Does watching on Piped count views and such? (lemm.ee)

So I considering switching to Piped, but I'm wondering if the views (or other metrics) are counted on Youtube itself. I don't like the idea I'm kinda "robbing" the content creators I enjoy...

I think I know the answer but would like to know for sure.

Watched it too myself, full way through. Let's see boi's, this is some real science bitch

Also watched " Elf Squad Live Stream 3" on invidious to see how that goes

Neither video has views still, science works!

Yay for science. Is it possible that it would be on a delay? Probably not but I have no idea how this works so I rather ask.

[-] Weslee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Nah, if there is a delay it's very minor, I've uploaded videos and had views showing up within minutes
