Guide: Youtube Views

Stream SHINee’s Music Video on the official SMTOWN YouTube Channel

Stream in 720p or above

Like, comment on, and share the video!

Watch the full video without pausing and above 50% volume (this actually matters, so plug in headphones if you cannot listen to it loudly.)

Make sure you DO NOT simply click ‘replay’ or refresh the page or the views will be considered spam. Play the video in Incognito or clear your watch history on Youtube periodically (every 9/10 plays)

If you want to create a playlist, create a playlist of the official MV and their official performances and let that playlist play on loop!

SHARING SHINee’s MV on social media platforms like tumblr, twitter, facebook etc is very beneficial as it spreads the word about SHINee’s MV, thus people (non-fans) will look into it and help us increase the views so please, SHARE IT!

[UPDATE]

Youtube is trying to get rid of low-quality playbacks, they analyse a collection of views to distinguish those that are real compared to those that are ‘robot-like’. With that in mind, you have to show Youtube that you’re not a bot.

1. Watch the entire MV or at least half of it before clicking refresh button to reload the video

2. Make sure you’re logged out from your account.

3. Use auto refresh extension (find it here)

Set the time to 450 - 550 seconds.

4. Clear cache and cookies as often as you can (after around 10 - 15 plays)

5. Watch other videos in-between looping View.

We want to emphasise that no one actually knows how Youtube’s view count system works but it should be noted that Youtube is getting rid of low-quality playbacks.

We recommend you to loop a playlist on incognito in one window, using auto refresh on another window, and occasionally watching View after another video.

FAQ:

Why do we need to play in 780p or above?

As we have mentioned before, Youtube wants to have ‘quality’ views. So it is recommended to watch in high quality and high volume. But if 360p or 480p are the highest that is offered then it’s fine.

Can I turn off the volume on my computer or listen through earphones?

What matters is the Youtube player volume. Please make sure its above 50%, you can put earphones in or lower your computer/browser’s volume.
