I just want to put into record a strange thing that happened on March 5, 2015 when the newest trailer for "Para Sa Hopeless Romantic" was just released. When I accessed it at 1:20 PM, the count was 650 views but those who liked the video was 923 & those who didn't like it was 4. I refreshed the video 20 times and actually watched it (you have to refresh it to be counted), so the count should have increased to 670 if I was the only one viewing at that time (which was highly unlikely I was alone viewing in one hour) but... IT REMAINED 650 views.. but those who liked the video have already increased to 977. When only 650 people were supposed to have opened the video, how come nearly a thousand people were able to like & unlike it?
To think, usually, only a very tiny percentage (5%?) bother to like or unlike a video...
Edward Snowden, the American whistleblower, revealed that everything in the internet could be manipulated, and are manipulated for propaganda reasons and other ulterior motives, including Youtube views. Just like when music charts were manipulated to invent a fake hit (confirmed by those who did it in their memoirs), Youtube viewcounts could be manipulated too to present a desired, though false, reality: making the unpopular overly popular. Or vice versa.
It's clear somebody was holding down the view counts.Why?
Hmmm... Sabotage?
UPDATE: Apparently, this trick could be done intermittently so as not to be very blatant but it can cumulatively whittle down the counts in time if done regularly. Fortunately, I caught it so now we know the trick exists.
This blog is growing on me. Writing it was more fun than I thought. I was actually catching so many dirty tricks even when not looking for them (I haven't even written most of them).
May mga ahas talaga sa paligid natin... dapat kasi marunong na rin ang mga Pinoy na gamitin ang propaganda to sell their own reality... proactive dapat.. gayahin natin iba na ten million na agad maski never heard pa
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of one comment in one of the videos of the pair, I can't recall which, but the commenter asked why did the number of views decrease from when the last time he checked it... It means it's not only HELD BACK but it could be outright DECREASED as well... DAGDAG-BAWAS sa Youtube, di na lang sa election uso ang dagdag-bawas
ReplyDeleteI am suddenly curious... coincidence ba na biglang ang bibilis ng bulusok ng mga views ng ilang artists na dati naman ay di gaano... parang too much a coincidence na biglang lalabas din ang ganitong balita ng sabotage at the same time. .. does it mean same hacker hired to accomplish dagdag in one part, bawas in another part?
DeleteI get you, but not so fast, it could be another outside third party out to create intrigues para maglabo-labo... para makasingit uli kasi nasapawan na
DeleteMalamang nga kasi sila ang mahilig mag-falsify ng mga views ng mga artists nila, mas marami pa ang views sa mga Kano e ang liit naman compared ang sales. They have the technology to tinker with the internet
DeleteSabagay, puwede rin na nagkakakutsabahan for a certain reason
DeleteWhich is?
DeleteDeduce mo na lang, lol :))) Sige lunch pa me
DeleteDesperation move lang yon kung saka-sakali man, di na makakabalik mga yon, nagsawa na ang tao sa mga pagmumukha nila. Actually, ang palagay ko, umaandar na naman ang pagka kontrabida ng ilang makikitid na PInoy na dahil di matanggap na di sila sentro ng mundo ay nagta-tantrums
DeleteTo play safe, defensive measure na lang... 5 million hits agad. Ganyan naman ginagawa talaga para kunwari may popularity sa product ng mga malalaking country. Create reality thru propaganda. Magloko man ang competition, naunahan mo na. Proactive tayo at di lang nagpapaawa
DeleteSa Instagram din kaya, may buy&sell ng followers. So sino kaya client nila??? Pedeng products, politicians and celebrities. Kaya wag magpapaniwala agad, lalo na yun nagprepresent ng sales nila na sa bibig nila mismo nanggaling, hindi sa third party reliable source. If you're into monopoly, media is the best tool!
