Seems like YOUTUBE is playing foul with RP

[Af-Pak]

Is it just me or has anyone noticed that the view count on the latest ROn Paul videos seems a bit odd. Most of em have 300-305 view. And it aint increasing. Any idead why thats so ?

It's a youtube glitch that updates the videos hours after its been out so if you look at the videos tommorow afternoon they should probably have updated numbers by then.

Why is my viewcount frozen?

YouTube employs proprietary technology to prevent the artificial inflation of a video’s viewcount by spam bots, malware and other means. We validate views to ensure the accuracy of the viewcount of all videos beginning with the first view.

This validation process becomes publicly visible when the viewcount reaches 300. At this point, the viewcount may slow or temporarily freeze until we have time to verify that all further views are legitimate.

no foul. The counter starts a verification process at 304 views, the views will be counted eventually.

This is typical YouTube. They have to validate that each hit is a true unique hit, hence a more accurate reading (non spamming). If 200K people went to a video within an hour, it could take a while before the counter shows up the real numbers. There is no foul play here.
