Things people do to show you their YouTube video
“Have you ever watched a video with 100,000 views on YouTube and thought to yourself: “How the hell did that video get so many views?” Chances are pretty good that this didn’t happen naturally, but rather that some company worked hard to make it happen“
YouTube video optimization is now a market in itself. Read this article on TechCrunch and find out how it’s done. The reason why I write this article is not to make the TechCrunch article popular but to express how all this “video optimization” is beginning to get increasingly frustrating now. YouTube simply isn’t as much fun as it used to be. It’s becoming increasingly harder to find good interesting content after landing on the YouTube homepage. I am often left wondering – “is THAT video really the most viewed video this week??”
Here’s an example of the “thumbnail trick” for making thumbnails more attractive and often misleading.
When will YouTube wake up to all this crap? Perhaps they just don’t care about their visitors anymore. As I read somewhere, it’s like a restaurant business in New York city… even if you put away each and every customer that enters your restaurant, you’ll still have enough of them to run your business. Something like that seems to be happening with YouTube.
And if you didn’t already know, YouTube video views (bot-made) are sold and bought at various Webmasters forums (in the scale of 1,00,000*x per a fixed amount)
