'Yeh Expected Nahi Tha Tumse': Samay Raina Slams YouTube Over New Update - Watch Video

Comedian Samay Raina recently expressed his disappointment with YouTube's new update on his Instagram stories. The update counts a video as a view even if it is watched for just a second, rather than the previous requirement of at least 30 seconds. Samay noted that this new standard is disappointing because it devalues actual engagement with the content.

He shared videos showing that the views for India's Got Talent season 2's latest episode were better than those of a previous episode, but the likes were fewer. Samay revealed that he conducted research to discover the new YouTube update. He stated, "If you see the views of India's Got Talent episode 5, it is more than the Karan Aujla episode already. But there weren't that many likes."

Samay emphasized that the new update is "shi*****" and expressed his disappointment, saying, "Itna ganda update . What the hell?" He explained that a genuine view requires someone to have actually watched the content, but now YouTube is just counting a glance. Samay lamented, "I was very happy that the episode with Archana Puran Singh broke records, but now I am seeing that I am getting views for free. Sad bro! What the f*** does it mean now?"

He questioned the value of having 75 million views on his special when anyone could post anything and potentially receive 100 million views. India's Got Talent fans are eagerly anticipating the next episode of season 2, featuring Rakhi Sawant.
