Never once did I ever think a person should be banned for saying something stupid. But what you said is so dumb.... it goes so far beyond the level of stupid... that I think this forum should change the rules just for you.
While you're at it, you might as well say "paying for backlinks is just a waste of money".
But do you have any idea how much money I've made thanks to fake likes and views? Or how much money I've made thanks to buying backlinks? Do you have ANY CLUE how much money other people have made? Or how big the market is? Its a MULTI MILLION DOLLAR industry. People spend millions and they spent that much money for a reason. Because they make millions in return.
I've personally made a few hundred grand thanks to video marketing. 1 week before Hurricane Sandy struck I put together over 150 hurricane related YT videos, and they weren't even great content cause I rushed them. Just shit like "if your home is flooded and your fucked in the ass then call this number XXX". Or "if you roof is caved in and your about to shit your pants... call this number xxxx". They were short, basic videos and right to the point (and no, I obviously didn't curse).
But I ambushed those videos with tons of views, likes and backlinks. The hurricane struck, and 1 week later I was ranking for over 40+ hurricane related keywords. Another week after that, I showed up for another 30+ keywords. In the 3 months that followed Sandy, between the months of November to February, thanks to fake likes and views, thanks to spam, thanks to all that shit, I got on CBS tv with my brother (the show "The Doctors"), and I made a little over $160,000 in commissions in only 3 months. I had a gold mine of leads coming in from those videos and I had virtually no competition the first 30 days.
So PLEASE. Don't tell me, and do NOT tell ANYONE that buying likes and views is "stupid". There are some savvy marketers on this forum... guys making 7 figures a year thanks to fake views and likes. And you have to be a special type of idiot do think its stupid to buy them. They get your videos ranked. They make people click. They get you traffic. And traffic = money.

lol. i did not have the authority to call him 'stupid' because i have never made 160k in even 1 year. in fact i have not made any money from youtube, but i do 'feel' it. i have had a little success with something else but i can see its nothing compared to youtube potential.
so how did the hurricane work? ".. call this number..?" i know one can promote ebook, amazon, or affiliate products, but how does "call this number" work? how did you get invited on a tv shows?
