Elon Musk is at it again, promoting ‘short shorts’ in his idiotic Tesla merch store, which is really a play on words on how he intends to destroy short sellers.

We’ve all come to admire and love Musk’s craziness — because of its high key nature. However, and let this be a reminder to you, the quiet one’s are the danger.
Enter Susan Wojcicki, sister in law of Sergey Brin — beneficiary of nepotism and CEO of Youtube.
Not only has she taken an open platform like Youtube and used it for political ends, banning people she doesn’t like, employing ‘fact checkers’ to infiltrate the comments section of videos she believes needs checking, as well as the removal of thought exercise videos aka “conspiracy theories”, which is the basis for critical thinking — now she’s permitting people to be pilfered by traffic spamming retards.
Here’s a snippet.
Martin Vassilev makes a good living selling fake views on YouTube videos. Working from home in Ottawa, he has sold about 15 million views so far this year, putting him on track to bring in more than $200,000, records show.
Mr. Vassilev, 32, does not provide the views himself. His website, 500Views.com, connects customers with services that offer views, likes and dislikes generated by computers, not humans. When a supplier cannot fulfill an order, Mr. Vassilev — like a modern switchboard operator — quickly connects with another.
“I can deliver an unlimited amount of views to a video,” Mr. Vassilev said in an interview. “They’ve tried to stop it for so many years, but they can’t stop it. There’s always a way around.”
After Google, more people search on YouTube than on any other site. It is the most popular platform among teenagers, according to a 2018 study by the Pew Research Center, beating out giants like Facebook and Instagram. With billions of views a day, the video site helps spur global cultural sensations, spawn careers, sell brands and promote political agendas.
Just as other social media companies have been plagued by impostor accounts and artificial influence campaigns, YouTube has struggled with fake views for years.
The fake-view ecosystem of which Mr. Vassilev is a part can undermine YouTube’s credibility by manipulating the digital currency that signals value to users. While YouTube says fake views represent just a tiny fraction of the total, they still have a significant effect by misleading consumers and advertisers. Drawing on dozens of interviews, sales records, and trial purchases of fraudulent views, The New York Times examined how the marketplace worked and tested YouTube’s ability to detect manipulation.
Inflating views violates YouTube’s terms of service. But Google searches for buying views turn up hundreds of sites offering “fast” and “easy” ways to increase a video’s count by 500, 5,000 or even five million. The sites, offering views for just pennies each, also appear in Google search ads.
Reminder: upwards of 85% of Google’s revenues come from ads, of which 10% is from Youtube.
In other words, MASSIVE FRAUD is taking place out in the open and no one seems to give a shit. The views are fake. The ad dollars are real, based on fake traffic. People are being ripped off.

Wow @TeamYouTube just shut down our @theh3podcast live stream and gave us a strike for talking about Alex Jones??… What.

Our ability to Livestream @theh3podcast has been revoked so we'll have to continue filming it offline and upload it later. Nice one @TeamYouTube

The full Alex Jones stream that was shutdown yesterday is up:https://t.co/8jZLS1gOfS
We were able to continue offline and follow the updates from YouTube as to why our stream was shut down. Weird & wild stuff.
But our channel was reinstated & we can stream again next week?

Hi Ethan – Our team looked into this and determined the live stream was taken down incorrectly. The strike has been removed. Our apologies and thank you for your patience!

I have always liked them from a viewing, not trading, perspective.
This the end of the internet. Thank you fucking ugly women and queers.
Yawn.
Not fraud? Ad rated predicated on views that are created by bots. That’s a real shitty proposition for anyone advertising on YT.
Oh god, Who called everything fake, Allegorically

Jesus Christ. Everything is fucking fake other than a hungry belly growling. You city slickers no nothing. Keep thinking those mongrels down the way will not take everything you have and moar.
The ad views is kind of well known at this point. Its all a giant scam. It wouldn’t be a shock to find out Alphabet has been low key promoting people who sell views to facilitate inflation of their “value.”
As for Elon and his genius, the latest manifestation appears to be eviscerating shareholder value by tweeting materially misleading statements stoned as fuck on acid.
