[QUOTE=Taepodong-2;50774848]There's no other explanation why some of these nursery rhyme videos have hundreds of millions of views.[/QUOTE] this was something covered by Cr1t1kal, it's weird niche stuff in order to just produce constant [i]technically new and unique[/i] versions of the same nursery rhyme videos because a certain type of mental disability makes some people enjoy the familiarity and repetitiveness of the songs. They literally watch this stuff for hours and hours and hours [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iq1TK3I2vc[/media]
[QUOTE=ThatSwordGuy;50775204]Youtube feels like just one big cross over special nowadays :v:[/QUOTE] We're kind of ending up with this whole network of big youtubers who, when one of them makes a video about a fairly little-known thing, all the rest of them make their own video on it, or collaborate on another video about it. A little bandwagonny

They literally watch this stuff for hours and hours and hours [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iq1TK3I2vc[/media][/QUOTE] honestly though, it's probably just bots. i'm sure there's a fair amount of REAL viewers, but the majority have to be bots, especially considering every video basically gets millions of views right out the gate when they have at the max 2 million subs.
The near-identical titles probably help with making money too. Youtube's Autoplay will just keep looping through the channel, so people who set it and forget it for a few hours for their kids or daycare or something will give the channel a lot of views.
I have to wonder if it's some kind of money laundering thing. They automate so many videos they're estimated at up to 500k in ad revenue - they could be doing it just for the cash, but there's a much lower minimum estimate and (afaik) no guarantee they see the cash if Youtube objects to it. What if it's designed to launder cash through bot views?
These channels keep me up at night. They shouldn't exist but they do. These and the fuckin pregnant female spiderman ones with the frozen character and syringes in it [B]WHY SYRINGES[/B]?

Nice video on one of the channels doing this kind of thing. [video=youtube;8B1sRPwK248]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8B1sRPwK248[/video]

[QUOTE=mayo;50775595]you need to step in and do something.... seriously, i'm convinced these videos are some form of brainwashing for children. if they become psychopathic murderers in their teens, you're partially responsible if you just stand by and let it happen. your brother and sister are fucking sick and neglectful.[/QUOTE] MK Ultra 2, 20 years down the line these videos will be used to activate sleeper agents that perform false flag attacks
I was hoping they would at least look at the comment sections on these videos. Last I checked every post was basically just a random assortment of letters divided into "words".
[QUOTE=Sheepaay;50774571]From what it seems all the animations are the same, but the models are changed, this could all be automated at this point.[/QUOTE] The creator(s?) answer(s?) comments on the channel, and they said they were using Blender (which has a very powerful scripting API and video editing functions that would make generating these videos pretty easy, once you have all the assets).
Well this got scary as fuck and somehow EVEN WEIRDER half way through the thread. Nice.
