The simple explanation is that those were bot views. This was happening ten years ago, on both youtube and google blogs. Bots crawl the site to log information and create search references, and there are lots of them. They are not human, so they are deleted.
Interesting theory! There have been examples that make me think this is not the case. I uploaded a video on the troops "coming home" but it was super depressing so I didn't post it here or on PAW and it got 8 views in a week and I yanked it because it wasn't fun to watch anyways.
I saw it happen in real time on a blog that I was running years ago. I watched the analytics, and in the first few hours it was mostly bots from all over the workd, until I managed to start up traffic from other sites. The stats would then go down to the human traffic.
Yes. I usually post them here or on PAW and it gets around 110 views within the first couple of hours of me uploading and posting. Then I'll check back later and it'll be cut in half. Also I'll have 3 or 4 likes then it'll be cut to one (mine lol)
Odysee and Rumble are other options. I have an odysee and I REALLY like the format but all these sites are really buggy in comparison to YouTube unfortunately.
Thanks for the suggestions! I was finally able to get the video to rend on bitchute for now. Will look into odysse I have seen a few videos on that platform.
Also, as an experiment I put it in a playlist by itself on repeat on my personal supposedly unconnected YouTube profile and took an hour nap and it's still saying 46. Should be at least 70 😆🤦♂️

Also people who click but don't watch enough for interactions to stick.

You are important! Every single one of us matter. We cannot do this alone. Only together will we overcome this bullshit
Thanks fren! I figure if it's happening to me then it must be happening to everybody on our side.
... YouTube is asshoe is the ending to that. My title was too long winded. They do this every time. I'll take before and afters for the next post.
What does it mean to steal views? Does that mean your view count goes down, or something else?

I forget a lot of the stuff I see on YouTube. It's kind of like unseeing it. Maybe lots of other people do, too. /s
That's pretty bad they're so sweeping with their evil. Good to know.
😆😆
