I think the point is, that it makes a video more attractive for potential viewer if the video has a lot of views and maybe likes. Something else I can't think about.
Yes, youtube is probably filled more then 60-70% with clickbait probably, and that's a pity.
I didn't think about that actually. Views do attract views. I heard a while ago that Youtube now have ways of knowing where the views come from, same IP Adress maybe? Whether this Is ture or not I don't know.
I don't know where the future of Youtube lies with all of the negativity In recent years which Is why I turned to Steemit and Dtube.
Thanks for taking the time to read and comment :)
