Youtube Changed the game ???

Exactly. It could be a case that they don't give a fuck though. This is google after all.

Buying fake views/likes/comments/subs to take down a competitor's channel is a legitimate issue, and a very very very inexpensive method too. And what about a video that goes viral? Will YouTube delete that video too because it got more views than was "humanly possible" over a certain amount of time? WTF
 
Over the last few days I have seen several competitor videos vanish and many others have lost a huge majority of their views. I had actually ordered 5k views from one of the highest reputation providers here on BHW and that video ist still there. It's sitting at 3.3k views, though. No idea whether the provider stopped the views when the bans started or whether youtube decided to not count 1.7k of the views I got. Another video that I had bought views for on BHW halve a year ago is still sitting there with all its views. I guess it pays to make sure that the service you get s of the highest quality... I believe this whole thing was more a show of force than anything else. Just make it dangerous enough, so that the majority of people will shy away from buying huge amounts of views. The only thing youtube cares about in the end is justifying the money they take from advertisers. And to do that, they can't allow it to look like people are massively gaming the system. Because then advertisers wouldn't want to give their money to youtube. People who have not been to greedy, who have flown under the radar and made everything look natural, have not suffered. Just like with Panda and Penguin. Just like with the Facebook update.

Are people fools or what? their vid will get banned at the speed of light...
 
Im really pissed now. Three other youtubers have reuploaded my original video that was taken down and some of them are remixed and monetized. Meanwhile YOUTUBE had rejected my video due to copyright issues. I created the video. My crew and I recorded it and filmed it. I uploaded it. I boosted it for about 100K hits and then it took off on its own after that and was getting 10K hits/day. I applied to have it monetized and Youtube said no due to copyright issues. It was a SONG PARODY of the most popular video on youtube - all original lyrics and music tracks. Then two days ago it was removed because of the TOS issue.. meanwhile there are people profiting on my work and youtube has allowed them to monetize? What can I do?
 
DMCA is your friend :)

I'm a total noob with this DMCA. I've never had my stuff stolen before. Obviously I would rather not pay for the $199 but is the $10 service enough to handle something like this?
 
DMCA= Digital Millennium Copyright Act, You can submit a claim to YouTube stating that your copyrights are being infringed and they will usually take down the offending videos.
 
How do you appeal? The google appeal support page sucks................

Tapangoldy on fiverr screwed a few of mine, well only the ones I let him touch have gone down anyway and they are all recently done by him, all the rest of my videos are fine. His gig advertised he didn't use bots or software, which now seems untrue. Hopefully I can get my money back from him somehow through fiverr or paypal.

The banned videos are still showing up in my video manager with this message (Rejected (re-upload allowed)

I might wait a little bit to re-upload any videos yet tho, just in case they change things around again soon as I can't see how it will work out if they don't. Anyway fingers crossed for that.

Merry Christmas Everyone :)

Flag the video and report it to YouTube. Claim your rights for the video you have created. If you can prove that it is yours, those videos of yours that are re-uploaded by others will be taken down by YouTube.

Next time, put a watermark on videos you make. You can watermark it with your website or company name.
 
The last 6 months of IM has been a huge disappointment they are getting smarter.
