Did youtube updated again their views system? it seems like

We track when YouTube updates views to our clients videos very closely and they're not updating like usual.

So 1 of 2 things has happened.

They've changed their system or they haven't updated views.

We'll see in the next 24 hours for sure.
 
my hope is that this is like an temporary issue on their views system due to "cosmic panda" and that it comes back to normal in a question of days.
 
real talk though... I'm seeing some music videos and they're freezing at 2 views. I know for a fact that 30 ppl just clicked on a music video in that 1 second, and the view is frozen at 2. YouTube did do something. The views are just frozen, they're coming in, but they're not LiveTime updating.


As for djlobo talking about the autoplay function on his channel...

that shit don't work cuz Auto-Play views on Channel don't count as a video view even if you're playing it there, u gotta get them to click on the video bro.
 
i havent see or noticed any changes in youtube.Have you noticed?i go to youtube everyday but it looks still the same the videos the settings is all thesame.
 
Hopefully this is just a hiccup in their system, from our stats it looks like the change occurred 21 hours ago. Sometime on 7/11.

Lets hope, i noticed this "change" 46+/- hours ago.
 
Does anyone know if embedded views are counting, I understand people have to click the video to get the view but it would tell us if it's a change on YouTube or if their Views Servers are down or not updating.
 
i find it weird that this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2ci442ldKs
got shit tons of views at the start (200.000) 0 comments, and 0 likes, it got to infront of the page, i doubt a bit that youtube would sell the views even thought this is a tv show because it would look to obvious having it with 0 comments and 16 likes on a video with 200.000 so i would more bet that this is actualy an bug related with what is happening with our views as the video upload date is exactly the date when this started, to much coincidence all this facts?
 
I setup tracking on some of the top videos in the Charts to see if they're updating.

The first 300 views update fine, but that's normal to see.

I have noticed videos that have frozen view counts are getting comments so they're getting "real" views and the counter should be updating but aren't.. We're tracking the results.. Hopefully this is just a server issue on their end.

We'll find out soon enough :(
 
I think you're right because that video has over 2,008 comments/4,471 Likes and it's stuck at 302 views for over 24 hours. You couldn't comment or get likes if they didn't count as a view first.

That's good to see

YouTube is trying to stop people from using the several view exchanges systems that work right now.
I earn credits from several such systems. On one of the machines that I use YT gave an error message that my network made too many requests to them (only views nothing else) and asked me for captcha code. After entering the captcha, everything continued as normal for several minutes only to be asked for captcha again. They are blacklisting IPs that use viewing exchange sites and soon the exchangers wouldn't work. So, use they programs now, while they last, because soon they may stop working overnight.

On the other hand, I did not receive the error message from the rest of the ISPs I use.

P.S. Viewet views to credits ratio is horrible, something like 10 credits for 1 view (in a good day). But this is the good part of the system. The bad part is that it reveals the referrer as Optimized.com -> that is a site for YT services -> epic fail. People will see that you are using views exchange system for your video. So one word for Viewet - AVOID.

Damn wtf is going on. I just woke up hoping the problem would be gone, but everyone is still frozen, even partners.
 
This problem has nothing to do with exchange view services. Everyone'sview counter is frozen.
 
My views on 1 video hasn't changed for 2 days now. (and it's beyond the freeze mark, and I'm using u2bviews on it).
So there's probably YouTube updating again or something.

You usually only get those captcha's when you're using a proxy.

Maybe someone with a method, that works on the new system :) ?

If someone else can do it,
we can do it, too!

Your own PPV network would be a solution, but takes a lot of time to build it & some more time to gain a lot of user's.
 
Its a YouTube problem, look at the "most viewed today" there's tons of videos with 301 views.

Even people like RWJ who gets a mill views in a few days is on 301 views, with 52k likes..
