Everything done in the dark will one day come to light and YouTube have finally had enough of fake views (which have dominated the UK Urban music scene over the past few years) with the video sharing site removing videos which have been accumulating 'bought' or fake views as well as Channels which have been using fake views and subscribers to boost their credibility as this violates YouTube's Terms and Conditions among other things.
The YouTube clean up started this week with Major Record labels Universal Music Group, Sony/BMG and RCA Records exposed for 'Jump starting views' and stripped of over 2 Billion views collectively with Universal Music Group's YouTube channel having only 5 videos left as of time of writing.
Over the next few weeks there will be a lot more Videos and channels going missing from YouTube as well as a shed load of excuses passed from Artists and Channels but the underlining fact is that Fake views are now a thing of the past.
Thank God for that!
