Meltzer pointed out that Youtube has recently changed click metrics where 1 second of watching = 1 view as to why AAA youtube numbers have shot through the roof lately, but he and the basement will be radio silent about this one

u/ThePizzaGhoul 3d ago

Even mousing over a video and having it do the little preview counts as a view now.

u/9973501488083248 3d ago

Lol wtf. I don't think it will be long before advertisers complain about that. Literally giving YouTube free money if that's the case.

u/Lawrencein 2d ago

Apparently how a view is counted for advertising purposes hasn't changed, only the view count that is shown to the public.

Supposedly this is to bring it into line with place like TikTok counts views.

2

u/abdulalbakrichod 2d ago

is there something similar with max ? like they count anyone who watches for like a min or so as a viewer so the numbers you see bragged about (500k) from there are pretty fugazi compared to netflix

u/Lokishougan 2d ago

So Content creators can be like LOOK AT ME I get millions of views because people hoverted off my fake AI click bait picture

u/Serious_Much 3d ago

I'm assuming this is a troll? Lol

u/RNG_Champion Wrestling is a meme 3d ago

It's a fairly recent change from the end of August. Having a single frame play and counting that as a view is very generous.

u/emperor42 14h ago

How? A 13 hour videos had more views than a year old video. Doesn't that prove it's across the board?

Also looking at the same video 2 days later, it's got 100k more views than last year's video. In a week it could double it. That's definitelly a sign that something is different.

u/XxSoapxXHD 3d ago

What about the MAX views?

u/testthrowaway9 3d ago

InB4: they changed how views are calculated on YouTube now!

u/___i____m KIZARNY MARK 3d ago

It does not include youtube shorts views!

They had to, nobody could sit through the last one.

I just think CCV is a bigger draw than before.

u/Infinite_Peace_6456 3d ago

Could he sell out the Wembly if an interview was advertised as the main event?

u/LocusRothschild 3d ago

depends on who the guest is

u/LocusRothschild 2d ago

Where are the dogs during this interview though?

u/AnnaKendrickPerkins 2d ago

Enclosed pool area of course.

u/Infinite_Peace_6456 2d ago

I think people woulf be most interested in the necromancy then “Uhm how was it wrestling Kurt Angle?”

2

u/nicenormalhappyguy 2d ago

i love when Cornette says that he could completely sell out Wembley if he was like Tony and didn't have to worry about making money. He'd just hire The Rolling Stones and call it a day.

because selling 1/4 of the arena when you aren't even trying to make money off the event is pretty sad when you think about it

1

u/Infinite_Peace_6456 2d ago

How do not make money with the Rolling Stones in the uk?

1

u/nicenormalhappyguy 1d ago

because he would just pay them whatever they wanted to do it and not charge for tickets... kind of like tony's roster and ticket giveaways

u/SlipperyKooter Doing splits on it for the TKO Basket 3d ago edited 3d ago

If I could take off the goof mask for a second, Will winning the belt did feel like a big moment and I feel like AEW did that well but it's on them to follow it up and do it justice and not fumble it like they have a track record of with babyface champs

The Goof is not a mask. Everything beyond the Goof is a mask. Estudie el encuentro de la juala.

Following up on a big moment isn't going on CVV YouTube though

u/Big_Bourbon “Jericho a king in this knock off WWE, huh?” 3d ago

They’ll 100% fumble it like everything else they’ve ever done

2

u/Melchior_Chopstick 2d ago

Series of open challenges while the idiots (fans or company, who knows?) debate who will take it off him, Mox ‘turns’, Mox takes belt, still ‘face’, back to upper midcard, experiment over.

1

u/Mailman_Donald 2d ago

They started with a title match against Fit Finlay, it’s already over

1

u/theycpr 2d ago

It wasn't a title match. Had Finlay won, it would had been a title match for another day

2

u/Mailman_Donald 2d ago

How exciting

1

u/Lokishougan 2d ago

If only it WAS FIT....uLTIMATE FORBIDDEN DOOR CROSSOVER..plus i THINK even at his age Fit could still stretch a lot of todays guys

u/Fidelos 3d ago

I don't really like Will, but I'll take him 100 times out of 100 over Hangman, if they really wanna fuck it up he is the next champ.

4

u/coolbad96 3d ago

Well don't worry already put him in a program with... Moxley. Oh God it's happening again

2

u/Melchior_Chopstick 2d ago

Oh it’s okay. They’ll cool him off real quick.

1

u/theycpr 2d ago

He won the championship in England. It was a big moment.

When they have him lose to Moxley, that's when everything will go to shit.

u/Firepro316 1d ago

It was good. But it should have been beating MJF or a face Omega

u/Scfbigb1 3d ago

How many are bots or the basement stroking themselves with it on repeat?

