Hello, wondering if anyone else is having this problem? My view count on most of my videos have been frozen for almost 3 days now, it's getting frustrating because my stats on SocialBlade.com are going down as a result of this. Anyone else having this issue right now, and if you are is there any way I can fix this?
 
I checked out your channel. You just barely have over 300 subscribers, and people rarely get more views than their subscriber count. Plus, while some videos have 100 views or less, the other videos have 300 views. This leads me to believe that you bot, open your video in your browser a thousand times, or do some other dishonest practice to spike your view count. I get my views honestly, so sometimes they break 300 views, and other times they don't. However, they never freeze. If you don't do anything I described, how do you normally get views, and do you know why some videos get more views than others in such a dramatic manner?

I don't bot or refresh, I run ads on a lot of my videos, through Adwords and virool. I've been doing it since I started an this has never happened.

I don't know exactly what's going on. I will tell you why views counts on videos freeze though: the video was opened more than 300 times, but YouTube, for one reason or another, does not consider them to be legitimate views. This is normally because it wasn't open long enough, as in it was only opened for two seconds, then closed, or the url it came from was untrustworthy, which is normally in the case of botting. The way to fix this is for them to naturally get 300 views that YouTube considers true views. I don't know what to say, that's the way YouTube functions. Sorry. :grumpy2:
 
Thanks for the help, I kind of find it dumb that they freeze my views when I'm paying Adwords, which is a google owned advertising company made for the purpose of advertising youtube videos, but whatever, guess there's not much I can do.

Like I said, I don't know what's really going on, but if you're being honest, my best bet is that people click on the ad, then click away almost immediately. This is either because they accidentally clicked it and don't want the ad so they close it immediately, something that we've all done before, or they legitimately clicked on the ad but realized it wasn't what they wanted, so they clicked away too early for it to count. The only other possibility would be for adsense to be providing fraudulent views. I highly doubt it, and it would be highly hypocritical, but Facebook got caught scamming advertisers out of money so I wouldn't discount the possibility. I don't know. That's all I've got.
