Answered Are the "Views" analytics based on organic views or both organic and paid ads?

[manoella]

I can see analytics for my channel's views and competitor's but are those views based on only organic views or do they count unpublished videos that are used as ads too?

It reflects views from ads as well, though those will be counted differently behind the scenes. I am afraid I can not give specifics as ad views actually count different towards monetization depending on whether you are a music channel and whether it is within the first 24 hours of the ad. It's a little convoluted to explain.

Basically they count and you should see them in your analytics but you obviously will not make revenue from these views.
