YouTube ditches “301+” video view counter, introduces new method for keeping views up-to-date
YouTube announced a new plan today to finally get rid of the well-known “301+” issue that affected popular videos on the site.
As has been explained by the company in the past, the process of verifying the legitimacy of views on popular videos often meant that when a video hit 300 views, the counter would freeze at “301+” while the rest of the views were verified.
