# what are they censoring ?

# They alter the view counts of most politically-related videos.
This can be seen very clearly on the one above.

Views: 13,665 - Impossible it's gone viral worldwide, plus the guy has 36,000 subscribers.

Text Comments: 2,054
Views: 13,665 - This ratio to comments is insane.

# Is that despite the fact that the whole purpose of the video
is to get people to comment on it?

# It can't be seen at all from that link
views - 13,665 to comments 2054 - so?
does there have to be a strict ratio figure before it passes from the realm of 'accepted true viewings' to 'suspected tampered viewing fiugures'?
And how 'viral' has this gone exactly? For my two penneth I've not seen or heard about it until now, and from what I've seen, you've only linked to it today on b3ta.

Show me proof that they doctor comments, or at the very least, give me a backed up evidential argument before
coming out with phrases that suggest you know for certain they do this.
Sources please fella - you know we like 'em :)

# the problem is that youtube really does lock the viewing totals on videos
you'll see the occasional video that has comments consisting of

person1: it's at 15325
person2: it's still at 15325
person3: wtf it's at 15325
person4: it's 15325...

for hundreds of people

some folk get twitchy when they see stuff like that

# Ahhh, I see.
Youtube is life. Youtube is reason to get upset.
At. The. Internet.

# no, not at all
I think that something selling itself as a great opt in community that basically is full of shit is what annoys people.

it doesn't matter if it's in print, online, or what someone told you in the pub if it's demonstrably full of crap people do have a right to get upset, but I guess if it's on the internet as it's just pretend, oh well guess it's not worthy of any kind of note at all.

at times for stats updating?

That doesn't necessarily mean they are holding it down....

# Look at the 'Honors' on the video. Plus the other stuff I mentioned, oop there
Yes, that ratio is abnormal.

Plus several comments are being deleted on that very video, and not offensive ones.

Right, back to it.
