Can YouTube Remove Views After They’ve Already Been Counted?

I admit, I have not been very consistent with my YT channel, but whenever I do post, I put a lot of effort and good content into my videos. Over the weekend I started recording again and published my video "Luxury Isn't Health" on Tuesday. By the end of the day this video had 27 views.

The following day I expected more views, but instead YT showed that this video had only 7 views! - WHAT??? How did it drop from 27 views to 7 views???

I understand subscribers dropping, because people subscribe and unsubscribe, but "views" are a non-negotiable metric — once a view exists, it shouldn’t simply disappear the next day. How can this number suddenly go down? Any ideas? Has this happened to anyone else?
