Hmm at a glance I dont see a major issue here, my concern would be that I dont click on vids with shit numbers so they are now on a more equal footing.

But it is better for people not to be so focused on numbers like removing number of likes on Instagram.

I don't mind seeing vids with small numbers (many are genuinely cool) but I avoid 500k and above (except music) because the mainstream is mostly clickbait.

Wouldn’t the YouTube creator need to see views for ad revenue? Are they removing them for viewers or creators too?
