  • lol, the ending xD

  • 0:52 OVER 9000!!!!!

    In all seriousness though, if the Bible was true, then why resort to these tactics? Everyone can see through this pathetic attempt at censorship.

  • Just so some of you understand the problem - vote bots are an abuse of the system. They're not used to rate the quality, rather, people try to use vote bots as a form of censorship by creating the illusion that the current video is of low-quality or no importance to the populace.

  • Where can I find this song/music?

  • How do these vote bots work anyway?! Don't you have to be loged in to voat? Dose the vote bot make fake accounts or do the culprits have to make them before hand?

  • how does one make a votebot anyway. what is it a programm or a hoard of chritians in some church all voting

  • It could be youtube admin's doing all this manipulation, it could even be part of youtubes anti-atheist coding?

    If it is, it's explains youtube's lack of repairing or preventing it happening

  • I'm going to one-star the next video that whines about votebots or asks me to blindly 5-star "to dilute the effect of votebots."

    You fucking people care way too much about worthless youtube ratings. It's extremely petty.

  • You don't get it. It's not about being popular. It;s about people trying to censor videos that don't agree with their world view. You are the one complaining without understanding the topic at hand.

  • I do get it. Ratings have nothing to do with popularity. Youtube only cares about views, not ratings. Ratings are meaningless.

    But some people just can't stand having their stars taken down by stupid votebots, so they make one incessant video after another bitching about it and begging their subscribers to shut their brains off and blindly rate, which is about half a rung above votebotting, if at all.

  • Fewer ratings leave the video to be showed less than people with ratings of high stars, so low ratings do equal less veiws. So by porving you wrong i just proved you right.

  • It still isn't an excuse for this vandalism, if it could be called that.

  • I've never seen any of these guys asking for blind "5 star votes". They just ask you to vote on merit. That's two totally different things.

    You really ought to object to what others actually say instead of to 'what you want to hear them say', you know?

  • I've seen videos that say "5 star to dilute the effect of votebots" before. How do you think you "dilute the effect of votebots" anyway? Obviously they're asking for high ratings to counteract low ratings.

    If you're one to turn away from a video without having seen it just because of a low rating, then I feel sorry for you. I don't allow the majority to dictate what I watch. Often times they're wrong anyway, like any of thunderf00t's terrible videos that deal with government or economics.

  • Wow. It sure didn't take you long to expose what your mode of discussion is: put own words in others' mouth and then knock down the straw man. Did they make you and the other trolls in the same factory or what?

  • Sure, making observations and drawing conclusions is putting words in other people's mouths. Whatever. Since you're not bothering to make an actual argument, I won't either anymore.

  • By the way, YOUR post claimed that people were asking their viewers to "vote based on merit," which is something I've never seen before in one of these appeals to ratings. So who exactly is putting words in other people's mouths again?

  • lol, where'd you find the miami vice cover? cool. anyway, the problem is not the religious wackos (they will always be religious and wacko); the problem is youtube itself. they could stop this if they wanted. they just have no incentive to do so

  • I really really hate religion...

  • did you swipe this video from Thunderfo0t?

  • phail

  • in regards to my previous comment, why would you reply back to me: "phail"? o.0

  • look at the bottom left portion of the video

  • This votebotting is pathetic, but yes, why not play them at their own game and use votebots to rate UP videos if thats possible, I don't know - it just all seems so futile.

  • does anyone know what that tune is called?

  • PS

    What song is this?

  • Sounds like Miami Vice or something.

  • it's a cover of a jan hammer track from vice...

  • I win!

  • yea, this is a cover of Crockett's Theme by jan hammer

  • Votebots hitting my channel also :(

  • why? ur not even that popular

  • due to my video content. most are against religion specially islam and christianity.

  • its not vote bot, there isn't even that much views/votes. it's just that your viewers are mostly muslims and christians and they don't like you =/

  • Actually, no. The vast majority of viewers are those who share your opinion. Unfortunate, as few get to see an opinion that differs from their own.

  • nevertheless, it's not vote bot so you can relax =)

  • I'm Christian and I disagree with the votebotting thing. I mentioned my religion because of some people blaming Christians or acting as if all of us Christians are afraid of "truth."

  • not afraid.. maybe just can't handle the truth

  • Some people can't handle things that disagree with their beliefs. But I know that many of us Christians can handle the truth especially us converts. Because we saw truth in Christianity (whether we wanted to or not) and embraced that.

  • what about the lies? have you ever seen that in Christianity?

  • There are lies promoted by some "Christians" but not lies because of the religion itself.

  • I doubt that.

  • Christians are afraid of the truth vote bots prove it I VOTED.

  • i can,t believe someone would sit around all day setting up accounts so they can 1* videos man these morons have way too much time on their hands, GET A LIFE VOTEBOTS!!

