There's a word to describe that behaviour which the
geeklog filter won't let me use...

The viewcount on my video is frozen around 300 views. What's
going on?
YouTube employs proprietary technology to prevent the
artificial inflation of a video’s viewcount by spam bots, malware
and other
means. We validate views to ensure the accuracy of the viewcount of all videos
beginning with the first view. This
validation process becomes publicly visible
when the viewcount reaches 300. At this point, the viewcount may slow or
temporarily freeze until we have time to verify that all further views are
legitimate. Rest assured that the views system is
working as intended, and that
the viewcount will update as soon as the system has verified the legitimacy of
the views.
Other Issues
Below 300 views they don't check. I know
because I get two numbers, first the total number of clicks, or
viewers who
close the page after a few seconds checking it wasn't what they wanted, and
under the View Stats
function I am shown only the complete fully viewed
totals.
Oh, and I just got caught by another YT twitch. I can no longer
sign in with my YT nym. I am forced to use the email account
name. Hence I may
be forced to create another email acct to keep my affairs separate. Then when I
get to Manage my
Videos I am harangued by a splash screen demanding to
know why I am not using said email account name to identify
my videos. I'm
starting to wish the Mayans had been right...

Probably 80% of it is commercial ads, crappy vids no one watches, and other
useless junk. That said, some stuff is amazing, but you won't find it by looking
at view counts.
View counts? Going viral? Talk about ego stroking. View counts are obviously
bogus.
I'm sick of the whining. If you don't like Youtube, go somewhere else.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
