Is This Legit?

It had been up for eight hours!

I believe that means that you hadn't watched it yet.

edit: just checked and that is what it is.

It is so legit...it is unable to quit

@BISP247 :-D 

It doesn't update whenever someone watches it. The number of views probably updates every 12 hours or so.

Not true. It was Unwatched before I watched it and Watched after.

Other videos, that I haven't watched, still show Unwatched.

Thanks, @Martin_Stahl. I guess it's a new feature... I don't think I had ever seen that before.

#6 That clears things up. 

I haven't watched many videos recently but I think that is a newer feature.

I think you need to reload the page and then it will say watched.