  • Thanks for the list of channels hit, I sometimes find it hard to find videos worth watching and any videos that get this much attention, as to be vote botted, are worth watching.

  • How the fuck can we put these vote bots working in our favor?reply me pls

  • Accept jebus as our lawd and saviah.

  • Go fuck your mother

  • And why would I?

    That would negatively contribute to the evolution of our species, causing children with possible homozygous for possible diseases or mutation (diabeetus, a sleeping disorder of some kind, autism, AD(H)D, etc.) that I may be a carrier of. :3

  • comment done

    five star done

    favorited already

  • It can't be easy to do something like that. What do the votebotters think they're accomplishing?

  • ahhh ok thanks. I thought that was only based on view count. Makes sense.

  • why not just disable voting? Is there really much point in it to begin with?

  • I would think if they disable voting then people would call them anti-free speech, like what most christian guys here do when they disable voting.

  • yes, the more higher ratings a video has, the more exposure it gets.

  • Video's "open source"? Sweet, can't wait to see the mods they make for it.

    OK I'm teasing.

  • Gootube doesn't care, this is likely even part of their "algorithmic demotion" bullshit.

  • 7 ratings per 90 views isn't a sign of voteboting

  • Don't you think it's a bit coincidental that there is only a huge influx of votes on one day, which happen to be 1 star?

  • Come on!!! Christians wouldn't do that, it's deceitful. Misrepsenting yourself with votebots is lying. God hates liars, so it just couldn't be Christians, now could it?

    Proverbs 6:16-19: "There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers."

  • Christians will....just like the one that killed the abortionist not long ago.

  • jimmo42

    Ha, you really think christians follow the parts of the bible thats limits their ability to annoy people and spew their nonsense?

  • Just like Christians wouldn't kill, rape, genocide, lie, misrepresent information, ect ect ect.

  • I lock my video ratings and comment ratings on new videos after the first few days to VoteBot proof things. I always allow comments and vid comments so people are always free to express their opinions. So far I've only had one VoteBotting.

  • Yep, I've got that too! :) Peace and Love will prevail if we let it. I heard a 911 protest going on July 4th so we can express our independence?! Who's there?! Peace!

  • yawn, who gives a shit just keep posting vids they cant stop that

  • ★★★★★

  • They keep trying to hit our top guns, because they're angry for the loss of their own members. It's a clear sign of defeat. So keep at it people.

  • That is definitely having way too much spare time and very very little to do with it in order to sit down and 6000 times. I would really feel important to see someone goes for so much trouble trying to boycott my video hehehehe Keep going FFreeThinker! We cheer for you!!!!

  • 0:52

    WHAT 9000!!! THAT CANT BE RIGHT

  • about time someone made that joke xD

  • In the P2P networks they have been infected, so legit bots have been flushed out.

    I suspect people have been hired for this, after all it only takes one crazy person.

  • Commented, favorited, and 5 stars!

  • You'd think that, if YouTube took their systems seriously, they'd do something about this. ='[.]'=

  • that's assuming they take their systems seriously.

  • who does this and why?

  • People that don't like the messages of truth in his videos. Christians tend to try and squash whatever isn't "Christian".

  • WTF???!!!

  • my gosh, that over nine thousand

  • How does the votebot get around the 'one vote per user' rule? If the bot has multiple memberships (in the thousands), how did it get around the Youtube signup fail-safes? Does Youtube admin have a position on the matter?

    What about creating our own "good" votebot to fix any videos hit by the 1 star votebot? Fight fire with fire.

  • There is no such thing as a "positive votebot".

    Getting down to the level of the attackers is going over to the dark side.

    The truth or Burst.

  • I totaly agree the truth or burst. Hail Science!

  • If I'm attacked with someone with a gun, I wouldn't hesitate for a second defending myself with a gun (if one was available).

    Besides, I'm not saying we use our votebot to attack the aggressor's own videos. It could be used solely for corrective purposes on the good videos that were hit.

  • This is not a shooting war. Its a war of ideas. Adopting there methodes will discredet every video made against creationist.

    People will be accused of using trickery to inflate ratings and there will be no defense.

    We do not torture, or us votebots.

  • Discredited by who? The creationists? They do already. I'm sorry, but the more I hear that the only way to fix this is by voting 5 stars, the more suspicious I get that the votebot is a scheme orchestrated by the "truthers" in order to get sympathy votes.

    Where is the evidence of this votebot and how do I verify the numbers are not cooked? How does anyone know the creationists are behind it, and not just some nut-job who picked this group randomly?

  • Discredited by everybody. There are more people watching this flamewar then there "soldiers".

    We should, in promoting the truth (sience and other real stuff) never stoop to the level of lies and trickery. It will compleetly distroy the message.

