This is where it starts getting a little wonky. I guess it’s possible 308 is some sort of a point of inflection that determines whether a video is actually popular, according to their math. This can happen in a number of ways, but they basically want to comb through cookies and IP addresses to make sure that the video views up to and past this point are valid. Obviously, since video view count is such a huge part of the ranking algorithm on YouTube, they are sensitive to people inflating their views. This is for watching videos ON YouTube.Īlso from my research, I’ve come across a little hitch in the incrementing logic that says somewhere around 300 views (some people say at 308 views), YouTube freezes your view count while it starts sniffing around for view fraud. In as little as 5 seconds (i.e., if you only watch the first 5 seconds of a video), your video count is incremented. YouTube counts videos as they are started. So here are a few things I figured out when learning about it. How do I know this? Well, at least I was confused. There is some confusion out there about how youTube counts video views.
