If you added for example
“video hosting platform” is a phrase where you don’t know only word HOSTING
and then review it and give it a mark “Know” I wouldn’t count it as a new word that you know.
Why does it work that way?

Yeah, phrases do not count in Known Words stats, only individual words. That is how it always worked.

why a phrase cant be divided into words and added to the library?
thanks
I mean what is a point to make a phrase if it doesn’t count?
Counting phrases in the “Known words” stats doesn’t really make sense. You can still select and save any individual word from a sentence, make a LingQ of it, or make it Known. That way it will of course count.

I can see a case for this for certain idioms and phrases (that require a specific context) to make sense.
You might not know every individual word, but you know how to use a particular phrase in its appropriate context and therefore want to mark that phrase known.
However, I also see the logic in keeping the “marking known” feature to individual words, even though LingQ is about learning with context and phrases are just a form of context (if “over-simplified”).
