PiroNiro put up a video concerning "A new form of Creationist Censorship". So what does this mean? Just watch his video. In it he shows a bunch of videos that he wanted you to vote five stars upon. Never mind the fact that these videos had low counts compared to the other videos. Never mind the fact that they are anti-radical Islam videos. Never mind the mindlessness PiroNiro uses this opportunity to call all evolutionists to vote 5 stars on boring anti-radical Islam videos. Right. To top it off we are told, the reason the stars are down, are because of creationists bots. Never mind the low counts on these videos.

  • Reread what I wrote. The VIDEOS were targeted indiscriminately, meaning that they WERE ALL HIT. You're implying that I wrote that this bot is "randomly working on videos" which is FALSE.

    The 5 channels targeted were NOT RANDOM. They either addressed Creationists head-on or attacked the film Expelled, all during the run-up to the film's release.

  • "Secondly, you're wondering why all of a sudden you've gotten a lot of hits during the time just before Expelled came out. Believe it or not Youtube and internet activity may increase in spurts just because some radio announcer advertised an issue, like Expelled. Those hits seem botish, but it's what happens"

    You REALLY wear down your credibility when you say that this was all due to an upswing in traffic from the film Expelled.

  • Though, it is equally possible that all sides of the conflict control vote bots.

  • There are some muslim-oriented channels which have an automatic 5 star and automatically delete comments. This would seem to fit your case, DC.

    If the channels selected are anti-islam or anti-theist for that matter, there is motive and proof of capability present.

  • You're ignorance is appalling. You clearly haven't watched the videos explaining why their are votebots, or you're lying.

  • i would like to know how they are doing this, i suspect Keyclone and/or synergy software. That with a lot of time making 80+ youtube accounts they would have to have a rig able to run 80+ app windows simultaneously.

  • These attacks happened in over an hour's time and in VERY systematic, creepy, clockwork way. There's NO WAY to generate that level of uniformity without some type of artificial system. For example, in the Vote-5 video I made, I couldn't create anything close to the level of uniformity that this attack had. Videos get voted on unevenly and at varying intervals. This bot hit precisely and at a constant rate on all the videos. Thunderf00t documents this his own video and I've seen it myself.

  • Am I making myself clear on this point?!?

  • "PN, you asked everyone to vote on a certain selection of videos, those which were anti-muslim. That doesn't look good. So that runs counter to your claim"

    I've addressed this EXPLICITLY in my video. Again, ALL of my videos were hit indiscriminately as were all the videos of the other channels. CDK's tribute to heroes at home video and Thunderf00t's history video were also hit. I have no problem including my Islam videos on my list of damaged videos as they were damaged by the same entity.

  • PN, you asked everyone to vote on a certain selection of videos, those which were anti-muslim. That doesn't look good. So that runs counter to your claim, which may as well not be true. Secondly, you're wondering why all of a sudden you've gotten a lot of hits during the time just before Expelled came out. Believe it or not Youtube and internet activity may increase in spurts just because some radio announcer advertised an issue, like Expelled. Those hits seem botish, but it's what happens
