I’m not sure if what you’re describing is in anyway related to an ongoing issue others of us are experiencing but because you mention having zero views I thought maybe it was so I’m giving you a link to another thread that might also help narrow down your problem. There are multiple issues reported in this thread but the one I think you’re referring to starts around page 35. Hope this helps and good luck https://www.localguidesconnect.com/t5/General-Discussion/Known-Issue-Photo-view-count-not-updating/m-p/1967335#M582118
Just as a reminder, don’t forget when responding to others make sure to tag them (by writing @ before their names) in a post so they can receive notifications that you are communicating with them.
the issue about visualization is common to everyone in the community. Google is working on it and hopefully everything will be fixed before the end of this week. There is a long thread as shared by @Anonymousperson
The issue about Videos and editing is specific to your request, that’s why it is considered as a priority on responding to your post.
The two subject are not connected to each other, and need to be kept separated.
If an edit is not approved, is for the reasons shared by @MashaPS , not because there is a glitch in visualization.
Mixing all together do not help the users to understand why something happen
We are all doing what we can around this, while the Google product teams handle the technical issues.
Keep the feedback coming though. Don’t be shy.
If your counter still doesn’t move by now, after 2 days, as you add more content under your account. Then yes, there might be a glitch somewhere for you too.
Yes, there is definitely a glitch - the number of contributions are changing (f.e. I have 2 videos), but the Badges are not (Director badge stays at 0/3).
Hopefully everything is fixed soon, because the overall idea and project is very good :))
I am experiencing similar issues with videos. By now, I have uploaded four videos (all of them at least more than a week ago) but my badge count still only shows two. This problem is in addition to the known photo count issue.