    The best weapen is ALLWAYS DO THE STAR THING. Dont give blind 5s. If it sucks, it sucks and should get a 1 star, but ALLWAYS DO THE STAR THING.

    Make it a habbit.

  • cursingyorick

    Please don't call it "the truth". Reason and rationality is what we espouse. Let's leave absolute certainty to the faithful.

  • PaleBleuDotCitizen

    I see your point. Its a strong word however reason and rationality dont mean shit to the uneducated. I try to walk the line between being correct and being understood. Like we all do.

    It is fair to say reason and rationality are means to find disciptions of the natural world that are the truth and not myth. If I were to put in front of you "On the origin of species by means of natural selection" and the "Bible" and tell you to point to the truth, what would it be?

  • Hi cursingyorick,

    I'm afraid you've presented a false dichotomy there and so I wouldn't point to either. One is a scientific theory and the other is fiction.

    Scientific knowledge is never complete, out understanding of scientific theories are constantly amended and improved as our knowledge increases. It's just not scientific to use the word truth even when there is overwhelming supporting evidence (as there is with the theory of evolution by natural selection).

    ..cont

  • cont...

    Epistemological knowledge is gained through either empiricism (experience) or rationalism (use of reason) neither of which religions encompass. The word truth implies an absolute completeness which, a concept we leave to the deluded.

    cheers!

  • PaleBleuDotCitizen

    Again I see your point. I praise youre phrasing. Ah, but there is the point you fail to see. We can compose verse and rime so strict and words titanic. Soothing to that abillity that's not to fester in us unused, and thus be tru to all that sience dictates, but in doing so we loos the nave. Who's ears grow weary and lost, longing for an awnser that fits his humble purse.

  • Your point is well taken, but we should hold our ground. If consciousness is to raised we must keep consistent with one another. Let us send a clear message and raise them up to us rather than we descend into the mire.

    "Truth" is a word for children and the faithful.

    The "new atheists" of our age everyday reach a wider audience, let's keep strong to our principles and educate rather than capitulate.

    cheers!

  • We must face up to the fact that we can not change every mind the way we want. Seince is hard to a lot of people, and some will not get it. Those people can only be "coverted" to sience.

    It's a shame how we try to hold "the intelligent highground" and then faill in talking to the faithfull because we speak a different language.

    There is nothing wrong in using loaded words to get the message acros. The meaning of a word isn't absolute. The meaning is adjusted by the cotexst it find itself in.

  • But in stooping to their level by using loaded emotional claims to the point of unfairness, we help comfirm to them that underhanded lies and tricks are ok.

  • Its not about stooping down, its about being able to open up discussion with the faithfull. Using words they are familiar with instaed of the "mombojumbo"that siencespeak is to them, increases the chance they will actually listen to the argument.

    Its a kin to teaching Newtian physics, we know it not the best or current "ruling" theory on the cosmos. Still we teach it.

    And finaly( this started over the use of a single word)

    I claim the unalienable right to use any word or expresion I choose.

  • I hadn't noticed the whole conversation about the use of the word truth (from what I gather), I was more refering to not using the underhanded tricks and fallacys Creationists use. We can dumb what we teach down a little bit as needed, and try to come to a common language, but we do have to plant the flag, say "this is where we stand", and not move until it's proven we're wrong.

  • Comment removed

  • oops, no right to use expressions?

    please explain. Such a rare opinion is easy to slip into the blind spot.

  • Also, I have a right to my opinion, and my opinion is that you have no right to use any expressions.

  • @PaleBlueDotCitizen : Truth is for children and faithful??? No. Neither of those groups of people is much good at understanding, determining, or discerning truth. Only non-religious adults are good at that. What led you to believe otherwise?

  • How can you not have noticed that you can vote more than once on a video even on the same user account?

    The ratings have their own refreshing system and it can be manipulated.

    Revisit a video you rated a few days ago and you can rerate it.

  • I can only image it working as follows, but i'm no expert (luckily ;P).

    - They create a domain to get thousands of email accounts.

    - Use automated registration with random strings as the user name (CAPTCHAs can be handled quite impressively by bots already)

    - Vote timed, with respect to the penalty.

  • 1. You tube just doesn't care. They are running at a loss.

    2. That would be quite time consuming to make all those accounts I'd say, why not just make this video telling everyone to vote.

  • Would be better if thunderf00t, or whoever made it could host the original video. By downloading it through mirrors, or worse mirrors' mirrors, the quality gets worse each time.

  • thunderf00t does host it. He uploaded it a while ago already

  • I think I might mirror this too, it's important.

  • Pretty awful, but it gets to show something about the character of both sides involved. You gotta sink pretty low to use these kinda shit tactics.

  • Over 9000!
