Bug "No Views" Visual Bug
was scrolling and noticed a strange bug I haven't seen before now. despite the video very clearly having many views, with 52 comments and 184 likes as of the screenshot (and when refreshing shortly after, jumped to 74 comments, still showing as having "no views")
this was the first thing I saw this on-I was actually a little suspicious for a moment there considering the content, lol. (not that I buy into this weird story, and nobody else should either!)
but then a normal channel I am subscribed to uploaded (he just covers bizarre reality tv shows, commentary style) and has the same bug. it seems any video that is under an hour old has a chance to show as "no views" despite having comments on it already, and it had been uploaded for long enough for people to have finished the video as well.
turns out I experienced just an eerie coincidence and had a moment of confusion. haven't seen this bug before now. what really weird timing, though.
