I've noticed that, where I had, lets say, 800 views on a specific song, I'll come back the next day, and it will be 725?

I wonder why? Now, I don't have a big head about it, and people will view things as they desire to, but I wonder what causes this?

My theory ...

Many youtube videos (including mine) have the option on them that, each time it is watched, (and the poor folks have to suffer through some advert first), youtube makes revenue each time the advert is watched, but they are supposed to pay out to the person with the video a very small percentage of the finances made for the advert being stuck on the video in the first place ...

Therefore, is youtube robbing the person with the video by taking away numbers, so that, while they have already made their money for having the advert, they don't have to pay out any money because, by their deletion of views, "hey, there's no views, so we don't have to pay anything!"

You're thought, folks?

like many other huge American corporations Osi i think there full of lies and corruption, not to mention tax avoidance.

We see it everywhere don't we. Whether it's sport or any other business or activity. Where there's big money you will also find greed and corruption. Even charities pay executives huge salaries which I find deplorable and unjustifiable. It's a mad world these days.

That's quite right there Terry, funny isn't, a charity executive appears to be the one (or more) that actually benefits most from the charity.
Something definatly wrong there. [Mad]
