NMV’s = New music video whereas MVMV = most viewed music video. So who’s numbers do you believe when determining these view counts? YouTube’s Views numbers maybe, IT40 most definitely but what if we are both wrong. IT40 advocates for new standards on the counting and publishing of view statistics. You know what a view is, don’t you? According to YouTube and IT40 a View is the worldwide number of times a video has been viewed by a human. That certainly sounds reasonable the problem comes in when we set the standards to determine these views. YouTube counts a view after you watch or view a video after only 10 seconds, what, 10 seconds is that really a view? IT40 says no but YouTube counts that as a view and what if someone or group sets up an automated way for computers to run up views in other words “pay for Views” set up with hundreds of fake accounts to watch the same video for 10 seconds that means 1 account or 1 computer without any humans watching could “View a video 6 times a minute. An automated computer set up with 10 accounts could “view” a video 60 times a minute that is 360 fake views an hour. IT40 says this is not right. Another problem is how do you determine a video is actually being viewed by a human. There are several things we can do, you can have people log in with facial recognition and a finger print scan. You can then track the IP address and device ID. We can never be 100% accurate but we can cut down on View fraud. And if we are going to start paying people just to watch videos and vote on them we have to be very certain or definitely more certain that a human is actually doing it.

Please note that I am speaking through an interpreter and do not know English language. I am learning Please be patient with me and email Ellenberger with any suggestions. Thanks

We will open the sign ups again in the very near future. But right now the slow down in speed for the website to allow new sign ups isn’t worth any new sign ups we may get. As I have stated the IVAMP.org website will open early next year ”International Virtual Academy of Music & Photography” to members & Users. The group will be responsible for setting online standards for music and photography specifically social media and music videos and all other photography and videography. The group members will also be allowed to vote on and critique videos, nmvs, & other social media postings etc. Thank you for your patience and Understanding. Any comments Please email to Avi at [email protected] 

Hopefully by now if you don’t speak English you are using the translator app the button is at the top right and bottom left of the pages. Just a couple notes if you read something in your language and it doesn’t make sense email David Russell at [email protected] He is learning a lot of new words and could use your help. If IT40 does not have a NMV chart for your language or country and you really would like to see it let him Know at the same email address. Better yet let her know your available to help we could all use some of that. Thank you Ttyl
