I'm pretty sure Youtube has cracked down on the whole faking views thing but back when Donald Trump etc came out it wasn't so strict.
They did and major labels were caught doing it like even for Justin Bieber. However, this shyt still goes on but they will prob crack down on it even more now that billboard and shyt are starting to take streaming into account.

is it possible, yes
is it happening, no

Because only way it's possible is doing it manually
so nobody doing it because you can't automate it

only way to automate it would be to create a script that keeps hitting a page but every every hit it dynamically changes ip addresses
there's not enough such ip addresses to do that

Shut up and speak when you're spoken too

Why are you guys upset he might have tricked a major label to overpay him for his label?

Hate him or love em, he got a lot of money out of a major. So if you think he faked views on Youtube or not, he tricked the label. Not anyone else. At least not anyone who has a brain.

nope, you're wrong. I've worked with companies that have done it and have done it for people. Just take the L you don't know what your talking about.
I explained why I don't think it's possible and I'm fairly technical
you have explained nothing, you only said you worked for a few companies which may or may not be true

you have no idea what you're talking about. And Mac Miller was faking his views. He was paying up to 4000 just for one video.

You're not as "technical" as you think you are of you don't know views can be faked. Mac Miller pioneered it back then. Dude had 40 million views on songs and shyt like he was fukking Justin Beiber or something

Take a visit to blackhatworld.com. There are many people there who will sell you these services.

It's honestly the biggest crock of shyt to say that "I've never really had a budget up to this point" . . BULLSH!T

His career was funded by daddy, and he was being managed by the same people who managed Wiz Khalifa. At no point was he struggling to get in the studio or feeling any resistance in getting his project together. That comment disgusts me

stop snitching nikka

He gave the same reason Jada Kiss and many other rappers have given a million times....:mjlol:

He signed because he is tired of the grind...He ain't hungry any more...He just wants to sit back and let somehow else do all the grind work...

The good thing is that he built his fan base and identity independently, so I think the Majors will give him more freedom to do what he wants to do, because they know it works for him...

Everybody is in a win-win situation...The fans get the Mac Miller they expect, and Mac Miller and the Majors make more around the world...
if you think a major lets anyone do ANYTHING they want... then both you and him are confused

yea they'll give you a little leeway... but when they put up 10 mil... they want 30 mil back... and if your first single ain't charting like they think it should... you either never coming out.. or you will be handed a "hit" with a premade hook and a-list labelmate on there with the quickness.... and if you flop... well you'll be handed an album full of them



is it possible, yes
is it happening, no

fam just google youtube page views for sale.... period


yea youtube is cracking down... but just as fast as someone creates a wall, a crook is creating the way around it

it's still out there, and it's still prevalent.. i'm guessing they won't say how, cause why would you let them steal your idea... but it's still out there.. fake it till you make it, still goes on from major label to dude at the gas station... you can get 1000 for 50... or 1000000 for 5000

better article from two months ago http://www.vocativ.com/tech/internet/justin-bieber-journey-world-fake-youtube-views/

The Google crackdown hasn’t completely wiped out the phonies, though. One of the people I spoke with along the way, “Robert,” the anonymous founder of YouTube view vendor comparison site BuyViewsReview.com, told me, “Companies are not only trying to top one another, but also trying to stay one step ahead of YouTube.”

He continued, “The bots watch other videos (not just the client’s video), they like, dislike and comment. They even use proxies/TOR to create a unique identity for each individual bot that’s very hard to detect.”

To understand the cat-and-mouse game, I also talked with “Martin V,” the owner of the YouTube view site 500Views.com. “You can make upwards of $1,000 day by selling views,” he said. “[The market is] very hot [because] the potential to make so much is money is so high. …It’s a very dog-eat-dog competition out there.”




y'all really gotta stop believing in this music industry fairy tale bullshyt.... yes there are plants.. yes websites, radio, magazines will put you on for a set dollar amount... yes i could have 10000000 followers, likes, comments and views by june without anyone real watching... yes there are favorites... yes there is payola
