YouTube views are the most visible metric. A video with 1M views gets clicked. A video with 100 views gets scrolled past. Views drive perception, and perception drives more views.
Why YouTube Views Matter
Views affect: • Video social proof • Search and recommendation rankings • Advertiser interest • Overall channel authority
Types of View Services
Standard views: Quick delivery, builds numbers.
High-retention views: Viewers watch longer. Better for algorithm and watch hours.
Targeted views: From specific countries. Good for geo-targeted content.
What to Expect
Delivery: Views arrive over hours to days depending on quantity.
Retention: Views don't drop, but low-quality views may not add watch time.
Watch time: Standard views may only watch seconds. High-retention views watch longer, contributing to watch hours.
Views vs Watch Hours
Views count the number of people who clicked. Watch hours count how long they watched.
For monetization, watch hours matter. For social proof, views matter.

Combine with Likes and Comments
Views alone look incomplete. A video with 100K views and 10 likes looks suspicious. Balance your metrics.
