Insights by Echo AI
YouTube is updating its view-counting system starting August 24. Instead of requiring a minimum watch time, views will be counted as soon as a video begins playing, aligning with the systems used by Instagram, TikTok, and its Shorts videos. This change will not affect creators' earnings or YouTube Partner Program eligibility.
