Youtube has recently changed policy on video views.

If your video is deleted the views from that video are also gone!

( So if you update an old video and delete the old one )

Multiple clicks from the same IP will also not count.

Also if the video is private or unlisted video views wont count as well.

I myself lost nearly 10k. Some users up to 600k! and a few Million.

Mine are still about the

Mine are still about the same. It says 681,261.

Multiple clicks from the same IP never counted unless you were under 300 views on that video. (Well, the 300 thing started in 2008, I think.)

EDIT: Ah, I see, mine didn't change much because I don't have too many private or unlisted videos. Well, I do (maybe 15-20), but they don't have many views.

Youtube changing trivial things instead of reverting back to their better previous layouts.
As expected.

it's just stupid because if anyone ever wants to update with newer videos then they lose views. So prepare to se a ton of old videos on youtube that never get deleted ever.

The only thing that doesn't sit right with me is private/unlisted not counting as views. I don't really care how many views I get doe.

Allot of people hate that as well.

There are plenty of Videos that have a "Choose your own path" story to them.
And they have to be hidden so users will go back and try to figure out
how to get other endings and to see what happens.

The view count thing hurts smaller channels. The more views you have and the more popular your channel in will link your videos more often in the "related panel"
