Re: Why does every single "update" or "change" they make - makes it harder to use Youtube and just takes away features?

I've tried looking at the analytics page but it doesn't matter what I click on the left side of the page as all that comes up every time is 'Your account does not have any public videos. Either upload a video or make one of your existing uploads public'.  So are the figures under these sections, ie under views, just for views on videos you've uploaded or is it meant to be for channel views?  I don't have any uploaded videos but prior to this change, my channel had 32,807 views and increased anything between approx 20 to 100 views per day.  This change has totally annoyed me as I, like millions of others, still like to know how many views our channels receive each day. Channel views and not video views that is.

I really wish that youtube would stop messing around with things. Most people were happy with the old way before the enforced change. So why did they have to change it, especially taking away certain features, most importantly channel views?  I really want youtube to bring this feature back as it is just crap without it!
