YouTube Question Question about watch hours

[Rifat Fatima]

Hi, I have a question. TubeBuddy is showing 39.7K views but YouTube is showing 117 public watch hours. What does it mean. Can someone please explain.

Thank you.

Views and watch hours are two completely different statistics. Here's an example: You have a single video on your channel that is 10 hours long. Person A watches all 10 hours of the video, so you get 1 view and 10 hours of watch time. Person B watches 1 hour of the video and clicks off, so you now have 2 views and 11 hours of watch time. Views don't necessarily correlate to watch time.
