AOL Uncut: Technical Glitch or Faking Views?
AOL Uncut (AOL’s site for amateur videos) appears to be guilty of technical problems or fraudielent video-view counts. Content creators are recalling that months ago their videos were getting anywhere from 5-15,000 views regularly. Then some weeks ago the view counts were all “reset.” Now most of my videos are getting just dozens of views — and even the most popular video I’ve got on AOL Uncut has fewer views then I typically get in an afternoon on YouTube.
I know I’m not alone in this because I’ve spoken with other content creators. What’s up?
LOL! Never trust AOL 🙂 Why the name nalts7? lol
AOL is the devil. Haha… the site is called uncut… haha.
Hey there…On behalf of UnCut Video, yep, it was a technical glitch. Yep, an unfortunate one. We called it out back in the beginning of March in our product blog(http://journals.aol.com/uncutvideoblog/productinsider#Entry104)
Hopefully you can forgive us? We do have instant publishing of both videos and comments, which are pretty cool…and as for “getting just dozens of views”, we’re growing!
Well, Ivy, tell AOL thanks for deleting 150 of my videos and erasing my account because it expired. Expired? Expired! I won’t be wasting any more of my time there. Your goodwill has expired.
wow. not good at all for aol’s uncut video. its amazing that a well funded company like them still run into large problems that smaller companies with little to no financing run into but solve. i love seeing that.
When did AOL get into this online video thingy?
