Can you please explain how fake views did not generate revenue? I thought that Youtube Partners got paid some CPM for every 1,000 views their video had?

- tehwebguy 14y agoThe "mobile views" he mentioned (in quotes because the mobile URLs were being accessed, but not via a mobile device) did not serve any ads. YouTube doesn't pay creators directly, they cut them a percentage of actual ad revenue. No ads -> no rev for YouTube -> no rev for creators.
- citricsquid 14y agoAlthough: Some Youtube networks (eg: Maker, Machinima, Curse) do pay based on view count, but they're much more likely to be on top of fake views.
