Test has actually been done in 2025, just 2 or three months ago.
And yes, it took until the next day for the count to increase.
Background for the test was, that I am not using paid streaming services any more (and use ad-blocking apps) but wanted to see if the artists still get the views counted.
Although actually I am more interested if this is also true for YT-music (which is the main one I am using a lot without paying or watching ads).
One might assume it is the same as for the videos, but I don’t know how to test it… So if anyone has an idea…?
Good idea, I could publish a podcast and have a look on how it behaves!
So, just need to think of a podcast topic nobody is likely to want to listen to… hmm…

Hmm, can you get stats on your own music or podcast in the admin pages?
