I was watching the HardFork trailer for the second time today and thought it would be a good opportunity to share it around on various subreddits to give it and Steemit some attention when I noticed the view count was surprisingly low on Youtube.
I quickly checked the post and it had made over 2,000 views so it seemed weird that the video only had over 300. Then I remembered something a friend of mine told me a long time ago on Steemit about youtube embedding.
Basically, when you are embedding your youtube video onto your Steemit post, don't copy it from here:
and don't copy it from here either:
instead, click on "embed" in the second image and copy this code instead:
This should still generate the views even though you are only viewing it through the Steemit post.
Having said that, I haven't tried this in months, but I figured right now would be a good opportunity to test it out and at the same time give the video some more deserved views through my followers as well.
I'll refrain from sharing it onto other places for now to see if this actually works, so if you haven't watched it yet, check it out! It's really well made and I can't wait to see the rest of it! :)
Make sure to also follow @hardfork-series and support them along the way!
Thank you very much for this tip. I had no idea it mattered how you add video to your posts.

@acidyo, I always try to write to you only when I have good quality content that I want feed back on :). I hate spamming people and I apologize if I have ever spammed you. That's why I post only when I am sure it will be good stuff. And now I just posted a Biography about my best friend who has an amazing transformation. It is an original story and it will inspire you :)) I will be really happy if you check it out and maybe expose it to any other content curators

Thank you so much! I have a youtube channel of 14k subscribers and I was wondering why on earth videos here are not watched.
However, I believe that steemit is not meants for videos. People don't really watch it (Maybe?)
I personally have shared videos but I prefer to read than watch here on steemit. Maybe it is the way the platform is designed, I can't give an explanation. I just "feel" it!

Embedding option is great. One more thing I want to add here. It will increase your visibility both in youtube as well as in google. In simple terms, the more you embedded that video the higher you get rank in google and youtube.

That's really cool, never thought that an youtube video couldn't get views unless properly embeded. I am curios if you know a method to embed images that allows readers to click on them and make them larger. I've struggled to find a way to do that. Cheers

No, you can't do what you want. That requires a script to run to pop out the image. And you cannot embed scripts in you posts.
You can create a link to the larger picture. So, if someone clicks on it, they will go to a page, that is the larger picture.
< A href="www.mypicture.com/picture.jpg">
< img src="www.mypicture.com/picture.jpg" />
< /A>
In steemit com the picture gets sized to 672 px wide.
If they click on the picture, they will go to mypicture com and view the full picture size.

Hi @acidyo, Any video that is embedded at any platform other than YouTube will increase the video count at the original source video. You can see all the relevant data in YouTube analytics.
