85k views, Not a single monetized playback?

[David Mendez]

dude, you problem isn't bots. don't overcomplicate things.
i tried your channel vids - not a single ad showed up. you adsense is wither not connected to youtube, or you didn't monetize your videos (just because you have adsense don't meant all your videos are monetized, you have to ENABLE each one's ads separately). either that or some sort of 3rd party content match that youtube can't monetize for you.

Monetizing involves connecting to an adsense account (Which I successfully have, Ive made about 20 cents off my videos lmao. secondly, ALL my videos have the green money sign next to them in video manager, and when I hover over them it doesn't say "Under Review" or anything

When you yourself view your video, do you see an ad (instrean or truview that's an ad BEFORE or DURING a video)? Don't be using no Adblock now. Also getting to the dreaded $100 Adsense payout threshold is impossible unless you have millions of views. You want to apply to a network. They usually payout every month no matter what.

I after cycling through the videos I am getting like 1 ad every 10-12 plays =\ that seems kind of low.

I will consider the network thing with my tech channel because i really don't expect to make a ton of cash off of a Cat Video site. Unless I do something phenomenal... lol

YouTube or rather Adsense, doesn't play ads EVERY SINGLE TIME. It's a very involved internal formula but basically what it boils out to is there are set monetary limits for which ads roll. Mostly the less expensive ads will roll in evening time, and ones that make more money - trailers that come before - during daytime I believe. As far as network goes, you gotta consider what network will do good with vlog/comedy/animals. Gaming networks won't do. Theyll put out AT LEAST 2-3 times what Adsense alone does. They'll also lock you in for a while. The only free lunch in this world is in the mousetrap.

No, Just cat sites like showmecats.com, catvids.com etc.. But nothing that "promises views".

I've used the internet long enough to know that anything "promised" for free on the internet is an auto red-flag.

The thing that gets me is if this is indeed bots, WHY?
what's the point in "attacking" people's videos with bots and screwing ppl over on their views...

I could see if the video was competition for someone's viewers, but it's my FIRST voice over video... poorly made at that! lol.

I am not even annoyed, mostly astonished that it's so unregulated that you can do the equivalent of an "e-mail bomb" to YouTube videos and cripple them financially.

Okay then glad to hear, at least you still have the views