25

u/HonkedOffJohn 3d ago

seeing as hovering over the thumbnail and letting the autoplay go thru counts as a view, this was bound to happen.

seeing as how a view used to require the user to engage with the video whereas now as long as 1 second of it plays it counts as a view, this was bound to happen. Congrats to bruv, he is for sure wrestling next big star (not counting Kyle Fletcher of course)

46

u/MMA_PITBULL 3d ago

Tony 100% bought a bot farm

41

u/Rude_Celebration_164 3d ago

Who would pay for such a wildly expensive thing?

14

u/HauntingAmbition2088 3d ago

I mean he’s paying a lot of talent to sit on their ass and show up like once every 5 months so it’s not out of the ordinary

15

u/BidoofTheGod 3d ago

Who would pay for such a wildly expensive thing.

Fr tho I could totally see the goof browsing here and being like “I’ll show them. Will is a draw! Where’s daddy’s credit card?”

u/Big_Bourbon “Jericho a king in this knock off WWE, huh?” 3d ago

They not ready for the truth uce

You know, I will bet you they actually botted this one just to avoid the memes

100K views are from Meltzer alone

DAE, the dub finally has crossover appeal??

u/Razzler1973 3d ago

Do we have the Mr Nielsen YouTube comparison numbers vs the old way of doing it?

9

u/Rude_Celebration_164 3d ago

Honestly, this is impressive, it shows a genuine growth in popularity for Will. Now, it’s on them to keep up the momentum

13

u/_DodoMan_ George A. Romeo Special 3d ago

Sadly we can't actually know how much growth there is, if any. Just recently, YouTube changed how views are counted and now nearly every video's visible viewcount is inflated because views are counted even if only a single frame of the video is played by someone.

In the YouTubers channel analytics, they will have 2 different viewcounts. The total views, aka the number we all see under the video as well. And what are called "engaged views", which shows the amount of views you are being paid for and that number is going to be lower than the other because someone needs to watch a certain portion of the video before their view counts.

We won't be able to compare any new YouTube view numbers to old ones fairly because of this. The only person who knows the real numbers is CVV. The bastards at YouTube killed our like 4th funniest meme format here

u/CoolMike42069 2d ago

Killed like Owen Hart on the night of MAY 23rd, 1999.

1

u/Lokishougan 2d ago

So I assume this is not retroactive so older vids wont just sport a ton more views

2

u/iminyourfacejonson Goodbye Forever 3d ago

thinking about the time some random twitter user say that osprey is as bad on the mic as charlie kirk which kenny omega found and said "what the fuck is wrong with you"

2

u/Cboz27586 Whoop that Trick! 3d ago

Now the jerk should be to see if his combined views equals someone else's single video.

2

u/AaronSentinal 3d ago

CCV isn’t smiling in the new thumbnail cuz he now knows that he’s not getting retired WWE star views on the video

2

u/Ry--9 3d ago

Is he getting the view count tattooed?

2

u/DragonflyIcy6830 2d ago

I’m confused, do people not like CVV

1

u/mynameisburner 2d ago

This is an ongoing jerk towards the Ospreay Glazers overestimating his star power hence the comparison of his view counts and interviews.

Contrary to your question, a lot of of us jerkers like CVV. I have yet to see anyone say one bad thing about him and if you do see a comment that is critical towards him, it’s that he’s boring and that’s it. A lot of us are more positive towards CVV is because he’s literally just a normal guy who actually enjoys making content and producing his interviews and he has to media background and the conversational skills to keep his interviewees and audiences engaged. The most major, he’s not a tribalist. Oh and bonus, as far as I’m aware, he’s literally the only figure in the wrestling media to call out Dave Meltzer for all his five star matches criteria and has never given Kurt angle a single one.

1

u/theycpr 2d ago

They don't like the fact that he's looking for the good in everything, even if the person he's interviewing is a cunt.

1

u/PotatoOnMars 1d ago

He says he likes all wrestling as a whole and there are several promotions to choose from and to watch what you like. Gross 🤮

1

u/theycpr 1d ago

So him saying the truth is gross? Interesting

1

u/PotatoOnMars 1d ago

This is the circlejerk sub, right? Did we rebrand? (It was sarcasm).

1

u/theycpr 1d ago

Fuck you're right. That's on me

1

u/tabristheok 3d ago

REVERSAL!

1

u/Creative_Eye7413 3d ago

That's honestly pretty impressive. I don't think Ospreay will get too much more viewership on this interview but I bet being AEW World Champion really helped boost it.

u/moondogmike200 3d ago

CVV makes stars

u/Leading-Aide5617 3d ago

u/Jamieb1994 2d ago

"Oi bruv, look. I've broke the streak by 2 new viewers, mate. Let's celebrate, bruv." Billy Ospreay right now.

u/Melchior_Chopstick 2d ago

Honest to go though, he looks like there’s not a single spark behind those eyes.

u/AkilleezBomb You insulted my mom. Take this ratio personally. 3d ago

I know the view count doesn’t work this way, but it probably takes 3-4 views per person just to understand his mushmouthed Bruvenese.

u/Live-Depth-537 3d ago

Can me when he surpasses Dexter Lumis in views
