    Gone are the days of 301+ Views on YouTube

    If you are on YouTube as frequently as everyone else you’ve become familiar with the 301+ views that appears under new videos that exceed that amount. There use to be a huge problem with fake views in the earlier days and ever since then the 301+ views has become a fixture of the YouTube community. YouTube is constantly updated, but now the option of view counts as they are happening is a new feature we aren’t accustom with, but have always wanted. Either they have improved security against fake views or they just don’t mind anymore.   Sidenote: Subscribe to Graveravens on YouTube here
