I spent far too long trying to format this into a nice looking graph in Excel, so I'm just posting the raw data with it.

Amusingly enough, that huge jump happened right after my post about its low view count. Meanwhile the like count shows no bumps or changes and is a near perfect straight line. Wonder if this is Youtube fuzzing the view counts or something else.

Once a video has over 300 views, each view has to be verified. It verifies them and then adds them in chunks, although its a bit inconsistent. Likes are just constantly added.

Yeah I know it does that, but this change happened around 20k views.

Also in the past Youtube would literally pause the view count until the next chunk is added. Now I think they interpolate between the chunks to keep the views always increasing.

Well I think at first it holds the view count really low before it starts to add them properly like you mentioned.

The Way Out trailer has the same jump at ~20k so I guess that's when they switch methods a second time.

Really low like count for anthem imo. Smells a bit like it's being advertised

People are hearing about it and seeing it, but not liking it. The video has a ton of dislikes.

Anthem is a game we know nothing about and that teaser trailer shows us nothing. What we should really judge is the reaction to the gameplay at MS's conference.
