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: 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: The AutoTrain or Automatic Train system incorporates a slight delay after a video is done before advancing to the next video. This is to allow for network delays and other possible problems that might keep you for getting credit for your views. If you're patient, it should probably work. If not, you may need to enable javascript in your browser.
A: Yes, you do. The site is designed to be extremely clean and lightweight and does not use cookies or other client-side tracking. All you have to do is sign in once per visit and the links within the site should all keep you logged in. There is a box on screen at all times that reminds you what video you are promoting or lets you know if you are not currently promoting a video.
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: ViewTubeTrain automatically selects the next video for you to watch based on the videos you have already watched within the past 24 hours. We have a built in timer that will let us know if the video has had time to play through. If the video hasn't played through, it will reload the same video. If you don't want to watch a video, you can click 'Skip Video' and you won't see that video for the rest of the day.
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.
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.
