Maybe if we make it look as if all the views aren't just coming in from an unknown location they will start counting them.
Just a thought, I'll try it tomorrow. What do you guys think, or has any one tried something like this?
I think the idea of simulating real traffics been raised a few times, but I don't know if anyones made a working model.
IMO, if someone has the time, and ability, I think it's worth a try at the very least, but I do think the first thing to discover is how blanket these proxy bans are.
All someone, who has the time, needs to do is get a list of proxies (they can even start with their TI list), go to a video, with their browser, and load the video, whilst running on a proxy.
Get a short video, with no regular current traffic, watch it maybe 20 times, with 20 good proxies, if they register the views, then proxies are getting through, if they don't then that's the main issue to be overcome.
IF YouTube are blacklisting large numbers of proxies, no matter how, that's the first, and primary problem to overcome, because that makes life very different, and we'd be looking for a very different solution.
I haven't got time to do that right now, but it's really the first step that needed to be taken.
From what I've read people have posted very differing posts about proxies, I keep reading many people saying they are having troubles, but no ones nailed it down yet, are proxies (for the main part) working, or not?
