Youtube hasn't publicly announced how the view count system works. But there are certain researches on this and conclusions are- 1. If you watch the video's first 5 seconds - counts as 1 view (Need not to watch the whole video from the 0:00 beginning to the end) 2.
If you skip the video playback into a certain time like 2:17 etc - and watch for a couple of seconds - counts as 1 view 3. Some partners have the privilege that if someone loads the video page (even if they won't watch the video- or even a few seconds) - counts as 1 view. But you don't have to watch the whole video to increase the view count.
You have to watch a portion of the video, but Youtube just decided to remove a lot of views, I went from 100k views to 900 views. *facepalm.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
