Does watching on Piped count views and such? (lemm.ee)

So I considering switching to Piped, but I'm wondering if the views (or other metrics) are counted on Youtube itself. I don't like the idea I'm kinda "robbing" the content creators I enjoy...

I think I know the answer but would like to know for sure.

This is one of my videos with 0 views, try watching it, I'll comment tomorrow with if there are any views on it

Watched it too myself, full way through. Let's see boi's, this is some real science bitch

Also watched " Elf Squad Live Stream 3" on invidious to see how that goes

Neither video has views still, science works!

[–] illi@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yay for science. Is it possible that it would be on a delay? Probably not but I have no idea how this works so I rather ask.

[–] Weslee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Nah, if there is a delay it's very minor, I've uploaded videos and had views showing up within minutes

I've let it play for more than one minute through Piped, let's see what happens.

[–] Weslee@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

No views still

Great idea, thanks for doing the experiment.

Played most of the vid, doesn't seem like it'd register though.
