YouTube says adieu to the notorious “301+” view counter

Content creators on YouTube can finally jump for joy, as their nemesis the static 301+ view counter has finally been taken away. In its place will be a more real-time counter that will analyse and verify authenticity of views, separating actual viewers from automated bots.

The photo in question was posted on YouTube Creators Twitter account to detail how they’ve filtered out bots in recent times and what changes in their new viewer count system.

To sum it up, viewer counting was all centralised and this process of nit-picking individual bots was really waning on content creators, since it took so long to get feedback if videos were generating views. YouTubers earn based on ad revenue and with a better stats system that will be better updated, they’ll reap more benefits.

As the 301+ club goes away, so does those annoying comments associated with being in that number of viewers who so-called watched a said video first. Hats off Google!
