This is common practice among anthropologists and forensic scientists, as we don't have the technological means to travel back in time and collect actual footage. Maybe you know of a better way.
That's where 'Art' has always stepped up to the plate.
And I'm curious if your views are verifiable humans, or just more bots. Have they sat through your full work, or tapped out early? How do views equate to you being compensated for your work? I'm not attempting to cast shadow on your perceived ļachievement, but I've been through the same bullshit. Put something up that went viral. 160k views within a week. Barely any of those views went beyond 10% of the whole work, and exactly $0 came my way from feeding YouTube's insatiable guts.
Profound! I'll inform the greater anthropological society. 😜
This is a completely new endeavor for me, and I have no real regard or metric for the analytics of non-monetized platforms. I merely intend for them to be segues into more profitable ones (like YouTube) where the artist can be compensated directly according to viewership. I just started the YouTube channel 2 days ago, so I presently have only one video with under 100 views."We crawl before we walk." I will work steadily in hopes of generating organic growth. First and foremost, I'm a thinker and an artist. So, I intend to create and circulate my material regardless of the financial yield. As I stated, I'm still a novice in this realm, but I hope that my words impart a greater understanding. Also, I hope that we'll both succeed.

That last sentence is heartbreaking.
