I've Got It
INRSINFSI!! So I got on youtube today and saw my most recent video went up 100 views overnight. And now it just keeps going up!! My videos arent that popular, i mean I know there arent like 3 people watching it every minute. So i'm super angry! Ugh!!
I read the thread about botting but I still don't really know what I should do. I took off monetization.
I also just got a dislike on the video (my first dislike, not sure if good or bad) but I dont know if someone did that just because they didn't like it, or because its growing fake views or something.
Should I just take the video down?
 
Ok no panic, Batman is here to help you out. I don't think 100 views are botted. Maybe your video just got shared on someone facebook page with 1000 friends. 100 views is a little low to be botted. Just wait a few days to see the analytics if everything seems ok, than you just got 100 views in 1 night. Sometimes it happens.
 
But see the thing is, after like 3 minutes, if I refresh my video manager (not the video, just the video manager) it has gone up like 3 views! I'm no rocket scientist, but I really don't think there are a bunch of people watching this.

Well stop refreshing, just kidding.
I have the same effect when I refresh in the morning. For some reason it has the old views stats in the cache or something like that. and when I refresh it somethimes goes up with 30. If that happens after each time you refresh turn monetize off. Otherwise I don't really think your video is getting botted. Maybe you just have a viral video.
 
It's too early to tell if it's been botted. Your stats show that it's only been shared once via twitter. There haven't been any facebook shares/links posted.
When the youtube analytics finally catch up, go in there and see what the country of origin is for these new views-you should be able to tell right away if you've been botted by that information. Kinder Eggs have a cult following so it's completely possible you've lucked out and appeared higher up in the search or as recommended-though those are usually accompanied by a few comments/ratings. If you get past 1000 views and the watch time plummets, then I'd be worried. For now, just wait for the data to come in before you jump to any conclusions.

You can search all the videos with that thing? That's very usefull. How can I use it?
 
I'm pretty sure if it goes above 301+, so 1000 views yet not many comments or likes then it's most likely botted.
