If I don't have a Youtube account, does my view get counted?
Just wondering because there are videos that raise money for charity. If I watch it more than once, is is counted more than once?

If you watch more than once it will count more than once but there are security checks to make sure you just don't keep restarting it in a loop or some other trick to gain counts. Some times you will see the count go up then a few days later suddenly drop down again when the algorithms catch up.

Watching it more than once does NOT count as a separate view. But if you watch it without signing in, it counts as 1 view. Subsequently, signing in and watching it counts as another view. Signing into another account and watching counts as 1 more view.
But without signing in, no matter how many times you view the video, it will be just 1 view. Because views are recorded by using unique IP addresses. Watching it without signing in from another device will also count as another view.
Hope it helps .....

YouTube video count WILL increment when:
- You watch a video on youtube.com, as long as you don’t reload the video a bazillion times (particularly as it approaches 308 views).
- You watch an embedded video (using YouTube’s own HTML5 or Flash player) on another domain that requires you to hit play.
YouTube will NOT increment video count when:
- You watch an embedded video in a player that has autoplay enabled (video begins playing immediately on page load).
- You watch a video that is loaded through a proprietary player via the YouTube API.
