TaylorSwift 163,422 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 YouTube will soon count a view as soon as a video starts to play, lining up with the system used by Instagram, TikTok, and its Shorts videos. Beginning on 8/24/2026, a view will be counted the moment a video begins to play—from the very first frame. This standard will now apply globally across all formats. Historically, we’ve used multiple view counting systems across different formats. However, we’ve heard that creators want to eliminate this metric confusion and accurately understand their true exposure, which is why we’re making this update! https://support.google.com/youtube/thread/433409976 Vote for me: https://www.grammy.com/vote/taylor-swift 3 1 3 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure they introduced the 30 second minimum due to spam. Go back further to the very early days and im pretty sure a click = a view automatically Edited August 17 by Economy 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go back further to the very early days and im pretty sure a click = a view automatically Yes you're right, when they launched youtube the view was counted right after the video started They never fully said the view was only counted after 30 sec after that, but released the concept of a legitimate view (which is probably a view after 30 seconds lol) 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gagzus 24,629 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 To be honest music videos on YouTube are useless outside of monetisation for indie artists now. They don’t count towards Billboard anymore so that’s not gonna benefit people anymore. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
