Up until now you may have noticed that most youtube videos initially max out at 301+ views, this was because after a video had garnered more than 300 views the guys at youtube put a hold on the public count until they manually verified that the views were real and not from bots. Well now they have figured a way of doing that automatically and thusly 301+ views are no more!
We're saying goodbye to 301+ and hello to more up-to-date video views. pic.twitter.com/33OQuOvxcs
