Do embedded YouTube video views count (am using YouTube Lyte without API)?

    I have been using your plugin without adding any API info, and it seems to work fine in reducing load times.

    However, I am curious if visitors to my blog who click on embedded YouTube videos count as actual views on YouTube? The embedded videos are smaller in size per my preference selection on the plugin.

    Per YouTube/Google, views on embedded external videos count as actual views on YouTube. However, I am not sure if the same is true after you optimize the embedded videos using YouTube Lyte (without using the API).

    Does the crosstalk between platforms still happen in order to update the YouTube stats?

    Thanks.
