Unfortunately, yes since for views to be counted, we have to make some tracking requests to YouTube.
If you ever feel inclined and if it is possible, maybe add a search of odysee to see if the content creator posts there. A lot of what I watch is posted on odysee too.
Piped uses the Odysee sync API to find YouTube content already available there, and if so stream it from there. This is also written in the readme on the GitHub :)
BTW, you're awesome! Thanks!
What does it mean to sync with your YouTube channel?
