Youtube - Videos watched

[Ravioli]

Not sure where i should put this. I recently noticed that the "Videos Watched" is gone from all accounts :O Why? I cant find any official word about it anywhere. Why would they remove that feature?

I had almost reached 40.000

I'm at like 13,000

 

[The Monkey]

Christ, I'm at 195,031. Never checked it before.

 

[Qonfused]

130,000, awesome

 

[StardogChampion]

It's gone from all the new channels.

 

[Ravioli]

How do you guys check it? I created my acc back in 06, so its not "new"

 

[Barnz]

from the link I posted?

 

[Ravioli]

Doesnt show for me :/

All that shows is

but not the amount of videos ive watched. I think you guys have confused with what i was talking about. Im talking about the counter that displays the amount of videos YOU yourself have seen.

 

[Barnz]

isn't it "Video Views"? also nice youtube username

 

[Ravioli]

No, thats the amount of people that have watched your videos combined.

thx lol

 

[Barnz]

give me a hour, i think i know how to get it

I used to be able to find it but now I can't. Dunno why they'd remove it, but it looks like they have regardless.

My first guess: probably because some people treated 'Videos Watched' as an achievement. They don't want people trying to waste their bandwidth.

I've watched a majority of my youtube videos while logged out.

Waste bandwith? You mean make more profits...The more people watch, the more money.

 

[VirusType2]

Don't be ridiculous. The more videos you watch Ravioli, the more money they make? LOL No, that costs them a lot of money. They want as many unique IPs that they can get, that don't watch a lot and click on ads. That's the ideal person they want - not someone with ad-block watching 10,000 videos a year.

thx lol

130,000, awesome

Well never mind then, lol.

I don't want to know how many I've watched because then it will become this big e-peen thing where I'll actually give a shit.

Anyone who does care should get kneecap cancer

 

[The Monkey]

You can actually get kneecap cancer? Sounds like the least horrible form of cancer I've heard of.

what about toe cancer??

you can get it just about anywhere. a guy at work got it behind his eye

 

[Ravioli]

Testicle and Breast cancer are the worst. Because i love testicles, and i have tits.

No wait, the other way around.

40,000 Videos Viewed Achievement: Testicular cancer gained (free vasectomy).

# views for your videos is a bad enough e-peen statistic.
