Why not? YT view counter is famous for being stuck on some low value like "300" when thousands of people are watching. It just isn't something worth updating in real time.

That’s a thing from like 2015 that was in place to to make sure that the views were real. I’ve uploaded videos that have gotten 10s if views. Really, how hard do you think it is to make a counter?
