The hits do list the number of times someone on wikia has viewed the video - not from the source (so youtube or vimeo, etc). That information isn't something we can access via those content providers, so we are tracking it ourselves. I am not sure if those providers than take that information back into account or just list there the times folks have watched it there (I am guessing its the latter). Do you have any other concerns I can address?
