Each time a viewer intentionally initiates the playing of a video on their device and watches for at least 30 seconds that counts as a view. Pretty simple! If you play your own video, that will be counted as a view. If a viewer watches your video more than once, each screening will be counted as a new view.
YouTube's views aren't unique; replays and re-visits are counted in the view count. You can see your number of unique viewers in your YouTube analytics dashboard.
YouTube does add views when a watch page is refreshed. But, the video must be watched for a total of 30 seconds, and a maximum of 5 views will be registered per unique user in 24 hours.
Skippable in-stream ads: Paid advertising views will be counted as views when: Someone watches a complete ad that's 11–30 seconds long. Someone watches at least 30 seconds of an ad that's more than 30 seconds long.

Yes, repeat views on YouTube can count toward total views.
While we know this can be discouraging, it is a normal thing that happens to everyone on the platform. It's not that you're doing anything wrong nor that you're being penalized in any way. It's just one of YouTube's way of keeping the views and subscriber counts fair for everyone. Cool?
It takes one year to get 4,000 watch hours (240,000 minutes) if you maintain 20,000 minutes of watch time per month. Your watch time is divided across your entire YouTube channel. So you can achieve 4,000 watch hours with a few great videos.
Looping a video can potentially increase views on social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok. Looping videos can grab the viewer's attention and encourage them to watch multiple times which encourages algorithms to show the content to other users.
Vlogs: Vlogs are a popular and broad video type that can be found on just about any Youtube channel. Vlogs typically involve the Youtuber talking on camera about a certain topic and can range from a simple video focusing on the YouTuber to a video mixed and edited with animation, pictures, and more.
If you see your views not increasing, one important factor could be a poor retention rate. A retention rate determines how many people left your videos midway. If people leave your videos midway it is not healthy for your channel.
Repeated views count up to a certain point (say, for instance, someone watches a video multiple times a day), but they stop counting at a certain number that YouTube has not specified. Experts believe that after 4 or 5 views in one day, YouTube stops adding new views to a video's view count number.
The primary method of payment for your YouTube earnings occurs through AdSense. AdSense is Google's ad serving program where AdSense publishers (monetizing YouTube Creators included) can earn money and get paid.
If you watch a video at 2x speed, then the watch time is considered as half of it.
On average, a YouTuber earns around $0.018 for each view, which amounts to $18 for every 1,000 views.
You can expect to make up to $6 per 1,000 views. This means that your estimated earnings would be $1,200 to $6,000 for every million views on the videos you post.
YouTubers can earn money from a cut of ad revenue on both their shorts and long-form videos. YouTube income per 1,000 views was between $1.61 and $29.30 for long-form videos, creators said.
It is generally a good idea to delete old videos that are no longer relevant or are not receiving any views. This can help improve the overall quality and relevance of the content on your channel. Additionally, having a smaller number of high-quality videos can make it easier for viewers to find and watch your content.
With 1,000 subscribers, you could make anywhere between $50-$100 per month in membership fees, depending on the membership fee you set. YouTube takes a cut of the revenue, but this is still an excellent way to make money off your channel without relying solely on ads or sponsorships.
In short: 3 months, but there are exceptions to this rule. I've had videos (that I considered “dead”) rank after a year, others took only a month rank. It depends on search volume, competition and your audience. Let's take a look at the lifecycle of some of my videos and the formula to go viral on YouTube.
