This is with YouTube says about it:

We’ve made a change in our public-facing view counts across the site
that will enable us to consistently reflect what is considered a
'view,' based upon video consumption, video streaming and spam
filtering. This only affects view counts from February 25 moving
forward.
Implementing this change also caused view count updates to slow down a
bit in general; many people have noticed this and we're aware of the
issue.
Thanks,
- Timmy

If one IP adress get more than 200 hits on one video the views gets freezing.

An important message from the YouTube Team:


Video view counts reflect the YouTube community's interests and the
grassroots popularity of videos. We periodically make changes that
allow us to display consistent view counts and accurately reflect a
"real" view based on video consumption, video streaming and spam
filtering. Unfortunately, a few people still try to artificially
manipulate their video's view counts. Some people game third-party
view counts as well. That can make things unfair for everyone.


Recently, we found spamming issues associated with the view counts on
a small number of videos. The inflated view count number on these
videos will be frozen until actual views catch up to the published,
artificial, view count. Also, a few people have commented that their
view counts are updating more slowly. Occasionally the speed with
which views update changes -- sometimes it’s faster and sometimes it’s
slower. But we are always working to make sure that the final view
count numbers are an accurate reflection of the community's interest.

its basicly a freeze glitch happens all the time.

it's funny.. I have a vid where the view count stayed between like 20 and 25 for days.. then the next day all of a sudden it's at a count of over 200.. never did understand the big jump after the small start :)
