Embedded videos view count

I have doubts YT counts views via embedded vids

My BoB video post here has 2191 views, yet on YT page only shows about 320.

MotA has a few hundred views here, yet hitting 2900 on YT page. Same with first promo vid.

One counts the people that clicked on the thread, one counts the people who actually clicked on the film.

For example I clicked on the thread and didn't have time to watch it and close my web browser, you'll get 1 view on the thread count added and 0 added to the youtube link. The more people do this (or something similar) the more the disparity between the numbers.

Youtube count is accurate.

I get what you’re saying. But 2191 would mean many do what you say many times. I assumed if you actually go to the page is when its counted. Gonna have to test it.

Its not important, just weird.

On the page it shows 320, in stats it shows 400+
