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.

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

      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

          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.

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

      Great idea, thanks for doing the experiment.

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