Thats not at all where I was going, just have a niggle in my brain for little details and math.
In your video you said 80k views is a salary, so in my mind that set of calculations, and it didn't add up.
Concerning your question about views of South African videos. I think you are on the right track with the geographic location idea. I don't think your video is blocked per se, BUT I am pretty sure YouTube shows videos that are pertinent to a user, so if a user is in the states, it will rate the American videos higher for him, than a South African one, and thus would put South African videos lower on a list of suggestions, or even a search.
You would have to reach a critical mass of views/subs in order to surpass that barrier.
