Return View Counter And Date #2651

Open SuperTRev16 opened 2 weeks ago

SuperTRev16 commented 2 weeks ago

PROBLEM: There are rumors that YouTube is testing out the removal of the # of views on videos, and the date it was published.

Numbers Gone

The implications of this change to viewers and creators is staggering. Yikes.

SOLUTION:
Create a new feature that gives us the ability to return those numbers in all places they exist.

RELEVANCE / SCOPE: YouTube Homepage, search results, on the video page itself.

I should have made it clear that the pic is the generic example of the rumor. It's not a pic of what I see when I log in to YouTube. It's a rumor as of when I posted the request. I thought to make people aware of it as soon as I found out about it. So I can't test it because it's not happening yet (but knowing Google it probably will). Sorry about the confusion.

Didn't know YouTube had an experiment flag list. Having a look at their beta testing log is depressing. https://support.google.com/youtube/thread/18138167/youtube-test-features-and-experiments

YouTubers will be able to set up AI reply bots in the comment section. 😭😭😭😭 whyyyyy Instead of dealing with the bots in the comments they are adding more bots to it. 😭😭😭😭😭😭
