Update: Channels in many niche topics are reporting massive drops in views today; I've found that real-time views aren't updating when compared to simply clicking on a video and seeing how many views it has. I believe this is a glitch rather than algorithm shift. @TeamYouTube
I’m just a little guy, but I have noticed that while my sub count is going UP my views has decreased. Which makes no sense. Real-time views is about a day behind. And YouTube has had multiple server issues in the last 72 hours. I have a video in limbo because of it...
