Doesnt matter if you upload video of a near collision or a walkaround the new bike, these trolls seem to be targeting a large number of cycling related videos on youtube now.
Youtube are taking the typical line and ignoring all complaint.
What you will find is the following will happen:
- a large amount of down-votes during selected periods during the day
- downvotes that usually exceed the number of views
- the number of views will go up slightly but the time watched will remain a fraction of the video's duration
- sometimes an abusive comment will be made towards yourself or others (one made a sexual suggestion towards a dead body, yet despite complaints these trolls are allowed to persist on youtube)
This is because they activate a script software and run the link through it. Its all automated, and its damaging the ability to share good information on road safety, riding techniques, clothing and kit reviews, or just entertainment in the form of race videos and interviews.
I've started flagging votebot videos on youtube, but what else can be done other than a mass exodus? If we leave they win.
