I'm a bit worried that YT could drop the hammer on this. Last week some of you noticed a big jump in views (1000+ a day). Well, go to insights, look at the viewers per day graph and check unique viewers. You will see that YTJS was fine and then there is a period where all views are coming from the same viewer. At least thats what my insights is telling me.

Same here but its the same thing on all my videos; even the ones that aren't promoted on JS so I'm thinking its an insight problem and not JS...

Yeah, what I'm thinking with the unique viewers (I'm assuming you mean right at the end of the graph) is that YouTube doesn't update very quickly, because if you go back to the insight a couple of days later, you'll notice no drop.

No, as long as you don't delete your video from Jumpstart it will get more views on a daily basis, forever.
That being said, does anyone else notice that more and more videos get stuck at 300ish views when using Jumpstart?
Its a youtube problem, i've emailed Peter about it. I thought YT had shut down JS but from the looks of it, everyones got this problem.

chakde, as for making money off this, I'd say the real usefulness comes in just getting your video ranked higher than normal. Its really good if you don't have a lot of subscribers that would watch your new videos normally.
None of the JS traffic is targeted so don't expect any clicks off that but with time once you start building real views, that is where you can make some money. YT isn't as easy to make a buck with as the good old days but if you have a good video with the right keywords, you can at least make a little something off of this and a product like JS will pay for itself.

untargeted video views = traffic. traffic = rank and placement. rank and placement = exposure. rank and placement + SEO/SMO = targeted exposure. target exposure = targeted traffic. targeted traffic = MONEY.
Sometimes it takes a day to enter the system. All mine are still counting.

No JS has been disabled pretty much since the 20th. A few views have slipped through but it's pretty much a done deal.
some people were trying to post thread on youtube stating all videos were frozen and then positng the the threads here but that just wasnt the case.
There was a one day period on the 20th - 21st where vid views slowed for all videos. This was when youtube was making the changes that knocked out JumpStart and many of the other traffic services that were working.
SO what is that means? JS not working anymore, YT WON the battle?
JS going to refund the money?
Insight is clearly fucked up. I wouldn't say JS is done for until YT is actually operating normally. This drop in uniques clearly shows that view numbers are inaccurate and ALL my videos are like this. Not just JS promoted ones.
