I hate to side with Youtube, I really do, but they actually run an algorithm over videos that tests up/down votes from people and checks to see if those accounts actually watched the video - those who didn't will have their votes removed.
The process is a bit time consuming so it only gets run every so often.
That is not true at all - up and down votes are not qualified based on view duration because they are not included in digital marketing earnings. The algorithm does use votes to promote videos though.
They absolutely are, the process once began at 300 votes and the videos would have all votes suspended until a review, but the review now occurs as a cron job. I'm not certain which videos are targeted or the scheduling, but what I said was correct as of a year or so ago.
Yeah, youtube bullshit going on. This is why no one likes / trusts them.
