I've been mostly livestreaming recently, and not uploading prerecorded content, but yeah, I don't think I've ever seen that. I'm a nobody, extremely inconsistent, have 30 followers...and all my vids still get a couple views/clickthroughs/impressions.
I don't have an exact comparison since live vs upload isn't going to be 1:1, but there's generally going to be a little movement, even with zero promotion.
15 impressions + zero views is NUTS. I get more than that, with less followers, probably less consistency and definitely less effort (I've seen some of your content when you've linked it before, you put in a lot of work!), and zero promotion. Literally just uploading a video SHOULD get you more than that, no matter how small you are. That does seem sus.
EDIT: Wait, OP, isn't that video not even released yet, though? Do you usually see more movement before premiere?
As to what you're seeing just now, I reuploaded the video, set the original to unlisted and trying again.
I realized when I uploaded the first time, I had a VPN on, so perhaps it could be Youtube flagged it as bot activity or something.
Reuploaded without VPN, also setting as premiere to see if it still has zero views after it goes live tomorrow.
EDIT: Not sure if I should do the premiere thing. I've heard it can hurt your numbers unless you have a huge amount of subscribers. I'll just have it upload tomorrow instead of premiere and see if it does the same having now uploaded without VPN

Ah, thought it might be something like that.

Thanks, I hate it.

Can't help you there...I'm retarded.
I'll queue up to be at least one warm body in chat, though, and drop a comment to be an ENGAGED CHATTER™ (Fuck you, YouTube) tomorrow, too. Best of luck.
And keep being based, don't let The Man keep you down! REEEEE.
Yeah, I know it's foolish to use my main account to speak my political views, but there's something in me that refuses to cower behind a dummy account so that "daddy google" stays happy with me.
I'm pretty much like, no, people need to speak their mind and speak freely regardless of the consequences. If I'm not willing to do it when I have no money or anything really at stake, then I wouldn't be willing to do it when there are serious things at stake.

Resplect.
This is what the internet is about. People SHOULD be able to speak their mind, they shouldn't have to hem and haw, or use alt-accounts, just to min-max engagement due to interference from retarded globalists.
I'll fucking speak my mind, damn straight. People can take it or leave it. I am human, therefore I shall yap.
