I wondered about the revenue sharing for a bit before realizing Google didn't take a financial hit from the fake views. If anything, they profited. It's the advertisers who took any hit by paying for ad space that was only seen by bots.

  What's way worse is losing the trust of their advertisers over the long term. I'm not going to buy views on Youtube if I don't trust the platform, so steps like this make me more willing to spend.
