ELI5: How can a link to a YouTube video on reddit have 4,000+ upvotees, while YouTube says the video only has 1,000 views?

View counts are delayed to prevent people from figuring out what truly counts as a "view", so that it's hard to design algorithms for artificially inflating view count. Likes and dislikes are not delayed however. So in your example, the video does have at least 4,000 views, they just haven't shown up yet.
