I tried to find the Trump RNC speech last night and noticed the same weirdness.
Even more bizarre is the viewer watch counter.
It's not working.
Last night the Newsmax post of the speech had a total of 690 views, now it has 510 views
Very few of the Trump RNC YouTube videos had more than a thousand reported view hits, despite the fact that the feeds were painfully slow, especially for the first 20 minutes of the speech, which usually means the sever is seeing very high volumes views.
So either YouTub has disabled the viewer counters to hide massive volume of viewers , or they have intentionally set and sabotaged the parameters so the first quarter hour or so of the data transfer rate Trump's RNC acceptance speech is so slow you hear two or three words of a broken sentence followed by a 30 seconds of silence while the video loads to suppress viewers watching
In contrast, Malania’s speech as like 4 million views and Donald Trumps speech from the other day has 1.4 million views.
It does not add up so perhaps YouTube is doing a sabotage job on Trump to discourage viewers.
