The more I think about it, the more sure I am. Check the UbO Lite blocklist. It’s gotta be blocking some youtube telemetry domain or url that signals playback data. It would explain everything: 1. Desktop views affected only 2. RPM stays the same because the disappeared views were from those using adblockers anyway. 3. Relative likes go up because it’s not blocking interaction 4. There was an update to UbO lite on August 12th, presumingly pushed to web store next day (though it updates somewhat frequently so that’s not necessarily a smoking gun) Yall can tag whoever are the main people investigating in the comments, I haven’t been really following this closely to know.

Curious @YouTubeInsider - how does a video with only 2,200 views (one of my worst performing in quite some time) somehow get 1,169 likes? @linusgsebastian is seeing similar issues.
