Heidilow/Trevor Rieger EXPOSED!! by Channel Reviews This guy is pretty good - his videos about other youtube channels are always entertaining -- this one is more a sleuthing video so i thought people might like it. I'm not sure I ever saw any videos from the guy he is exposing, but i'm sure we made more than a few people say "who the hell is nikki bower" last week: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvD0DVGmiE4 |

The only thing sadder than the fact that somoene actually professionally attends tv show tapings and was clearly extremely happy to be photographed with Jenny Jones... is the fact he actually attempts to CREATE utubedrama with elaborate multi-user schemes. I am dumbfounded at how much of a life he must not have and am seriously wondering how he supports himself financially.
(And one quick WTF- winekone, one of the top youtube users of all time, created a new video on Jan. 24. It's still his most recent and it's been 9 days now. So how many views do you think Mr. 9th most subscribed of all youtube (8th if you discount idiot miaarose) has for his latest video? 5,924. Yes, 5,924. WTF? Did all his viewers suddenly get sucked into a demon vortex or something?!)

I comically remember Heidilow as the guy that tried to 'out' the NoHoGirls & the WeHoGirls a good month after smashing made his discovery and I released my video. I like the sleuthing, but I think the logical conclusion that Heidilow's political beliefs should cause someone to disregard any of his other points is kind of broken. Personally, I sort of buy Heidilow's YourTubeNews\miarose connection.
Wow, I've heard talk of this miarose, but 4th? really? for a musician? I'm not usually one to accuse someone of number boosting without any solid proof, but that does seem a tad unrealistic. I sort of hope it is all just an experiment to prove that you can manufacture fame via YouTube and at the end they will show how broken the system is. I doubt that is the case though.
As far as thewinekone, his views aren't that much out of line with other top YouTubers like geriatric1927 or renetto. Maybe being at the top doesn't necessarily mean you will always get 100,000+ views.

I've noticed the view counters getting stuck on some videos recently. For instance they'll have twice as many comments as views, and refreshing the page doesn't change the counter.
The counter getting stuck on an early LG vid was supposedly what made Danielbeast so upset that he decided to make the "Grillz" video. A character motivation that to this day makes no sense.

This is nothing new. The time it takes for a youtube view counter to refresh is anywhere from 4 to 12 hours in my experience.

but wouldn't the comments refresh rate be the same?

No, I don't think so, but am not sure. I think the fact that comments can outnumber views implies that one refreshes regularly and one doesn't though.
