Sounds like they take it more serious than Google does likes on Youtube. A competitor had a video that rapidly had over 100k likes - but if you looked at the total time played, each view averaged to just a couple of seconds on a video over 10 minutes. Reported it, but nothing came of it. (No, not something we regularly do. I think it may be the only video I've ever reported; just want a fair playing field)

That makes no sense to me. Speaking as someone who has been using YouTube Data API v3 and YouTube Analytics API v2 for many years, estimated minutes watched of a video shouldn’t be public info. So how can you “look at the total time played” on a competitor’s video?

Been a few years; I don't recall the how. Maybe I'm thinking of a different platform?
