The abuse protection algo works something like:
Total data transferred to unique IPs / size of the video.
Because the logs are all over the place (CDNs), it takes about 1 day for the view count to be updated.
This is a more accurate and abuse proof way of counting "views". Your simple "1 click = 1 view" is abuse prone, which is why it is not done this way.
