@TeamYouTube I'm having a strange issue. It seems I'm getting like one view per day at the same time even the same minute and it's all barely a minute long. It is not a lack of engagement either. This seems to be occurring outside of sub traffic and not from YouTube...
Thanks for reaching out. Mind sharing more details about your question? Also – check out this article to learn more about how videos are counted: https://yt.be/help/Jgao

Okay well I've noticed within minutes of publishing my videos I'd get some traffic that appeared to be normal, a decent length watched. I even got a few subscribers during that time. Unusually about 24 hours later I get a single view that's always a random number under 1 minute..

with no other interaction. This same oddity occurs the next consecutive days at the same time as the first incident with random watch time. This only stops when the audience retention value, which after the first upload has been 50-60%, has dropped below 19%.

My fear, which seems illogical but based on the evidence (screenshots coming soon) seems likely, is that someone is knowledgable of how your platform deals with audience retention for video suggestions and is somehow exploiting that as a weapon to stifle small/new channels.

Here is an example of this issue, not a decent example as my last video was hit with harder, over 24 hours, but because of the way YT Beta Analytics condenses a 24 hour period I can't show all the unusual traffic as it came in within that time frame...

odd traffic hit, one of two (keep in mind this isn't my last upload and it got hit with these within hour not minutes though a majority of this has been happening within days of upload)pic.twitter.com/RSJWeGKLs4

odd traffic hit two of two... both hits reduced video performance from 60% to 26.1% in just 2 views done just two days! This isn't how it's intended, this isn't showing me where people are stopping, it's showing me some want to stop my videos from even having a fair chance.pic.twitter.com/SwiYxmv4ct

I'll be watching my next video closely and will report the hour by hour if the same issue reoccurs though I am certain it will since this has affected all the videos on my channel thus far.
