Description

Hello good people,

There have been some changes after Chrome v112 which can lead to view deletion issues. Until I release a new version for this script please install Chrome v109 or earlier for safety. And if you have Chrome v115 script will not work because chromedriver download location have been changed 2 days ago.

Fix:

• Uninstall your current Chrome browser
• Install Chrome v109 or earlier ( https://filecr.com/windows/google-chrome/?id=582061732000#version-history )
• Stop Chrome from auto-updating itself (please google it)
• For Windows users run this disable_update.bat as Run as administrator to enable or disable the Chrome auto-update feature
  disable_update.zip

If anyone's views are not deleting, comment your chrome version here so that I can further investigate.

wait for the new release. until then keep supporting the project for future releases.

Environment

- OS : Windows 11
- Python : EXE without Python
- Script version : 1.8.0

I have the latest version. Unfortunately, all my views from the past few days got deleted.
While you are releasing a new version, can you please also consider the heavy traffic "issue"?
It took me to spend 500MB with 15 Videos on low quality.

Hey, i have installed v108 and it seems like, that It does not show ads anymore like before?
Do you guys experience the same?

Edit: Its working, lets see if views count. :-)
Thanks in advance

What changes have happened in the latest chrome versions? I am working on a YouTube selfbot similar to yours, and I'm curious about what is changed

[taran0026]

How to stop chrome's auto update? I tried deleting the Update folder as well as stopped Update services, but it still updates on it's own.

[MShawon]

@JijaProGamer they deleted this var key = '$cdc_asdjflasutopfhvcZLmcfl_'; from chromedriver which was widely used to detect chromedriver
@taran0026 check again I included a bat file inside the zip file

[JijaProGamer]

You don't need to edit the source code and edit files of chrome, you just need to pass a few command flags and inject a bit of JavaScript.

[taran0026]

@MShawon Are you talking about killdrive.bat? That is used to kill all chrome instances.
But my issue is to stop chrome from updating itself. Chrome automatically updates in the background. How can I stop that?

v108

How do I get this version, there is nowhere to find.

[taran0026]

@Doiwriteacode You can find the v104 setup, just use that

Google Chrome keep self-updating from version 106 to 115 despite all methods online (included the .bat file in this repo) were tested. It's like it has his own will.

[AiTechBytes]

You can easily deactivate it using 1.6 or 1.7, for Mac.
For Windows its not working.
But anyways, since all my viewers get somehow deducted, I'm not using it rn, at least before the new update is released :)
Much appreciated

@MShawon Still waiting for your update. I have downgrade chrome to v104 but still all views are getting drop within 24 hours. Could you please update the script.

I think he knows that a lot of us are waiting for the update, no need for a reminder. If it was an easy fix, it would have been already released.

@AiTechBytes How did you resolve the view dropping issues? I tried many things but again facing the same drop issues. Please help me.
Chrome 105

Read his last comment... He is NOT using the script for the moment, he's waiting for the new version.

[AiTechBytes]

Unfortunately, I stopped using it after views dropped, even with good proxies and running version on Mac.

@Monetized Channel-User: Question to those who used it on the monetized channel; did you try it with residential proxies? How was your experience?

@MShawon My Dear, I know you are stressed, and the project is not sponsored. But are you even working on it right now? If not, do you need any support (I'm not tech)?M we have some people around who are willing to help, and I could to my part with donations.

Other question: Not sure if it was asked, but would it be possible to run the bot on "search only" mode?

So either: Full (as before, to no interrupt human interaction) or search only?
This is very helpful to push the impressions, get shown the Videos to many other people, and also improve the CTR.
And I assume, that the risk for monetized channels would be a bit less, if there were a file like search.txt, just with gmailaccounts.txt

So that it automatically picks a Gmail account to act more human-like.

And probably you can think about turning off the "Free Proxy" feature, could be the case that Youtube detected the scheme of the bot because of that. But as i said, I'm not techy, just assuming.

Off-topic: For all who are monitzed, are you using such tools? CPM work or anything?

[MShawon]

@AiTechBytes yes I'm working on it.. it's true there is no support for the amount of work it takes.. anyway after tweaking some code I need to wait 2 to 4 days to see if views are staying .. that's why this update is taking longer than expected..

Don't use it right now.. wait for future update

[AiTechBytes]

@MShawon Much appreciated for your answer, my friend!

1. What do you think about the "Search only"-views for pushing the impressions?
2. Is it feasible to allocate a G-Mail account to each Chrome profile; so that the views seem more trustworthy?
   I am not asking for clicking on the like button or something.
   Is it just allocating to each session a Gmail account? There are so many ways to create massive bulk mail accounts.
3. What about turning off the "Free Proxy" Feature? Im not tech, but from a logical point of view, this might also affect the drop rates because the pages where to get those proxies are known. And at some point, the algo might detect the pattern.
4. I will create another channel and try it with a monetized account then, for educational purposes, of course

I appreciate any help you can provide.
And keep going with your excellent work!
I saw your "baby" on other platforms, and everybody appreciates you.

Best
