Glitches???

[Boltlady]

For some time now I have noticed an interesting anomaly on U-tube when it comes to Ron Paul. If you have seen the same thing in reference to other candidates I would be interested in hearing about it.

The anomaly has to do with the number of views. Yesterday I watched a 12 minute video that was put out by a super PAC about RP. U-tube showed that there were 307 views yet when you looked at the likes and dislikes, there were 1240 likes and 81 dislikes. I have seen this same type of thing so many times that one would think that if it was a glitch somebody would have fixed it by now.

So I ask again, has this been happening to the other candidates or are the U-tube people doing like so much of the rest of the media and simply trying to marginalize the man?

The most likely explanation is that fans are "liking" the video without bothering to watch it.

Well, at the risk of sounding conspiratorial, I have sensed other instances of strings being pulled in order to deceive the people. I certainly wouldn't be surprised at any effort to marginalize Ron Paul.

Now I do think Ron Paul is a very sincere man of conviction. However, there a few areas where I think he's terribly misguided.

One of the perils of the internet.

LOL, interesting thought...but somehow I doubt if that's the answer.

 

[NightSwimmer]

Maybe you're right. The simple and obvious explanation isn't always correct. It could be the Bilderbergers or the Knights Templar acting up again.

Pretty much a given fact now that Ron Paulers swamp blogs and internet sites to "vote several times" for their Cult Leader. Same reason he wins straw polls and has a good shot at a caucus like the one in Iowa.

You tube has had a lot of problems lately. For a time I was unable to post anything to the comments boards on the Music videos. Maybe what you're seeing is no accident or maybe it's just another technical problem...can't say for sure.

 

[StanH]

Nice try, but youtube and most other sites don't work that way. For example, on youtube, you have to log in to rate something, and your vote is counted only once. Therefore, you are factually incorrect.

.... U-tube showed that there were 307 views yet when you looked at the likes and dislikes, there were 1240 likes and 81 dislikes. I have seen this same type of thing so many times that one would think that if it was a glitch somebody would have fixed it by now.

Likes an dislikes in the utuberverse is analogous to pulling the lever in elections. You don't have to pay attention (view) to a candidate's qualiications, experience, or character in order to vote for him. To really get a feel for it, visualize virtual busses with virtual box lunches and virtual cartons of cigarettes with virtually no voter photo IDs. So I wouldn't call it a glitch or anomaly but rather a plan.

Stan...ever heard of Gmail?

 

[LeilaniMP]

Facts? Since when do facts matter to the left?

Leilani.....how many Gmail accounts can ONE person get? And thus use them to RE-register as a "new account" on YouTube?

BTW, I seem to recall a certain elderly gentlemen, banned numerous times from Slate, who was able to keep coming back on it with new accounts???

 

[StanH]

Yes. Why?

Stan...ever heard of Gmail?

 

[StanH]

You really think people will sign into youtube with multiple accounts just to rate a video? I've never even considered such a thing.

I think this says a lot more about you than anyone else.

See above to the knee-jerking Ms. Leilani, Stan.

All a Pauler has to do is get a new Gmail account...use that to create a new YouTube account.

That you're IGNORANT of Ron Paul's cultists and their utter slavish devotion to him???

Okay.

 

[LeilaniMP]

As obvious by what we see every day (in here), some of us don't have the time to waste doing such things, while others apparently have all the time in the world....

And you know more about Ron Paul's cultists because...

Go to "Daily Caller" Stan.

BTW, want to deny what I said about Gmail accounts and getting a new account on YouTube (your original attack that MP decided to leap in on)?

YouTube is owned by Google. It is a well known fact that Google is a NSA front company.
