Slightly Concerned

I don't know for sure, but it does...look like you have been botted (lack of comments/likes/dislikes is usually a telltale sign). But also, I noticed in your tags, you've tagged 'Annoying Orange, Nigahiga, Smosh, Sex, Jenna Marbles' etc. So it could be that people clicked on the video thinking it was somehow related to them. When they seen it wasn't, they click away. It's not really a good idea to tag tags that are unrelated. It upsets some people. Anyways, hope it works out for you .

Ahh yea i didn't think of that, i spose i should try and find some more revelvent tags, i just couldn't of much beyond comedy so i just started adding things i thought would help. It can't all be bots because I have gained quite a few subscribers from it but I know a large quantity of the views came from virool's free trial thing that apparantly i signed up for but i didn't even knwo who they where or what i did. They replaied to my complaint email telling me i had signed up for a promotion offer with them :/

Anyways i think this thread can be closed now I know what happened so i can stop worrying.

Well virool is legit so they're legit views. I'd still ask virool if they actually did it though, directly by a number on their website or something as it sounds like it could be a scam. Other than that... free views? Congrats

Ooooooh okay, so it was Virool. Okay that's good. But yeah, it's also not allowed to tag things like that if you don't talk about it. Just try and stick to the Vlog, Vlogging, Comedy, etc type tags Then you can't get into any trouble I don't have the power to close threads lol sorry.

There are services where a large number of people's videos play for about 15 seconds and then move onto the next one in the queue and each of those "views" you give another video earns you a credit, which allows you to put your video in the queue. It could be that - not exactly botting, but definitely still crap.
