Also - Samsung, I'm calling you out for view fraud (11,000 views in 1 week and only 13 comments - three of which are mine? This is Youtube, not fucking Dailymotion) and titling your video in a way that brings up a whole host of sexy dancing related videos despite the driving force of your viral campaign being an incredibly young child dancing in a completely innocent manner.
Don't treat your consumers like absolute fucking morons Samsung, you're not doing yourselves any favours.
@mickinson It's not surprising when the video has been up for weeks. When it's been up for a matter of days and it has that many views, that generally suggests it's 'gone viral', and when things genuinely 'go viral' they get a lot of attention. It's a well documented fact that companies like this defraud the view counter in order to boost views and make their 'viral' videos seem more legitimate.
Produce documentation? I'd also point out that this was linked to in the b3ta newsletter, so a fair few views with no comments isn't surprising.
Can't say messing with views to such a small extent really matters, if they were really hitting it to get it featured or awarded, then yeah, but doubt they've bothered for a few thousand views.
@mickinson This is a poor example of tactics symptomatic of a contrived form of advertising which needs to die, soon. Fair enough – b3ta newsletter views probably make up most of the 15,000 (I'm surprised there wasn't more comments from b3tans given the context in which it was presented), but that doesn't detract from all the other shitty, gimmicky tactics employed by the creators of this video. The sooner they stop trying to 'leverage social media' to promote their awful products, the better.
@johnmorrows Companies don't spend millions every year on advertising to entertain the masses. They want to sell products and that is all. You give them too much credit.
I think is a good advert. Will I buy the phone - probably not I have one I like at the moment. Will I remember the advert and the product it's advertising - definitely. Good job.
Oh look, a charming home made video with a little girl danc...oh...wait, no....it's a big budget, heavily post produced viral ad campaign for a shitty phone that no-one will choose over Apple.
@FountainsofFear Bet it plays Flash movies though. And you can take the battery out if you need to. And it doesn't drop its signal if you don't hold it like a poof.
You may cry about the lack of flash movies and removable batteries, but who has the stronger brand / bigger market share? Shitty viral advertising and incremental product development is a bit of a bitch, right?
@FountainsofFear u sir are a fag lol galaxy S is superior to the Iphone infact site are using the galaxy S as the phone to revierw other phones against lol fail apple
Brilliant. Record someone, anyone, even an animal, in blue screen. Then choreograph a dance routine and paste in the dancers, compost the two pieces of footage, done.
Purple lady's got some bounce going on there... :D

@FountainsofFear
I'm calling you out for caring about pointless shit.
Click on a random video, divide the number of views by the number of comments, you'll find that 1 comment per thousand views isn't that surprising.

@1littlelee Also, we're talking about the shittiness of the advert here – your phone choice, or mine for that matter, is completely inconsequential.
