What is "Views"?
The Views metric on YouTube represents the number of times a video has been watched. This metric counts both full views and partial views, with a partial view being any view that lasts for at least 30 seconds or until the end of the video, whichever comes first. Views are a key indicator of a video's popularity and success on the platform. However, it's important to note that not all views may be from unique viewers, and views can also be artificially inflated through tactics like buying views or using bots.
Example: A popular beauty vlogger can use the Views metric to see how well their latest makeup tutorial video is performing and adjust future content based on the audience's interest.
