YouTube's view counts update at a notoriously slow rate. It's not hard to find new videos with more likes/dislikes than views.

> new videos with more likes/dislikes than views

That doesn't mean that the view counter is slow. Views are only counted when you watch the video for X seconds (or percentage complete, can't remember) while you can like/dislike the video by going to the page, clicking the like/dislike then close the page before the view would even count.
