But were them though? I don't see reasons for the views in her videos indicating those problems.

Many Youtuber's pay for a package of Bots to watch their videos. You can get 1 million views for less than 10 dollars. It used to be a great way to cheat Youtube and Advertisers, but they have gotten better and better at catching it. My guess is that she probably did this. You can still get away with it big time, if the bots are not the majority of your traffic. If you just use them to get to sort of prime the pump. ESPECIALLY if you don't have ads enabled on the video. Then Youtube doesn't care AT ALL. Then you just use your massive view count to approach a real advertiser directly.

  She could have bought the views. But if she did and she knew she did, she wouldn't have been so outraged when she doesn't get any money then. I guess this person was genuinely feeling being ripped off by Youtube because she really had an audience but then with no money in return.

    >If she did and she knew she did, she wouldn't have been so outraged. Maybe a rational person would think like that... But besides knowing she wasn't a rational actor because of the crime she committed, if you spend any time in with the criminal justice system you will find many people 'feel' they have a right to things, even if they procured them illegally.

      She could be also a liar -- but I think that's a separate mental problem from being a shooter. There are several things that suggested to me that she was telling the truth. First, she was complaining about not getting views - If she could buy views, she wouldn't have complained about not getting views then. Second, on her page, she said explicitly that she didn't buy views and followers. As the Occam's razor dictates, we should rely on the simplest explanation: She really was not getting views while she did before, and it made her mad.
