@jordanliles @YouTubeCreators @YouTubeLiaison @TeamYouTube Thank you, sir! Your channel affected, too?

[The Money Guide @TheMoneyGuyde]

Kindly requesting your help @YouTubeCreators. Unnatural, sudden drop in views from external since Fri 25th on both my channels. Affecting only views from mobile & ext source (Google Search). Videos are ranked high on Google. Studio reporting 0 views from top performing countries

@YouTubeLiaison Plz sir, on behalf of all affected creators I kindly request your help. YT's last week's updates must have messed with the algorithm. Check out that thread @r/partneredyoutube subreddit. Lots of creators experiencing massive drop in views. https://t.co/BeA9jc7o2v

[The Money Guide @TheMoneyGuyde]

@YouTubeLiaison @robertoblake @NickNimmin Did you experience something similar after last week's updates? Unusual drop in impressions? Drop in views from Google Search?

[The Money Guide @TheMoneyGuyde]

@YouTubeLiaison Only external views are affected. After that glitch on Friday 25th, external views (Google Search) fell off a cliff for several videos. Videos are ranked high on Google Search. Views from external though don't seem to be counted / reported correctly anymore since that glitch.

[The Money Guide @TheMoneyGuyde]

@YouTubeLiaison Sir, I'm kindly requesting your help. There seems to be a glitch with reporting views from countries. External & mobile only. Occured on 25th on both my channels (different niches). Support unwilling to help. Please forward this to an engineer at YT. 🙏

[The Money Guide @TheMoneyGuyde]

@TeamYouTube @YouTubeCreators Did you even read my tweet? Doesn't seem like it. There's a glitch, that occured on Friday 25th and that's causing massive underreporting of external & mobile views. Content is fine. Please be of help for once and forward this to an engineer at YT.

@TeamYouTube @YouTubeCreators @YouTubeLiaison No, you don't. Otherwise you would have fixed this bug, that has been going on since Nov 2022 on and off for thousands of innocent creators out there, who have begged your technicians to fix this. And you won't fix anything. We both know that.

[The Money Guide @TheMoneyGuyde]

My channel has been hit with the "invalid traffic bug" for the 3rd time within 365d. HIgh CPM ads have been removed completely. CPM for skippable ads dropped by 80% overnight. No banner. Support claims, "there's no IVT". Will you ever fix this? @YouTubeCreators @YouTubeLiaison

[The Money Guide @TheMoneyGuyde]

@TeamYouTube @YouTubeCreators @YouTubeLiaison I know what Invalid Traffic is. I have reached out to Creator Support dozens of times. Sometimes I get told there's no invalid traffic, sometimes your CS confirms my channel has been flagged. This is a YouTube issue and I am kindly asking you to fix this.

@Str3amerTV @RStefanski @JamesyRYT This time I got hit with this bug 1 day after I switched to my new PC (from Win7 to Win10). Strange coincidence, isn't it? Can you plz tell me exactly what to do to fix this?

[The Money Guide @TheMoneyGuyde]

@KatieKeithBarn2 Same here. After a couple of days with extraordinary high CPM on skippable ads their detection system instantly flagged my channel for driving "IVT" (which is not true) & took all high CPM ads from my videos, which lead to a 70% drop in revenue overnight. Support refuses to help.

[The Money Guide @TheMoneyGuyde]

@JenMarieVO @NickNimmin It's absolutely mind-blowing they haven't fixed this yet. I'm sure it is an algorithmic issue they don't want to or simply can't fix. To me it looks as if their oversensitive detection system is flagging content creators for driving "IVT", where there in fact is none.

[The Money Guide @TheMoneyGuyde]

@NickNimmin Sorry to hear that, sir. I didn't even receive the notification. Adrevenue & CPM for skippable ads just went south overnight. All high CPM ads have completeled disappeared from my videos. Support claiming "no invalid traffic detected". They don't care at all. So frustrating.

[The Money Guide @TheMoneyGuyde]

@JamesyRYT Same here. Got hit with "invalid traffic" for the 2nd time. No notification banner. CPM for skippable ads dropped by 80% overnight. It's absolutely mind-blowing, that they can't or don't want to fix this. That issue has been going on since November 2022.

[The Money Guide @TheMoneyGuyde]

@d20woodworking @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @YouTubeInsider yes, same here
