Dudes been running scripts since Myspace days. This is why they wiped out so many Instagram followers from Mason Betha's page and YouTube tries to verify views the best they can.

Worldstar did the same thing.

Hire people to refresh video pages to inflate the views. Or scripts like you said.

Thats why its more impressive when there is an actual homegrown movement that takes place.

Say what you want about oddfuture...but they had a genuine following that was not faked at all.

Its just more convenient.

They have more music to stream on there than any other site period.

Youtube is literally the wildest streaming service. The whole business premise of youtube is that google got more money than the record labels so the legal threats to take down work doesnt really work. Its a laugh.

Its funny cause as soon as a video gets taken down it reappears almost immediately.

Some videos ive seen once and never seen again though.

Ive been using youtube since 2005. I use that and soundcloud to find new music. Its amazing to see how many tracks i havent heard in ages are on there.

What I don't understand is how can YouTube legally make money off the music? Are musicians letting them put up their whole album? Does YouTube just pay a monthly fee to record labels? If they don't get a complaint they just leave the music up? What about music from an unsigned artist that gets uploaded by someone that has no connection to them? Who is getting paid off of that?

YouTube has a contract to pay royalties per view to record labels every time an artists music is played.

When it comes to unsigned artists, they're pretty much in the same space as content creators. Ad revenue is how YouTube makes money off these guys.

so if I uploaded a K-Rino song but titled it something else and the video got a million views YouTube would pay his label?

Exactly. They have an automated Content ID system that does exactly that. So any chances of nikkas thinking they slick enough to get millions of views ripping off an artists song(unless they're unsigned) aren't gonna get the cash.
