i have been saying for so long how i dont put any stock in this form of tracking things, i could care less how many hits someones video has, in fact i remember awhile back a Flor-rida song i think had a few million views, and yet the single barely broke 100,000 downloads on itunes, the thing is that you just dont know, not even with itunes if those sales are customers or some exec behind a desk trying to get his artist a top debut, which is irrelevant now cause music is not relevant in most peoples lives like it was, at least as something that sells "We went where our music was appreciated, and that was everywhere but the USA, we knew we had fans, but there is only so much of the world you can play at once" Magne F | |

Are we surprised by this? | |

Nah, they just migrated to Vevo:
Two billion YouTube music video views disappear ... or just migrate?
Ah, the beauty about Christmas is that stories - already rebutted - can get a second life after the holiday season. And the beauty about writing about the music business is that everybody is prepared to believe that there is a great rock'n'roll swindle out there. Which, frankly, is much more fun than the dull old truth. But we can get to that in a moment.

Sometimes I pay minions to visit my org posts millions of times to make my topics seem of interest.
Agreed that hits do not represent interest, but rather intentions Strange how our culture almost trusts views or comments as quantitative data. Y'all know this info has bamboozled many. I once found a work opportunity to be a paid commenter but it felt morally shady so I didn't pursue it. Vevo is YouTube with commercials. So is this article an advert/promo for Vevo? Did I fall into a scam within a scam? Ugh conspiracies make my brain hurt. [Edited 12/28/12 19:56pm] | |
