YTMonster 2020 Review - bugs, poor support, less effective campaigns

[DKM]

This is my review of YTMonster. Been using the app for more than a week now.

Before I dive in to the cons, here are some pros I found on the platform.

Don't get me wrong, I liked YTMonster and I find it a very simple and easy to use.

Pros
1. It's quite cheap, FREE membership isn't that bad
2. Simple and clean UI, easy to use
3. You can set your campaigns to not allow "proxy" views (idk tho how it works, or if it works well)
4. You can geo-target where your views will come from
5. You can set how much watch time a user would watch your video
6. Exchanging views is quite flexible - browser, windows app, mac app

Cons
1. Views exchange session can be done through browser or a client app. Once you start a session, a window of youtube video pops up. Now here's the major bug in their Mac app: the video DOES NOT play automatically (unlike when you do via a browser session). Yet in the client itself, it assumes you have watched the video and counts it as a valid "exchange" and "credit". View Screenshot

2. Views session in a Mac Chrome browser crashes after ~10 videos. View Screenshot

3. Even the videos auto play in a browser session, once you pause the video, succeeding ones won't autoplay if you minimize the pop up. Yet the system will still continue to count it as a valid "exchange" and "credit". Of course, this is not too much of a problem especially for people who put this app on the background.

4. But obviously the system has poor protection against cheating therefore less effective campaigns. Which is true based on my tests. I initially tried to send 100 views to a video with <30 views. The system shows it already sent 89 views. Yet based on my Youtube stats, it's still far from that. If you set your watch time to less than 250 seconds, you can refund the credits you spent (maybe calculated based on the undelivered views, idk) but more than 250, there is no option.

5. Poor customer support. I reported points one and two above. They replied after >36 hours, only to tell me to try Firefox which can hopefully resolve the 'crash issues'. The guy who replied to me didn't specifically commented on the Mac client bug, but instead said, "we have verification system in place". I asked how exactly does it work... because clearly I have earned >7,000 credits without watching a single video. 5 days has passed and no one has responded to me.

6. After a campaign is delivered, there some sort of 24 hours window where the system verifies the delivery. I didn't find it helpful or works at all... because the views remained less than what the system claims it delivered even after waiting 48+ hours for Youtube to 'accept' it as a valid view.

I'm so disappointed. Was really excited ab out this tool. What do you think of YTMonster? Did you guys had good experience from it?

I didn't know about this service. As I read through your review above and looking at their website it does not look to be the solution for me.

Any tools, methods to grow a channel organically ?

Very interesting.

I'm also looking for that. That's why I had high expectations for YTMonster which looked a great from an initial impression. Unfortunately, it disappoints.

I have read a couple of threads on the forum. The idea I got is that it's really hard to rank in yt seo wise..

lol people are doing it go get credits,they will unsub later, even if they r subbed it will be dead subs.

but i have one doubt tho, dont such traffic exchnage views harm your adsense account etc

 

[Degen]

Ytmonster was good before they changed the point system. The only thing ytmonster good for now is likes it works (backlogged for triple the price sucks)

I didn't even bother to try it because I knew this is going to happen.

UPDATE:

The support guy replied to me a day after I posted this thread. I understand that they may be operating on a limited capacity due to the pandemic, but nevertheless five days is still long imo.

So according to him, the verification system works that after your campaign have finished, that is after its systems sees 100 views have been sent (for example), the verification system kicks in. It will run for 24 hours to make sure you get the right views you requested for.

As with my experience, I believe it was indeed working. Then once the the 24 hour verification is over, and still you haven't got the views you requested, the system will bring your campaign back to the queue and will be "live" again to earn views until such time all your views are delivered.

For me - the system has been running my campaign on this cycle for over a week now. I'm back to free tier; so it's very slow.

On a good side of things - the retention is great because you pay for how much seconds you wish viewers will watch.

This is a terrible service. Most of the time they will charge 3x of the points "to clear backlogs" in their system. The views you order are 2 to 3 times less of the final number reflected on yt. Also, one tricks i did back 2 years ago(i dont know if still works), i created multiple accounts with proxy. Log in to the first account, open the client so it starts earning points. Then log out of your acc( dont close the client). Then log in to the 2nd acc. Open the client and log out. Keep doing this for as many acc as you have. You need really good internet for this to works as it will run many clients and many yt videos will be opened at once. I did up to 6 as i had a poor internet. Usually the clients crash after 1 hour.
Sorry for the formatting as im on my phone.

@ziko12345 indeed a buggy system. There's no protection against "cheating" on earning the credits. If only they can fix it, it will be a great tool honestly.

rather Just create a private viewbot and invest into it. better than relying on 3rd party services

They might have fixed, i dont know as i have around 1 to 2 years im not doing it. The retention thing is what i like about it. What i dont like is when they charge 3x od the points, repeatingly. As i just read your post you said that they make the campaign active again if there are less views then you ordered, thats a really good thing. I might fo back and try it again. Another problem when i was using it was buying subs, and im not talking about bc they drop. I had 2 great channels, ordered 100 subs each. Bamm both got banned the day after.

lol indeed a nice method to get competitors banned by buying subs for them.

 

[DKM]

Right, very easy to do to attack a competitor. I suppose YT won't do that just like that?

Do you know a guide/steps to setup a viewbot?

 

[ziko12345]

lol indeed a nice method to get competitors banned by buying subs for them.

Well. You can also et their adsense banned by delivering views in a monetized video.
Ps : this happened to me 4 years ago in my own acc lol. It was a time when you could easily link youtube with adsensen

 

[niiks]

I wrote a script to get faster points and exchange them for subs, like, views but it was not worth. I started subs campaign and after a day it was completed but I didn't receive any sub to my channel lol. Ytmonster is a shitty service.

 

[sothisisnightlife]

Imagine using a views exhange service in 2020 LMFAO.

Either test views bought from this forum or buy google/youtube ads. I've been away from Youtube for a couple of years but now I'm back on the look for views that work from this forum. It sucks having to test and see what works but it has to be done, its time consuming and costly but it has to be done.

Same thing for Youtube ads as well, which is even more expensive but there are always tricks to keep the costs down. No one is going to hand over there tricks on being succesful on Youtube.

 

[T_O]

Also kinda disappointed of ytmonster. Used it when they had the old point system, was way better imo.
The costs are pretty high because of the "backlogging", which they are doing for 1-2 years. For a short time they had normal prices, but looks like they're backlogging again.
Even though you've already mentioned the cons, i might give it a try in the next few days.
