on Watching Youtube Videos: A Quirk

[Matthew Heumann]

I've only just now realized that if you watch Youtube videos inside a web site (Concertina.net, ICA, etc) the views don't register on the Youtube channel. For that you have to go to the corner of the video and select "watch on Youtube". Doesn't matter to me, but if some are trying to get their viewership numbers up, it a good thing to know.

Another thing I know from my own experience is that when I review my own stuff in my own tube channel( ( when putting on new stuff)..to check it has streamed through correctly)..You also get counted as a viewing number yourself ( on your own channel,)!🌝

I think that only works if you haven't signed in. When I visit without logging in, it counts, but if logged in, it doesn't.

Even better: videos embedded on for example C.net are not polluted by commercials....
