Youtube doesnt count you as a new view if you refresh or skip through or come back later the same day to watch the rest of the stream. It just adds to your total watch time.
You'll only count twice if you watch the full length of it, and still to a daily limit (I think it was 5, but as you need to watch the whole length, this is only relevant to short vids).

if you refresh (or skip through) the same long video multiple times, it only adds to your watch total. If you complete the total length in watched time, then it starts counting as a second view.

no there isn't, that anon read second-hand information from a fucking blog, which talks only about short videos and not streams, and headacannons his own bull shit for the rest.
The only official thing we have is that for short videos you count as a view if you watched for at least 30 seconds. But if you dont watch the full length, multiple refreshes will only add up to your total watch time.
Once you reached the full length, even with skipping or refreshing, then you start counting as multiple views, max 5 times a day to stop bots abuse.
It wont count you as multiple views with just 30 seconds views also again to stop the same bots abuse.

Pic from your own article. This blog is not the actual source for any of the info it is giving, by the way.
And it adds up not from just skipping, refreshing it still does the same. Then, when youve watched the entire length, it start counting for multiple views.
