Same stupid question now 5th time without answer

Jayden Blog Last Activity 8 years ago 465 views 12 comments

Nick, I've asked from you 2 times by personal PM and here in my blogs 3 times about the differences between "your videos have been watched" and the total number what my video counter says.on my wall when counting them all together.


Without answer from you or anybody else from your factory.. Am I some kind of second class member here or what? Now it says that totally my videos have been watched 5.516.720 times but my wall says something else, only 4 millions less, means missing.


That is my some kind of hobby collecting statistics and numbers -one reason because my university studies- and now because you deleted (when changing the style of the site) the possibility to collect maps and visitors from other countries this is more important than before. I had good collection before, now it's useless. If you have time please take a look. Before maybe almost 1000 visitors when successful day. now 1 or 2.


I don't mean any bad and I know you're busy with more important things but I think after long patient waiting now it's my turn to get answer to only one question: Where are those 4 million missing watchers of my videos or are they existing at all? If so, this whole counting system here is cheating all of us. If so, I don't really like it, not fair play. Jay

@ Chris... yes I did upload some picture albums too as you can find out from my wall and they don't show any sum of views. Right. Pictures or their views have hothing to do with this thing. Only videos.
So it seems like nobody does not understand my just simple mathematic questions and answer for that like: How much is 1 + 2?, result is of course 3, right? In GBT mathematics it can be 0,5 or something up to 5,72 billion. Just example. As I said this case is closed because I don't get any reasonable answer for my question. Just advices to give up and forget this whole thing. And continue witthout my "hobby" with statistics and numbers and flags and different countries I'm (WAS) interested in and all those things without any meaning to others "how high or important I am because of numbers". Just curiosity. Just only for me and my small brains. Why they show here at all how many days have you been here as a member, what is you last day of login, how many profile views you have AND finally "people have watched your videos" amount. That last one was the only point I was meaning from the beginning because there's no sense how this site is calculating video by video (1+1=2 for example) but when calculated all videos together what you have uploaded there's only more than 4 millions difference. In my case. Just me!!! I think this site would be better without any numbers. Same as our bank accounts. Bla bla bla... this can continue forever to get my point clear. Question is only because of my principle, target of interest and why they don't match. That's it. Again thank you all for supporting opinions and now I start to enjoy my weekend. Without numbers or stats. Jay :)

@ Jayden - sorry, but one last word at your statistic, maybe you uploaded some picture-albums, don't know, but i think you didn't see that they count to the sum of views on your wall, but there is no counter for every single picture ... think you can never find out how many views you really have, sorry

I think most of us accept that HOWEVER the numbers are tabulated, we are all being treated the same way. and beyond that, I don't see why it's important to know exactly what the actual number of views per contributor is. perhaps nick feels this is proprietary information in respect to competition? i also think if you haven't received an answer by now, holding your breath until you turn blue isn't going to help. apparently mine is the minority view, but using the blogs to force nick to take action on a petition is annoying, especially when it's repetitive. I'm not trying to convince anyone, I'm just espressing my point of view.

How many times thanks to you Thomas? The most wise man (litterally) here. You always make me and others to believe to myself -others same way- and get back in the reality where you started
your blog for example now what it's question about. If my opinion -I think- is right you can say is it right or not and you give other possibilities to think about. We have here (VN) also Dr. Phil, not my favourite but he's a very wise man I think. And you're too. I feel lots of experience from you, you can read between lines if I said that in a right way. And that is the most important thing you must know or do. Same way as I do, can't explain in in English in a right way but I think you understand. I can continue this writing like Stephen King but must stop, we'll continue I hope but now you gave me back my strenght and in this small thing I'll continue. And stay here of course with my Vietnamese pictures to show all of you how beautiful my country can be. As your coutry is, I know about not so much:) Been only to NY, D.C, Miami, New Orleans, Dallas, Las Vegas, LA and SF. Some years ago...Big hugs again and good night over there:) huuuuugs! Jay

Jay...I have resisted posting on this due to not wanting to be seen as being negative to anyone. But I feel the need due to our friendship. You are a great member of GBT, contributing content in a variety of places. And if knowing the statistics of your contributions makes this site more meaningful to you, that is what is important. We all find those things that make us feel valued and good. What is right for you may not resonate with someone else. And that is fine. And your request to receive an answer is neither minor or trivial. It is real to you and important to you. And as a contributing member of GBT you have a right to expect some response. Now we know the counters have never been consistent, but that is not the issue. The issue is being treated fairly and appropriately. So do not let others determine what is right for you or whether or not you should expect an answer. Stay true to yourself.

Ok and thank you all my friends for your answers and suggestions. I just forget this thing and remember it in the future if needed. Case is closed now and I won't disturb Nick with this kind of minor things. Not for me but anyway there's bigger things happening here if I'm right. I just lost about half of my interests to this site but at least I have lots of good friends here to talk with and what's most important, you are from all over the world! Take care my friends:)

Jayden you are not a second class member here my friend. How many private PM's ,and messages do you think Nick gets from all the members in 1 day? I bet the number would surprise you. He is busy and doesn't have time to answer them all. Your problem in the overall scheme of things here is minor, so just chill my friend and enjoy. In due course all will work out. Be patient ,and try not to bug Nick with minor things.

Good answer chris :) ..... jayden I made a promise to someone when I first joined gbt..... if I was gonna get to stay a member I woukd have to contribute videos..... and I do.... I dont like porn so I found another way :) I don't care about my video count.... all I care about is if someone enjoys at least one of my videos lol..... but I can understand your frustration..... everyones video counts do not add up like they should...... don't know why nick18 isn't answering your question..... all I can say jayden is enjoy uploading your vids so that others can enjoy them and also enjoy everyone else's videos

@ Jayden - i understand you so much, waiting for an answer is horrible, i'm waiting for a friends answer for so long and it's killing me not hearing something of him :(( anyway, i don't believe in statistic, i believe in personality, what you say and do is more important for me than the numbers of friends or how many stars you have or how many watched your videos (it's more interesting to know who watched them, lol). a nice comment about one of your videos is much more worth than thousands of viewers ... btw, don't know if it works, but if you still need the flag- and visitor-counter, put the embed-code in 'Profile Description' when you go to Edit Profile, hope it works :) hugs Chris

Hi Chris. Sorry but this is disturbing me, one reason is that I don't get any answers! Ok, I've only been here as member 107 days but if beginning is like this the futture don't look very nice. Numbers are only numbers but there must be some sense if like I said there's "only" 4 millions difference. What other differences there might be? Like yesterday mess with missing members, blogs, videos etc... Main point is that if you want answer to your question you should have it if you're an active member. With numbers and statistics...sorry. Waiting again for that answet but if not getting it it won't spoil my day:) Have a nice day and hugs from Saigon

sorry Jayden, but honestly, is this really important? it's only statistic and it never worked correctly for years, and who tells you which of the numbers is correct? maybe the one on your wall is, so who cares? only believe in statistics you falsified yourself
