about the comment rating, you can rate multiple comments on the same ip, the comment will show up with 15 thumbs ups but it wont get rated to the top even if it is higher than existing vids. I havent tested yet but i believe you can probly thumbs up 1 comment per IP so if you purchase 25 private proxys, you can get 25 thumbs ups on your vids and you should be golden.
I'm stil able to recomment and I do it manually
You're correct. Logging in manually, I was comment rating and posting repeat comments last night with no problems at all.
It does suck to manually do it, but it does work, no question.
lol look i just gave someone with a new comment thumbs up manually!

normally there are now three users who have more thumbs up than the second top rated comment lol
I am manually doing it right now, on a just uploaded heavy traffic partner video and I am having no problems.
YouTube that fuckin bitch. Why can't they just make it easy for us internet marketers?
Anyway, we are well aware of this glaring issue and we're working very hard to see what YTA can do to fix this. We could really use some intelligent suggestions to tweak YTA.
Bottom line is, we're going to make it work. If manually logging into youtube and voting the comment works then we can do it with YTA.
A patch will be released Monday MLA time. That's Sunday night to you all Westerners.
If you have some cool idea to bypass this/work around this/ new feature that will make it work, let me know. I'll closely monitor this thread.
P.S.
Don't be alarmed. YouTube has done several big updates in the past year and YTA always came out on top. I only ask for your patience while we're resolving this.
Another edit:
I failed to realize that we came out with an update with commenting today. It's the comment voting that really concerns me as my basic tests doesn't show a change. Must be another sneaky youtube algorithm. I'll update you once I know more!
update: youtube just updated the video player's layout as well.
with a fresh ip 1:1 you mean 1 thumbs up per comment posted correct?Man, this will f*ck up our code.
Nevertheless, I'll give those bastards 24 hours to complete their updates before I fiddle with YTA's code and start updating.
P.S.
I've done some tests with comment voting.. Seems like the votes that are counted are the only ones with fresh ip's. 1:1 account/proxy ratio might be needed in the future.
Anyway, I'm not yet done with it. I'll let you know more once we have released the patch.
are you able to successfully rate the comments up manually? and have it be shown at top rated comments from another ip/proxy?
becuase as of now i believe i can get as many thumbs ups as i want but it wont get to top rank if there all on same ip.
did you rate manually or with a bot?![]()
Also if you overdue comment voting on a single IP they will remove all votes from that IP regardless whether it was a manual or automatic comment.
Youtube somehow knows when you post a comment automatically, if we figure out how youtube detects an automatic comment we can bypass this.
It is not timer based as I have tested this with delays.
