Virool's in big trouble.


When I met Virool's founder I grilled him about how they actually get the views people pay for, for obvious reasons. As far as I can tell it's fully legit.

It's probably possible to test this by checking your YouTube analytics and seeing if the view increase came from the embedded player (which it should) or mobile (which might indicate foul play).
