I Love YTtalk
This is from my realtime analytics in the last 48 hours...

So at first I was "YAY!" Then I went "wait..." because I usually get atleast 1 subscriber every 150-200 views. But from that sudden views.. I didn't get much subscriber and found it odd... If it is bots, should I be worried? What should I do?

It wasn't just on 1 video... It happened to multiple videos at the same time... I hope if it is bots.. YouTube would filter it out for me and not worry about it. Hmmm....
 
Really strange. Never saw anything like this. May be just in case use the send feedback link at the bottom of the YouTube page - just report suspicious activity and that you think your channel has been bottled.

Should I send one now or should I do it after the analytics gets updated? You know, just to pin point where they came from?

It is very strange indeed. Who would have the time to bot almost all my videos at the same time... Hmm...

You know - it doesn't hurt to send one now. It will take you only few minutes to write it and it is always better to be on the safe side. Anyway most probably at the end it will be some mundane reason - a website embedded simultaneously a bunch of your videos but still...
If I was you I'll do it - unless you want to hide something from YouTube staff and you do not want to attract their attention to your channel? :sneaky2:

:eeks:wait what? haha
I was messing around with the sending feedback part. Apparently they have that part where we could highlight the things that is suspicious. Yep it should be done as soon as possible.

Thanks for your advice. ^^
 
:eek: Let us know when you find out! Hoping those are real, high-retention views.

If it was me I'd probably wait sending feedback because you can always say "I've been waiting for the analytics before reporting"...?
