yeah just to me, if you click then click off it should still count as 100 for the first second. ah well, youtube is weird at how it measures things
Yeah and just to add to this, none of my videos have ads on them and some of them still get less than 100% at the 0 second mark! So it does seem like it's people that just click on the video and then leave immediately. But I wonder, if I'm refreshing my own video (I often do to check the view count) and then I close that video page tab after checking, does that count as a 0 second view?
EDIT: What happens on the graph if
someone is forwarding to another part of your video? I'm aware that if lot of people are forwarding one specific part there will be a little dip on the graph with it then rising back up, but say one person forwards a part on the video to another part, would the %drop on the graph show they left the video at the time they started forwarding only for them to reappear later on the graph and increase the % a little? And it would be the opposite for rewinding with the % showing a drop from there onwards (unless they do go back and watch it) but increasing for an earlier part in the video that the person rewinded to that maybe they didn't see before?
