. If you want your channel to reflect those views, then you need to make those videos public."

If you dont want to read all of that, it basically says that, from now on, your total video views will on be the total views of the videos that are PUBLIC, meaning that if you deleted a video or have it set as unlisted, those views will be removed from your total video views.

What impact do you think this will have on your channel and others?
Is this a good or a bad idea?
 
They already started deleting views that you got from deleted videos And the private and unlisted videos don't really affect me so I'm all for it.

Edit: Where did that ? come from. :p
 
RPM is late on this one lol They announced the change on Jan 16

I think it's good, because I'm ALWAYS seeing channels with like 10k views or more and you can't even see any of their videos. So why even have the views there.
 
It makes perfect sense and happened a little while ago. Not really news. What good is allowing channels to retain views of deleted or private videos?
