Are Chat GPT Bots The Cause Of YouTube’s Invalid Traffic Problem And If So, YouTube Must Block ThemYouTube and YouTubers are being plagued by a problem called “invalid traffic”. That is defined by YouTube and Google in this way:Invalid traffic is any activity on your channel that doesn’t come from a real user or a user with genuine interest. It can include fraudulent, artificial, or even unintentional ways to boost ad revenue for videos, among others.YouTube says examples of invalid traffic on videos include:Automated or incentivized traffic from third parties, including “traffic boosting” services and others claiming to be legitimate ad networks, among others. Friends or contacts letting playlists of your videos run all day long, resulting in a boost in ad traffic due to ads playing on those videos. Announcing to your viewers that they should watch or click through ads on certain videos to boost ad traffic, resulting in boosted ad revenue.But note that YouTube does not list bots trying to scan and scrape your content. Why? Anyone who runs a website today knows that there are many types of what are called “scraping” bots. The newest and most notorious are bots associated with Chat GPT. Is YouTube / Google blocking these bots, and if not why not? Also, is some of that invalid traffic caused by Google’s own Chat GPT bots?YouTubers have a right to know the answer considering the damage its causing AdSense earnings and also peace of mind. YouTube spends too much time blamings its own family, us, for a problem that they may be causing.The solution is simple: black the bots. That’s it.

Note from Oakland News Now Blog, Zennie62 YouTube, and Zennie62Media: this Oakland News Online Blog video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018, originally on Zennie62Media , Inc.’s Oakland News Now. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. This is what we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a “liked” YouTube video by a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then that YouTube video is uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Online Blog site and Zennie62Media -created and owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, thus less chance for Oakland News Online Blog, Zennie62 YouTube vloggers to be robbed. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners. This process is entirely within YouTube terms of service, where embedding of videos for use on websites and platforms is allowed and encouraged.
