If you are closely monitor your YouTube views, you may see that most of the time, the number of views under your video will increase, but sometimes it can drop suddenly. What is the reason for this? YouTube users often wonder if this is caused by glitches in the platform. However, most of the time, these drops in views are caused by the way YouTube analyses views views.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The way YouTube used to count video views in the past<\/span><\/h2>\n

In the previous years, YouTube\u2019s control measures were applied to only videos that reached 300 views. Videos that were viewed fewer times didn\u2019t get analyzed because it was didn\u2019t make sense for the platform to consider every video that was ever uploaded. Users often saw \u201c301+\u201d instead of the exact amount of views and this number would remain frozen for days or even weeks. After that, the number would rapidly increase, and then new views would be added at a slower pace.<\/span><\/p>\n

So why wasn\u2019t YouTube showing the exact view count? The explanation is simple – YouTube counted every view until the number reached 300 and after that, the platform would audit all the views. When the audit was finished, the views that occurred during the audit were added and, at the same time, the platform took away some views it considered fake.
