How do we small fish on YouTube fight a view freeze when Google owns YT and the search engine?

This is probably a dumb question but, What does it mean to be frozen?. And why would Google think it was necessary? I thought YT was only for viewing when people clicked on the link. Is there something I should know? Are they concerned with people putting up copyrighted content without permission?

Google owns YouTube. Frozen means the view count for your video(s) suddenly stopped, without reason or recourse. It’s all over the YouTube “help” forums now. Many, many of us have complained. The big fish however, are not frozen and now YT falsely accuses we small fish of spamming and botting. I blogged about it at http://www.splattersoftheheart.com if you want more detail. We need help!

OK, Got it – I think. I went to the link just now and clicked on your video. One more click. You’re at 257.
Were you sending out many emails with your link attached? Why would they refer to it as spam and bots? If you sent out 1 million emails then I can understand them shutting you off. If this was your own material and you were doing the uploading then I can’t see why they would hold you down unless it was just corporate greed.
Good luck

They have frozen many, many small YT users like myself. I appreciate your click. :)

The problem is that once they froze us, we lost hundreds if not 1,000’s of clicks. We could have gone viral and no one would know because they froze the count. Our momentum was killed and we’ve been robbed of credit for our hard work. It’s grossly unfair. Some believe it is deliberate on their part to keep traffic directed toward their money makers.

I was particularly upset because it was a Dr. Seuss tribute they froze, and very well liked. I know it has been viewed far, far beyond what is reflected. I hope we can some press to the issue and a reporter will investigate. If anyone has suggestions on how to get more attention to the matter and fight back, please let me know.

Good Luck with the fight. And do be enjoyin’ yer Green eggs and ham t’morrow.
