I dont know about it just starting today because ALL the videos that I have put up with fast views are down, with several different carriers so I think the worst may be over with but who really knows. its youtube they can do whatever they want.

Is anyone experiencing more and more videos being deleted?

Only one of my videos have gone down, I do pretty much the same stuff on all my videos so no idea why more aren't being taken down..

This is crazy I never thought I'd see the day.. I had several videos taken down today as well.. If this is the case then negative video seo will take effect..

The doomsday is not on december 21.... its today.

mine are all safe so far...

Can you guys who got your videos taken down post some details about the videos?

How many fake views were sent?
And what type of views were they? (mobile,"normal",time retention,etc.)

All my videos are up and running. Good thing I use different method than anyone else here.

any SYV user hawe removed video?

A few videos i sold 100k views for have been taken down i used fast views for these and they were normally over delivered by 50k

also some other videos where i did less then 25k views were also taken down those views were also fast views. So it looks like the fast views are the ones burning poeple

also i used 2 providers and they both have videos that have been removed

which method is the one you're calling "fast views"?

my provider use to catergorize them as 5k -250k views a day

on my channel i have about 150 videos, i've botted them all using 'Fast Views' from u2bviews (about 4 million views), various fiverr sellers (about 1 million views), facebook embed method (about 3 million views) rtsp views (500k). No videos lost yet... but they're all original content with lots of links from other sites hopefully that helps?

I did lose my partnership (that I had for over a year), so I'm not sure how risky my account is

I got fucking owned today, lost vids that were ranking for some sick keywords! I'm pretty sure it has to do with views. God damn I also spend a lot of money on views ugh

original content? did you have adverts on the videos? or any monetized links?

The one video i had removed was a video that been up for over a year with less than 500 views. I sent 4000 to it via the SYV software in November and it got pulled down today.

u2bviews looks sketchy you really used them and it worked no problems??

well i did lose partnership but never hada vid removed! I'd like to know what all the deleted videos were? did they look like spam?

Nope, mine was a legit video. (Other than the views and shizz >.>)

all mine were music videos :-( all channel owners owned all rights

shit i put 2 million on a music video parody, at the end of september, they gonna find me, they gonna get me

All my clients are up and coming musicians and what not so they are all really devestated that there music videos have been erased. some of these were there only copies

Have any of you guys actually lost a channel yet?

Cause some people have lost more than one video even though 'Should your account be found in violation of our Terms of Use #4 Section H again, your account will be suspended without the possibility for appeal.'

Youtube is playing a dangerous game; if my videos are down, I'll simply get my competitors videos down as well and then re-upload my own videos again. Either ways I'll end up keeping my same spot on first page, not sure if they realize this.

I am not sure about this yet, as I have ordered views from BB ( 10K ordered and got delivered 102K) 2 days back for a particular video and at the same time ordered for Likes/comments/subs from skittles. That video is still up and I have ordered my 2nd batch of views from BB again for another video and I see that the views are just initiated few mins ago ( 100+ views as of now).

Will try and update!

People do this every day man. I had it happen to me today with 4 purchases totally $280.

Almost all were botted for the ones I had being done. Usually orders for 10k but some for much more up to 3mil even. They were all done very quickly, but were not mobile. They were ad-based.

I just wish these providers would at least get back to us.....

I had 3 people contact me that lost multiple videos. None of them have lost a channel yet, but all have lost about 3 videos and I have worked on over 20 videos for 2 of these people.

Because of what happened today?!?

They have so much data to munch in San Bruno that they can definitely establish some solid behavioral patterns with a certain precision. But it's never an exact science and chances are that -like a lof of other countermeasures- they are temporary. Maybe they're testing for xmas or some shit following suit of the disavow tool... Dunno. Only thing I can say is that it CAN'T be *this* retarded in the long run. If it's bound to stay, no worries, I'll have ALL my competitors out of the game with 12-view videos very soon. And ehm a lot of them :P Truth is they don't really know what to do anymore.

I look forward to reading some of the big boys input on this update..

I think they're just doing it to put the current sellers out of business, hurt their reputation and make people think that artificial views=ban; it can't work long-term just like panda updates, it's a good strategy when applied periodically for short durations.

Yes it seems like they are really trying to hurt the credibility of SEO companies especially with the statement made about hiring companies to deliver traffic. Its clear this isn't just some sort of system maintenance but also has a clear corporate agenda. Our services take away from there ad revenue and clearly they have started to notice

I lost some videos too, but still got alot... i cant understand whats happening since they are not deleting everything, just some random

Agreed 100%. Their smart hiccup method (same for mobile views if you were playing the game some time ago) is getting a little old though, js... It's not like there's millions of ways to prevent cheating YT, it's really a BUNCH of variables in the whole game, period. And as the old saying (nah it's just my theory or should I say thesis? :P) goes, who got the IPs owns the interwebz...

no one understands whats actually happening

I got 10+ youtube videos ranking 1-3 for their keywords medium-high. All still there,no purchased views,never purchased views those have always been poison. I do however always purchase likes, has always been a safe investment. Comments have got me banned before too.

Sorry to be so vocal on the topic and replying every other post, but nah views definitely haven't been poison at all, not even close: I've had a lot of videos that went viral / semi-viral with worthless views alone and the funniest thing is the bots / ppl snooping on upcoming trends duplicate them. That I've always found kinda cute So that's royal bs about views being poison, nuff said We're all just having the equivalent of a midlife crisis with YT where nobody knows what's up atm

Everybody Listen !!! Let's now all of us buy on fiverr 1 gig per Gangam Style clip , we will see what YT will do. Its only 5 $!! I just saw on google forums that YT delete many videos/accounts from people which never use mobile views !!!

Edit
I just bought 1 gig for Gangam Style
