(I am new to this site and this is my first ever post, so hopefully, I put this question in the right section). Hi, if one person wanted to not be very nice and repeatedly click on someone's videos without watching them multiple times, how impactful would that be? Would it lower the rank of the video, simply because of this one person doing that? I am a new youtuber and know that video count and retention time are important. Would this especially be bad for a new youtuber? Thank you in advance.
 
Hiya!

I think for a view to count, the viewer has to watch 60% of the video or somewhere around that, youtube has a way to stop people from clicking their own videos to bump up the views.

I think that is how it works anyway, not entirely sure...​
 
YT would probably start ignoring the "views" once it realised they were all coming from the same account and all for just a few seconds.
 
That's really good to hear. Thank you so much. I had a jerky friend doing this to me and was worried it would lower my video ranking. I feel a lot better now.
