lexus97 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/29/lady-gaga-youtube-views_n_2574182.html?utm_hp_ref=entertainment Sooooooooooo why r they cleaning up youtube? Lady Gaga has been stripped of 156 million YouTube views after the site cleared out stats it deemed dummied up by hackers and viewcount generators. The development comes one month after the YouTube pages of Sony and Universal lost 2 billion YouTube views, largely because YouTube decided that videos migrated to the company's VEVO pages were "dead videos". While a small portion of the views stripped from Sony and Universal were due to what YouTube calls "de-spamming the data," the vast majority were taken away as a result of Sony, Universal and EMI's decision to bet on VEVO. As NME notes, VEVO is owned by Sony and Universal Music Group. Other artists affected by YouTube's housekeeping include Beyonce, Michael Jackson and Chris Brown. At the time of the original clean-up, singer Leona Lewis lost 24 million views. In July 2011, Lady Gaga's YouTube account was suspended and promptly restored. Though Google (which owns YouTube) declined to comment, a notice on her channel read that it was guilty of "multiple or severe violations of YouTube's copyright policy."

EphraimAdamz Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I have no sypathy. The fact that they are trying to incorporate Youtube/Vevo into the billboard charts is pathetic. Watching a video also doesn't mean that a person liked it or is willing to purchase the song. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could say the same thing about radio. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EphraimAdamz Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I don't care either way, but how is it pathetic? You could say the same thing about radio. At least up until 2006 it was about listeners request, but now that rule has changed sadly. Also the Nicki Minaj "Stupid Hoe" video had millions of views in a day/week, but over 86% dislikes...... should it still qualify? You can also buy YouTube views..... Much more cons than pros involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more cons than pros involved Have we forgotten about radio payola? I don't believe Billboard has incorporated YouTube and Vevo to the charts yet. Last time I checked, they left them out of the equation for the moment. And this mess is probably why. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utopia Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Youtube probably got asked to do so by those 156M persons who watched her videos once they saw the pics of Her tits looking flatter than a pancake and sagging lower than the ones on Cleopatra's corpse. Have we forgotten about radio payola? I don't believe Billboard has incorporated YouTube and Vevo to the charts yet. Last time I checked, they left them out of the equation for the moment.
