- Description
The official documentation states that videos uploaded via the YouTube API video.insert endpoint should cost 1600 quota points, instead they consume 100 (https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/determine_quota_cost). This was true both before and after my API Client was verified and granted access to the sensitive scope Youtube.upload.

Most importantly, the videos garner no views compared to manual uploads. I have a YouTube short video up now for more than 48 hours and it has 1 view - from myself. All manual uploads by this point had over 200 views and a couple of likes. This has happened every single time I uploaded videos through the API both before and after verification. They are publicly visible on my channel yet are hidden from the algorithm.

The C# code I am using to upload videos is also from your official documentation (https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/code_samples/dotnet)

- Expected result
The quota should be as stated in the documentation, and API uploads should have similar reach as manual uploads.

- Is it 100% reproducible?
Yes, it happens every single time the video.insert endpoint is used
