This video will be explaining how I managed to break youtube livestreams and find ways to break and exploit the youtube algorithm. In todays video I will explain how I managed to find a built in view bot on youtube that allowed us to fabricate live viewers and views out of thin air. I will also be explaining how this method has been kept secret on the platform allowing certain dodgy channels to use this secret youtube algorithm exploit to create potentially infinite views that are ultimately false but still provide an unfair advantage in youtubes natural eco system. Alongside this I will be revealing how we can use these exploits to trick the youtube ad system into providing us with more ads than we should have and consequently generate false ad views that still generate money.
In partnership with todays video VIDIQ are offering their service for a $1 trial at - vidiq.com/spiff
^I receive a percent of all subscriptions signed up using this link. I have used vidiq for my entire career on youtube and the tool helps me with every single upload I make even this one. I hope you find it useful too and that it pays for itself. So if you want to know How To Grow On youtube this is what I would recommend
00:00 - Intro
02:54 - Tabs equal Views
06:00 - Animation Livestreams
07:47 - Farming Likes
09:02 - Printing Money
12:14 - Breaking the view count
15:24 - Results
17:30 - Outro & Thanks for Watching!
What you have seen here today is part of a fantastic perfectly balanced series on youtube where I go from game to game and break them with wacky exploits to gain things like unlimited gold. If you enjoyed this then be sure to check out more. The style is similar to RT game and callmekevin in parts. A large influence on this series has come from Valefisk and The Killian Experience. I promise not every video is all about using youtube seo and algorithm seo to break youtube because sometimes its just a youtube bug that lets you generate infinite views and infinite money! Who needs youtube seo 2023 when you can just open a new tab!

@cdubsoptional7849
@cdubsoptional7849 8 місяців тому
It's not so much that he's a pentester. He's damage control. These exploits could have been front page news or on wikileaks. Instead, it's just a funny youtube video, and instead of castigating the company itself for being crap, SB puts attention on some pitiful, low rent grifters, and the overall tone is that these exploits are just an accident, and youtube is going to fix them. Give me a break. These exploits exist for a reason. UKposts wants content creators to be able to scam the system, because it's the companies paying for the adds who are getting scammed, not UKposts. And if you really want to go down the rabbit hole, the companies being scammed are fine with it, because they use the fake UKposts views/ad receipts/etc. to scam their clients and investors and etc. But what do I know?
@cdubsoptional7849
@cdubsoptional7849 8 місяців тому
And come to think of it, they're obviously cooking the books. The algorithm does what they want it to, and revealing low rent exploits such as these, provides a smoke screen to hide the real fraud/criminal shenanigans going on. I had a boss who got fired for embezzlement. He was never happier than when he caught someone else stealing, because that meant he could shift blame/attention, and embezzle even harder tgan he already was.

I think there's some issues with distributed consistency with respect to the view count. They probably have multiple servers providing the service to viewers and have relaxed guarantees about consistency between them. Maybe that's part of why it can jump up and down as the different servers cooperatively realize they double counted a single account (or browser fingerprint?).
@ForeverLaxx

I have a feeling that whats going on here is a bit more sophisticated than that. Google is notorious for it's "automation first" approach, because they really couldn't operate any other way at the scale they have. It could be that the view and like counts start in a less-strict, unverified state to encourage organic discovery, but these counts get vetted more thoroughly once they cross certain thresholds that would incur monetization payouts. I know I've heard creators talking about numbers dropping off of what they originally were by the time they get paid for the views.

UKposts properly ticks the viewer counts once a day. Until then, however many times you refresh counts as a "view". Those views would have reset on UKposts's next update tick. I suspect that opening a new window will count as a brand new view, however; and some phony views do not reset. I tried figuring out what views are counted and what aren't, while using the same IP and OS, and there is definitely an exploit to be found somewhere. The only thing I can think of is opening a new window will count as a full-view upon the viewer tick, but refreshing the page or opening a new tab does not count as a full view.

I wonder if the ad revenue was actually paid out, I kinda doubt that. And on that note, you can freely talk about RPM/CPM without any issues. RPM was probably a lot higher, because streams (or long videos) have way more revenue from Premium, usually for me they are 50/50 with ads, while on normal videos premium makes up 10% at most. But back to the ad revenue, UKposts does I think it was 2 additional checks after ad plays whether it was legitimate or not. The first one happens over the day, and the second one happens after the month is over and until UKposts pays out the actual revenue. For most people this is usually not really different from, e.g. for February it was 0.05% for me (and funny enough higher than what analytics had shown), but I've seen extremes going up to 90% losses, simply because the video had very suspicious activity. Though this was at the time with the embedded video debucle leading to many channels losing monetization as well.

I've been in web dev for 17 years and I just don't understand how so many people, including multi billion dollar companies, think it's fine to have so much logic client side in the browser where you have basically zero control.

UKposts has been helping regular people make profit off of big corporations through ad revenue. They also provide a space for smaller businesses to have a somewhat fair footing in marketing their products and services to a large audience that they wouldnt be able to reach otherwise. UKposts is not the enemy. The ad companies will likely try to have UKposts implement a system to prevent bots or exploits from raising ad view count so they know they arent paying for any wasted ad space, or they will just renegotiate with UKposts lowering the amount they pay for ad space since they dont know how many ad views are legitimate. If anything happens whatsoever, it will ultimately hurt creators the most.

It's about time that we, the content creators, made youtube sweat in fear and worry and not the other way around. Side note, I think spiff's channel is being ACTIVELY monitored and refreshed, I've seen the likes go from 18k to 19k like 3 times while watching the video and the view count is actually going up in the description as I watch. Not sure if this is a new feature I just never noticed or what but uh, yeah.

Could you perhaps do something about that so I can actually earn money on this video I worked really hard on?" UKposts HQ: "I'm so sorry, but I'm afraid we can't get to your issue at this time. Please submit another ticket and we'll get on that at our earliest convenience. Just remember we care about your opinion." SpiffingBrit: "Hello everyone!

A few more details to note: only Chrome requires you to have all of the tabs visible for this to work. If you'd switched everyone to Firefox, and made sure they had disabled tab sleeping, you could have easily of pulled this off without having all of the tabs viewable. On Twitch, there was a limited time where a window had to be active to count as a viewer. This really sucked for anyone who watched a live stream on 2nd or 3rd monitor, and viewer counts tanked as a result, so the change was undone. This however, NEVER applied to Firefox, only Chrome. Still, in general, if you love your streamer on any platform you really should be using Firefox, as Firefox doesn't support a lot of this weird spying stuff that Chrome has added.

The discrepancy between the analytics view count vs view count on the stream could be due the fact that analytics are often done by copying data into a database dedicated specifically for analytics stuff. The copying of data doesn't happen often, and certainly doesn't update as often as the "true" view count does, so I can foresee discrepancies like this happening if engineers have to quickly triage such an exceptionally urgent bug.
