More views coming for YouTube Shorts creators: Here’s what is changing

YouTube Shorts creators might be in for a treat. The video streaming platform has announced that it is changing the metrics of counting views on YouTube Shorts. This is being done to give creators a deeper sense of how their Shorts are performing. The updated metrics will come into effect starting March 31.

As per the announcement, YouTube will now count the number of times a creator’s Shorts starts to play or replay. Earlier, views were counted after a Short was viewed for a certain number of seconds. What this change effectively means is that the viewer count will be going up.
