Dealing with drops on panels

So let's say I order 20,000 views. Wait 2 days then order 20,000 views again with the exact same service for the exact same link. Let's say for this example I start with 1,000 views on the video before both orders.

If 5 days later both orders drop and I'm back at 1,000 is it fair for a panel to refuse the second refill because the "order is below start count" even though I used the same service ID for the same link? Is that not just stealing my money?!

Yes, all these sites steal money from you i think. (if they don't they offer inferior bot views only) However I think you're the one to blame. As you are the one happily giving them money for a promise to cheat the algo (badly lol) and buy shortcut fame. lol if there wasn't people like you wanting to cheat the system, then scammers wouldn't be able to take your money.

I don't get scammed by any social panel, as I believe in getting views through my talent, creativity and digital skills. So i just let things happen natually, and I work on all that counts. Content. Maybe you don't have these? You should develop them, instead of paying trying to get famous quick.

I own a famous music platform which I will not name. It's important that in the first 7 days releases with famous major artists have a lot of views otherwise the organic views suffer.

I have a video for example where I bought 500,000 views the first 7 days then it did 1.2 million organic so it's not just talent, it's image.

All the major record labels do this for their artists so we have to be competitive.

Yeah, that’s really unfair, if both orders dropped, they should refill each one separately. Refusing the second one just because the views went below the start count is basically a scam

Yeah, that's a classic panel move. Most of them define 'start count' as whatever the number was *before your very first order* for that specific link. So if you had 1k initially, they'll usually only refill up to the total you ordered, but not below that original 1k. It's how they protect against infinite refills if a video naturally drops or gets hit hard. Always read their terms on refills. For next time, consider letting an order fully process and stabilize before adding more, or try a different strategy if you need to scale up fast.
