The F5 button....

I was thinking... lol .. I was wondering if you could go to any of your youtube vids and hold down the F5 button to cheat your views. I know it works with other stuff such as profile views on other sites, but does'nt Youtube have a way of detecting it and stopping the view count from your Mac address?

YouTube will pause the view counter every 200-300 views for about 12-24 hours (from what I heard).

I found out that you could get a high amount of views for your pastebin by refreshing the page, but you can't do it for the pastes though and I doubt you can do the same thing with YouTube.

If you hold down the "refresh" button long enough when you're on Pastebin you'll get blocked for 1 hour or something like that. This stupid picture comes up saying "Your IP has been blocked by our kitty.". lol I have a picture of it, but I can't show it to you at the moment.

I think with YouTube you have to view the video(s) for at least 1 minute or something like that for it to count as a view. I don't think that there is a way to bot the views on YouTube.

YouTube takes subscribers and view counters seriously. No easy cheating.

it freezes your view count when you do this

YouTube verifies your views if you get 300+ within a short amount of time, that´s why it freezes.
Btw.tells you exactly that.
