let me try to summarize this thread. it might be the reason why our views keep on getting deleted by yt

basically, don't overwork your streaming. yt only allows a maximum of 8 views on a video per day. exceeding that number might be considered as bot behavior by the site. https://twitter.com/fabszeuss/status/1310844374087950337

especially if you're using a single account and a single IP address, it's very likely that the 9th view onwards will raise suspicions of bot behavior from ur side by the yt site.

the thread also mentioned of multiple videos from one IP address. this is what we're used to do:

watching buffer videos in between streams. while that's wise to do because it expands the threshold up to 14-15x safe plays, it might still get tagged as bot behavior, esp. if you're streaming nonstop for hours and hours. so, to be on the safer side, pace urself out and

spread the views every one to two hours. u can watch the mv first, watch 3-4 buffer videos, watch the mv once more, and then wait for an hour or two before repeating the same process again. if u've reached the treshold, stop streaming and wait for the next day to do it again!

if u have more time, u can switch out accounts after doing one round of streaming instead of waiting for the next hour to repeat it again. u can also stream with ur accounts logged out but the journal articles mentioned of yt being less restrictive with logged in accs,

so i think it's safer if u're logged in still.

following that, it's also not advisable to stream simultaneously/at the same time on different devices even with different accounts, bc it's still considered to be from the same IP address, esp if ur internet connection is private.

u can work around this by changing ur IP address once in a while (forget the network, wait for 5 mins, then connect once again).

if u're to follow my advice mentioned above, i suggest that u include this step in between rounds of streaming and changing accounts, just to be safe.

tl;dr, stream like a normal person lol. if u have questions or clarifications feel free to dm me. that's all hehe
