        At least it's going up, maybe not at the real rate but-- :) maybe you all shook it loose.

        Why are they messing around with your view count? I don’t deny they are, but not sure how that benefits them.

        I wish I knew. I assume because the popularity gets it circulated more and possibly picked up by TED where it gets circulated more. I don't know if it has to do with youtube being owned by Google-- mentioned in my TEDx talk.

        For a laugh, Googled “why are Youtube view counts reduced.” This was part of the response: “We want to make sure that videos are being viewed by actual humans and not computer programs....we'll only show views that our systems believe to be valid.” There you go, biased analytics!

        90,178 to 90,230. Keep in mind it's the third separate time I watched this over several different days + I sent the link to three people who watched it over a week ago. Yes the number increased but is Google simply trying to cover their tracks now that everyone has caught on?

        When it goes up, it doesn't seem to reflect the real rate. For example after a Drudge mentioned it showed virtually no normal bump. That would be a first if @DRUDGE_REPORT traffic didn't greatly impact something!

        I saw it I believe the very first day it was out and forwarded the link to 3 people. I don't recall the exact number of views but i believe it was in the mid 60K range. No way it's only 90K now.

        90,021 — 91,140. I was a little disappointed because I expected a drum solo at the end. Nice research though—as always.

        The counter was 89,356 views before watching and 89,356 after (unchanged). Then, I reloaded the YouTube page and the counter increased to 89,426 views. Also, great talk!
