ViewTubeTrain works on a points system where the users with the most points get their videos displayed first. This encourages users to stay active and watch each other's videos. The more videos you watch, the more users will watch your videos! You can have friends watch videos on your behalf as well, as long as they are on a different IP Address.
A: Yes. Due to changes at YouTube, we now require the use of the Firefox toolbar to participate. Everything is still free and safe. The toolbar should make things much more effective for everyone.
A: With the system, points do not direclty lead to any fixed amount of views. Points are used for ranking where the videos with the most points come up first in the train and thus get the most views. Different users tend to have different results based on various factors.
A: To encourage all of our users to get plays as well as ensure that YouTube counts all of the views, you only get points for watching a video once per IP address per 24 hour period.
A: As long as the computers have different IP addresses, this is perfectly fine. In fact, you can often change your own IP address by disconnecting and reconnecting with your Internet Service Provider.
A: Because our system automatically tracks views by IP address, proxy servers (particularly non-high anonymity servers) will cause problems with the system and may make it difficult to get points.
A: Once you have signed in, there should be a text box near the bottom of the "You are currently promoting" box that has a link with your referral code built in. The box should look a bit like this:
A: We keep track of points earned within one day and points earned cumulatively. Videos are ranked primarily by daily points, however the tiebreaker is always cumulative points. While it's best to rack up points every day, even if you forget a day, your all-time cumulative points will rank you above the other users that also have zero daily points.
A: ViewTubeTrain has been operating for over 4 years and we have no reports of users or videos being banned from YouTube for use on the ViewTubeTrain system. Keep in mind that all views on the system are real, the vast majority are U.S.-based and no shady software tools are used.
A: The points do not have a direct translation into YouTube plays. The points are simply for ranking users so that the most active users get the most views. It can be difficult to track the exact number of views because we use anonymous referrals and thus they are seen as instant messenger or viral views.
A: Featured videos are automatically shown before non-featured videos in the queue. Among featured videos, the featured videos with the most points are shown first. Being featured does NOT mean you will be featured on YouTube.com and it does NOT guarantee any specific number of video plays.
Note: We are not affiliated with YouTube in any way. This site is just a niche community of digital video producers and fans to showcase, share, and enjoy each other's work.
