Add to view count of video when watching it (Peertube, ...)

In my experience, watching a PeerTube video doesn't contribute a view when using NewPipe.

PeerTube has an API to allow a client to add to a video's view count. Currently, a view is counted after 30 seconds of viewing, or 3/4 of the duration if less than 30 seconds long.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Find an unpopular test video, so that it won't receive views from others while you test.

2. Watch 30 seconds of the video (or 3/4 of a less-than-30 second video) using NewPipe.

3. Wait until the turn of the hour (e.g. 5:00, 12:00) for the view count to update and then check the updated view count.

Expected outcome: View count has incremented.

Related, but there is a significant distinction I wish to discuss:

Supplying a view is unnecessary, so not including this feature is certainly justifiable, but I believe it provides no authentication (beyond IP address and similar metadata which is already supplied by receiving the video).

The only significant information it would give, as far as I understand, is that you watched a decent amount of a video and therefore your IP address may be engaged by it. If implemented improperly (immediately supplying a view instead of waiting for 30 seconds watched) then it would provide little-to-no information the server did not already know. Then again, implementing it improperly may be unethical...

@Stypox What about other services? In my opinion, since Newpipe is a facilitator, not a video hoster, views should be added to all services.
