People that keep refreshing

Hey so I just uploaded a video and if u check it out, it has 137 views and only 2 likes and 1 comment. I was actually at the video manager when someone kept refreshing, so I saw the views slowly rise up, then hit 137 and then stop.

Do you guys have people that do this? I personally think it's annoying cuz it just makes the view:like ratio all screwed AND it looks like I'm the one that actually refreshed the video. I don't really think it'd be a problem with big channels (heck, I think it'd even help), but for small channels like mine, it does more harm then good. Opinions?

Most of us would give a f**k as it makes the video look bad to have allot of views and next to no comments or likes, also it will look bad when it's stuck at a certain number of views for months.

@OP: There's not much you can do to stop whoever is refreshing your video.
 
As long as it is not you, YouTube should not see an issue with it. It shouldn't cause the "301+ views" glitch anyway, as this is mainly caused when either the video is instantly popular, or the uploader (you) watches the video over and over

And if your video is monetized, then happy days :D It could lead to more advertising revenue for you (although it may not cash in for all of the views, it will most likely cash in for a fair few of them).

Exactly haha! You've just got to try see the bright side of everything concerning YouTube, as this cannot be helped. To get your likes up, you could also add an annotation to encourage viewers to like the video because of something happening.

For example: "Thumbs up for the new hairstyle!" or something similar... whatever is relevant to the video really :P
