Noticed something new with recommended videos

Animation Yey!
I don't know how long this has been here, I've only noticed it recently,
but when you are recommended a video in the related video section, youtube has hidden the view count of that video.

I would say this is good for smaller youtubers, since the view count is now not influencing the viewers choice to click on it. BUT we all know that 90% of the time reccomended for you videos are usually from bigger creators.

Just thought I'd share this info :)
 
I also have noticed this a while ago and think that it's a step into the right direction. It should be all about the video and not about the views.

Yeah I noticed this the other week. Its definately new but I agree this could be good for smaller youtubers as people dont look at it and think "only 300 views, why do I care what this idiot thinks"
 
Never noticed it. It does make a point that thumbnails matter! If a thumbnail is not inviting me to watch than forget about it no matter the view count under it!
 
I actually noticed this as well yesterday. I would say it would be great for us smaller creators but I would also say it is probably a rarity for videos from small channels to appear there. A potentially good step in the right direction, though.
 
I noticed this months ago. Those ones are ones recommended specifically for you and your viewing habits. It will recommend channels you have watched before and stuff like that and it isn't necessarily related to the type of video you are currently watching. The other videos that don't say "recommended for you" are the ones everyone sees there that are actually related to the video you're watching.
