Look at the numbers....

How is that possible? Youtube error?

Why it's important? This stops it from being a Top Video.

Never saw that ever....


People really need to learn how YouTube works before snap reacting and calling it a conspiracy theory. "Undefined" pops up for me whenever I move my mouse over the ratings, then move it away and click outside, although it only does that about half the time. Go visit some more videos and try it, and you should get the same results.

For people confused about why the video has such low views, come back in 4-12 hours and check again. YouTube is well-known for having a slow update in the view count. When the counter updates and the video has the proper amount of views, you can then determine if his video is being censored or not by seeing if his video is in the Most Popular, Most Viewed, etc., lists.

It doesn't matter what the content is it should NEVER have its views frozen. I see very inflammatory and lewd content on you tube not frozen so why freeze this one.

Let it be known schrodingers dog supports censorship maybe you even think ATS should be shut down or flags and stars frozen too hmm all this sounds very good to you.


I know schrodingers dog dislikes Alex Jones, so him and I have a differing opinion, but you are being irrational. Like I just said, anybody who has used YouTube for more than a month knows about YouTube's laggy update system when it comes to the view count. It doesn't happen to just Alex's videos, but ALL videos that jump in view count quickly. I've had it happen to some of my videos, so I know about it all too well.

You are very gullible. They did the same thing with Ron Paul videos. Its so the story won't hit the front page sure they may adjust later when the interest has died down but by then the damage is already done to the videos exposure.

Exactly.

If the views were correct, it would be a top video. If they fix the views, tomorrow. Then it's chances are less... But I do not see this going away as intended... Too many witnesses. This video is a top video. Their manipulations of the numbers,will make even more people want to watch it.


And yes, 100s of complaints that their posts being deleted. People need to wake up. The comments are being deleted.... The view count is stuck...

I've never seen this happen ever, despite it being a "known youtube bug".

I wish. I could use my status as a YouTube moderator and gloat on Internet forums.

Not once.


Movies? Aren't streaming movies online illegal unless the copyright holder allows it? I'm not up-to-date with how movie rights work on YouTube now. It's a shame if this is the first time you've seen it, because I've seen it lots of times.

On the contrary, you're just ignorant (not stupid, although I know you know the difference). I have seen evidence in the past of YouTube showing favoritism and not allowing Ron Paul's or Alex Jones's videos on the lists. That's not what I'm arguing. If you visited any popular YouTube star's video within the first couple of hours it has been uploaded, the views will sometimes stick due to the massive influx of people watching. I guarantee you that the counter will not be stuck for long.

Here, I'll give you all an example. Look at this user's page:

www.youtube.com...

See the latest two videos? They are at 318 and 341 views, respectively. Now, look at all the comments and ratings, and look at all the other views on their other videos. I can provide many more examples if you request and give me ample time to search.

No the counter won't be stuck for long i already said they will correct it. It will maybe be tomorrow or in a few days when the interest has died down nullifying the rush of interest in the video.

It is a very effective technique but in the end it will backfire because most people aside from yourself know the tricks that you tube engages in and this just confirms it.

Believe what you will but in this instance i think you are a little ignorant.

Edit: Comments indicted that the view count was at one point 800 and went backwards come on man you can only try and explain so much without looking silly.
