Youtube Thumbnail Designer (Full Time) - Remote https://t.co/U4s8pMS9g9

@all_secured @YouTube In my own experience and from what I hear from others, once you're channel has been hit with invalid traffic, it's only a matter of time until it's hit again. @TeamYouTube Why restrict ads on the entire channel and not just on the video(s) receiving invalid traffic?

[MeticsMedia @meticsmedia]

@lonseidman @YouTubeLiaison I 2nd that. Seems like another wave of the invalid traffic problem started a few days ago for many channels. It‘s really disappointing that all we can do is beg @TeamYouTube to help. And after over a year still nothing has changed.

[MeticsMedia @meticsmedia]

@koushikmalla999 happy to hear that, thanks!

[MeticsMedia @meticsmedia]

Here we go again.

Youtube ad revenue dropped by 95% overnight. Didn't even get an invalid traffic notification this time. Analytics look normal as always. @TeamYouTube @YouTubeLiaison

[MeticsMedia @meticsmedia]

@andriigrh @graphicious I don‘t know if it helped, bit my theory is that „fake views“ usually don‘t get to the first mid-roll ad. So maybe just turning pre-roll ads off could help. But I don‘t know. It would be @TeamYouTube‘s job to figure it out but they don‘t talk to us.

[MeticsMedia @meticsmedia]

For everyone who's been affected by the invalid traffic issue on youtube but now it's back to normal: Before it got fixed, did you turn off preroll ads or not?

[MeticsMedia @meticsmedia]

@andriigrh so far still ok here

[MeticsMedia @meticsmedia]

UPDATE on Youtube Invalid Traffic Issue:

After 47 days of being affected, I see a recovery.

Things I‘ve tried (I don‘t know if anything actually helped):

- turn off embedding and advertising feature on all vids
- turn off monetization for 1 week
- turn off preroll ads

[MeticsMedia @meticsmedia]

@IvanManaReal well, the whole thing shouldn‘t happen in the first place. But it does.

[MeticsMedia @meticsmedia]

@seandollwet wow that sucks

[MeticsMedia @meticsmedia]

@IBRAGODYT I have them turned off now but I saw that things went back to normal for people regardless of pre-roll ads activation. So I‘ll probably try and turn them on again on one channel to see what happens. I think pre-roll ads are about 40% of the whole ad revenue.

[MeticsMedia @meticsmedia]

@indishor @Daniel_Batal I also turned the feature off but still get views from youtube advertising.

[MeticsMedia @meticsmedia]

@nicheawesome nice! Yes let‘s hope it stays.

[MeticsMedia @meticsmedia]

@IBRAGODYT disabled them like 3 days ago when I turned on monetization again. But don‘t know if that did anything really.

[MeticsMedia @meticsmedia]

@chrishsmn you still have pre-roll ads on?

[MeticsMedia @meticsmedia]

@graphicious Oh nice🙌

[MeticsMedia @meticsmedia]

@graphicious yeah, I know that I might wake up tomorrow to another invalid traffic message. @YouTube needs to fix this flawed invalid traffic detection system. Anyone could send fake views to any channel and make them lose 90% of ad revenue over night.

[MeticsMedia @meticsmedia]

@vinsanereviews I‘ve noticed that too on some videos actually.. it‘s weird. I just turned them off whereever possible
