When scrapping for posts, in a post of type "Video", what is the difference between videoViewCount and videoPlayCount??

Hi!
Play count is officially supposed to replace View count https://creators.facebook.com/introducing-views-to-simplify-content
IG deprecating it, so counter still appears sometimes somewhere, as in your run https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/GWBvTLNr2kib1lvcN/items?clean=true&format=json
The actor is just following actual data from IG, so as long as values are presented, we should save them.
I will close the issue now, but if there is anything else we can help with, please let us know.

p.s. View counter in the latest posts-videos in profile details is still displayed, but no longer valid. Please scrape regular full posts to get the play counter instead.
