So I considering switching to Piped, but I'm wondering if the views (or other metrics) are counted on Youtube itself. I don't like the idea I'm kinda "robbing" the content creators I enjoy...

I think I know the answer but would like to know for sure.

direct support is always better than the fraction of a penny you give them through ads

True, and I'll probably join Patreon for select few, but it still feels a little dirty.
