YouTube will now show you the number of views and likes a video has in real-time\u060c<\/p>\n

\n
Google is changing the likes and views counters on YouTube so that they automatically update when a video is viewed. Currently, if you watch a video on the platform, the number of likes and views will not change while you watch the clip. But with this update, both of these metrics will increase and show a cool animation of a rolling number counter whether the video<\/a> is playing or paused. And the animation will play even if you switch to another app<\/a> and return to YouTube.<\/div>\n
Android Font<\/a> I discovered this new behavior on YouTube and couldn't find any references to it except for a post on Reddit<\/a> back in October from the user nonotan<\/span> who wrote: “I'm watching a video and I keep getting distracted by an animation where the view counter jumps to a new number as if it were a physical click counter. I've never saw this behavior before today, and I would like to disable it.”<\/div>\n

The red boxes show the number of views and likes of this video which increases in real time<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The same Redditor was so bothered by the effect that he added the following line to his filters, which prevented the animation and countdown from advancing in real time: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/ youtubei\/v1\/updated_metadata*.<\/p>\n

Others have also posted similar posts about the feature, such as Reddit user. Reyh<\/span> who said: \u201cIndeed, it is distracting and, in my humble opinion, not at all beneficial. I saw it on Tuesday for the first time, using Firefox. The first few times I only noticed some sort of movement at the bottom left of the videos. I was wondering if it was in “The video itself. Then I looked at the area for a while and saw the new counter animation.”<\/p>\n

It appears that this feature is being tested with the help of a very limited number of YouTube users worldwide. Those who see the feature will notice the number of views and number of likes appear on the screen up to a higher number while they watch the video. Google<\/a> calls this progress and for some of you, it may be.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
