If you type the exact title of the video in Youtube, it will not show up, or at least wasn't yesterday. Many of the comments confirm this. I haven't checked today. You had to type the channel name and then find it that way.

I found it because it was shared on Twitter. That's how most people are finding it. It's being shared widely on Twitter, Reddit, etc.

The views are because it's going viral on other platforms where people are linking it. Those views are in spite of the fact that Youtube hides it from the search, not because of it.
