Youtube views dropping and controversy

I think you're looking too much into it.  
There's probably a billion factors that go into the like / view ratio.  

Also have to keep in mind, that views will increase going forward, much faster than likes.  

You can only like a page once, you could count as a view as many times as you watch it (pretty close, not exactly though).  

So 30,000 people like a video, and those 30,000 people keep coming back to watch the video every few months.  We get zero new likes, and 30,000 new views every month.  

As a weird example.

The Uncharted 4 trailer from E3 2014 is pretty much the exact same thing and has almost 10 million views (compared to 70k likes) on the Playstation channel. I'm just saying that this is extremely unusual, of course the view to like ratio won't be the same on every game trailer ever, but a trailer with 155k likes normally gets a shame ton more views than this. Also I disagree about the trailer not being interesting to watch, the TLOU2 trailer is a straight 10/10 like I haven't seen since the first FF7 Remake trailer imo.

Uncharted 4 was showing off the PS4's graphics. Also teased a new environment.


TLOU2 is a good trailer I agree but high quality!=high view count.

I'm disagreeing with you here legend. TLOU2 trailer is amazing. I've watched it at least 5 times already

TLOU2 trailer just isn't that interesting to watch. In effect the video only shows "new TLOU is being made and it happens a few years later." Spiderman trailer has much more mystery around it and the spiderman films greatly increase casual popularity. The trailer for the new spiderman film is already at 15 million views for example.

I was disagreeing with this post mainly. I was just quoting lazily because I'm on my phone. Its just a great trailer to watch. It shows Ellie grown up and its Ellie playing a guitar and singing which is awesome!
