I blame accounts from TheTubeViews.com for the recent votebot attacks.
Recently, my channel and several others were attacked by votebots. In some cases, videos were actually removed. But for most of us, our vids got hit by 35-42 negative votes--1 star votes--within a matter of a few hours, and always while we were away from YouTube. For a small channel like mine, this means a 1 1/5 star rating average. That kinda sucks. I mean, if that were the honest rating result I would accept it (with a tearful smile lol.) But, this was not honest; this was done wrongly by one or more persons. The proof is in the fact that they barely left any views, if any, while leaving a ton of ratings--proving that they have hacked the system.
The two I mention in the video who promoted TheTubeViews.com: Corineaxw and DelLondono. I know there were others, but I only found these two when I did a quick check through my comments history yesterday.

Are you saying people would pay this site to downrate vids?
Please check out UndertheBridge01. A list has been kept of most of the ongoing hits since around March 23rd. Over 200 accounts so far that we know of. No idea how many vids have been involved because the entire channel gets hit with the votebot.... That would add up to an immense amount of money, just to downgrade channels out of spite.

That's weird, I posted a reply to this comment, and it disappeared (should I be paranoid? lol.) I'm assuming that they charged money for it, why else would they go through so much trouble to round people up? Where on that channel does it show how any accounts signed up?
