Would definitely be interesting to see the results of this. I suspect quite a few people use the view count as 'social proof', so it'd make sense that smaller channels and less popular videos would see a bit of a boost here.


I like the YouTube homepage that removes everything but the search bar.

(pedantry: the search bar, a side menu, and the nag to turn my history back on)
