Video manager rounded view counts

[MaineJunker]

I recently noticed in my Video Manager youtube is rounding the view counts down to the nearest thousand. For example a video that has 1983 views simply says "1k." That is useless information, I have to click into my channel to see actual figures. Thanks youtube, I still love you.

Could you clarify this for me? I know that in the video-manager it rounds the views down to the nearest 1k, but where can you see the actual number?

On the actual video page. I hate it. It is really stupid.

And if you view your channel page it shows actual numbers.

Thanks, that was the most confusing part for me. Luckily I don't have to worry, my best video has just over 500 views now, I heard it only kicks in when a video actually goes over 1000 views...

Agreed! This is a really terrible update they've rolled out. I wonder if it's a sign of them getting ready to fully roll out the new layout (which is dreadful!!)

 

[SuddenlyNinja]

That hasn't been rolled out fully yet? It's been two weeks now and the only way I could get into my own account is manually entering the URL in my browser... If they're going to be a business they better act like one!

YouTube's math is weird, it should go from 1983 to 2k, not back to 1k.

Either way, it's a dreadful way to display a statistic lol
