YouTube Updates Shorts View Counting Method

• YouTube is updating how it counts views on YouTube Shorts to give creators better insights.
• Previously, views were counted after watching for a certain number of seconds.
• Now, views will be counted each time a Short starts to play or replay.
• This change aligns YouTube Shorts with TikTok and Instagram Reels metrics.
• The update will not affect earnings or eligibility for the YouTube Partner Program.
