So, here's something confusing that happened over night.

I uploaded The Walking Dead: Michonne mini-series onto my channel yesterday around the afternoon, and before I went to bed, I checked how many views it had. Somewhere around 50 which is great considering I didn't really advertise it.

However, I wake up this morning to see how many views the same video has and it dropped down to 15.

I'm not sure what happened or why it happened. Can anyone possibly answer?

Here's a screenshot of a page I haven't refreshed:


And a screenshot of when I just refreshed:


I literally lost a few in the last 3 minutes.

Real Time Analytic says I have well over 50 views that's registered properly:

Weird... Im not sure, maybe someone came on your channel and refreshed a bunch of times and youtube corrected it?
Very strange though for that to happen the day after uploading...
So i have no idea...

Yea, so I was reading on the Youtube Help Forums, and apparently it happens, because the system doesn't update / reads some of the views as fake, but I doubt over 80 views on that one video would be fake. None of my other videos were hit, too.

Youtube is experiencing view bugs, the other day the youtuber I subscribe to says only 1 video view. But we all know she got more than that..after a day it shows her true view.

It's a bit derpy when the video is first released as the real views are now corrected earlier then before. It used to be that Youtube would just include all views including fakes ones up to 301 and then negate the fake views as more real views came in. Also might just be a bit buggy at the moment, never know with youtube :D
