YouTube has been having some sort of problem with their view count for the past couple of months. They claim the views are still being counted but aren't showing. Being a programmer myself, I find it a bit tough to comprehend how they are having such a difficult time fixing a simple database problem like this. Anyway, it isn't just us; it appears to be across the board.
Anyway, if everyone who has commented here would go there and comment and favorite the video we'll have some social proof that the counter isn't providing.
