yeah, i'm noticing it. what i'm experiencing is that hits from certain countries in the former soviet union and east asia especially (but countries outside the "first world" in general) get erased by some kind of software that is probably designed to prevent hit buying. i can't speak for you but i'm certainly not buying hits, i just get a lot of traffic from international news agencies (and a flip through my public google+ profile will make it obvious why).
basically, it seems like what youtube is doing is saying "if you have a high amount of traffic from outside of europe and north america then you must be buying hits, and those hits will be erased.". which is heavy-handed and counterproductive. i can get behind schemes designed to prevent view buying, but the algorithm seems to be making things worse by hyper-americanizing the site. i mean, i don't even live in the united states...
that being said, i can get my head around some bad implementation. bugs. fine. but, it seems to be getting worse and not better.

i just gotta say it one more time...
i don't care if you like bland, repetitive techno. i don't. really.
just stop deluding yourself into thinking it's futuristic or defines a generation or something. it hit it's peak of creativity about 1993 and has been cycling in circles ever since.
techno, today, is a *retro* fashion. k?
there's a number of rock forms that only make sense when placed after techno, as fusion only makes sense when positioned after jazz (but in a real sense was also both the end and high point of jazz). where we're standing in 2014, we've even managed to exhaust just about any kind of interesting electronic hybrids, which happened some time in the mid 00s.
so, it's like.....sorry, kids, but techno is something that already happened, and you missed it. why don't you take some time to explore some more contemporary forms, instead of getting lost in a concept of the future that is properly dated to c. 1983?
here lies techno. while there was initially much promise, and many victories, the end was meandering and dull.
rip.
techno.
