How to Cheat on YouTube

November 24, 2007 by Mike Abundo

Google\’s antispam abilities are legendary, and many YouTubers wish some of those abilities would rub off on YouTube. That need has been further underscored by Dan Ackerman Greenberg, a Stanford student who\’s revealed some horrific ways to cheat on YouTube. He knows of what he speaks, because he\’s a hired gun for corporates faking cluefulness.\r\n\r\nHis repertoire of dirty tricks ranges from fake headlines to sockpuppet comments. While market leader YouTube is the primary target, the impact of this trickery will only get bigger as other video sites gain popularity.\r\n\r\nWhile reading Dan\’s post makes me sick to my stomach, it certainly highlights issues video-sharing sites must face as they become increasingly attractive targets for unscrupulous advertisers.
