Do Youtube care if you spam?

**kimkils** · #1 (**permalink**) 03-08-2010, 12:47 AM

Ive commented on YT for ages now and i get all these threatening channel comments that theyv'e reported me, blah blah blah... get a life... get a job (lol)... etc etc I find it kind of amusing, but also a little tiny bit worrying.

I mean if Youtube wanted to they could find out who i am... they are owned by the big G... so what do you think, would YT track you down or have they got WAY more shit to worry about lol ?

Not really.. at most you would get a C&D letter first

just wondering, which commenter do you use?

Your affiliate link leaks more info about you than your IP I think.

I guess it's almost impossible for them to focus on individuals... So i don't think they care much...unless you're doing something reeeeeeeally big !

Yea, you could lost your CPA account and any subsequent owed funds and yout YT account could be banned...

No big deal, you can always start again. Thats the world of BH.

why are people content with just allowing their tracks not to be covered then they get banned, from their cpa accounts and what ever else. And just dont mind starting over again. Cover your tracks learn from your mistakes. USE PROXIES. Its not about making 2k a day then getting banned at the end of the month. Its about making 2k a day for 6 months and cashing out a method.

Thanks for the responses, proxies aren't foolproof - they often spill your IP then google would simply cross reference that IP to your google account (if you have one?) or maybe you spam links to a website which has adsense then they find out who you are that way. Many ways they could find you..

You'll be fine man, they are not going to go after each individual... Too much time!

**gphxguru** · #13 (**permalink**) 03-08-2010, 10:07 PM

I read a lot about youtube commenting but i have rarely seen a post about someone who got a a C&D letter or their cpa or affliate account banned... So i wonder if some people here have experienced it ?

**dsnking** · #14 (**permalink**) 03-09-2010, 10:16 AM

yah..dun think YT will spend time doing that..lol..

lakers302 · #15 (**permalink**) 03-09-2010, 10:24 AM

they just care if your a big player..

**rocsk79** · #16 (**permalink**) 03-09-2010, 12:11 PM

just commenting? anyone would care. Your not providing any value to their site.

your just basically saying "hey you on this site....go to THIS site instead"

If u use perfect proxy and right bot then YT never find ur.

I agree, we should think long term not simply hit and grab tactics.

Use your head people. Stop this "oh it's cool man, they don't care" attitude. It's crap. Of course they care. They care a LOT.

If you repeatedly poke a lion it will probably ignore you at first, but that doesn't mean it's safe to keep poking it.

I agree with what you've said about how repetitive acts can be the "straw the broke the camels back" but comparing youtube commenting to CS'ing isn't fair, commenting on YT isn't causing them to lose any revenue (you could argue that people will leave the site, but only temporarily, this is negligible) but CS'ing directly costs the company money and is a problem to them.

All interesting points to consider, and all those that think just because they're behind a proxy they're safe, don't feel too comfortable, i believe you should never be complacent and always ready to move, as as for the big G - they know lots about everybody!

Some times ago I uploaded like 1000-500 shitty vids per day for 2 weeks from my home IP but youtube didn't even call me!

Don't worry google don't try to track any spammers they just want to find new ways to avoid spamming.
