YouTube Got botted

[JA Gaming]

Hello Freedom!
I recently have gotten botted on YouTube (not by myself) and I wanted to know if you could help me get on top of it and turn my analytics around? Any tips on how to do so would be much appreciated.

When you say you got botted, was this for views or interactions - so comments, likes etc?? Typically YouTube has a baseline of people's channels and if things suddenly spike (for example views) this will be monitored, and reviewed - with fraudulent views / subscribers being removed later by YouTube to ensure that only 'true' and accurate analytics are shown.

I was botted with views and subscribers

As mentioned typically those dead / ghost subscribers and views would be removed by YouTube after a while to reflect the true analytics of the channel - there isn't a cast iron deadline on this, but it will get sorted

Depending on the amount of views you may not have to worry too much (if it was only a few hundred or something). Also there is a possibility that someone has posted your video somewhere, maybe a large youtuber found your channel or something like that. If there are comments along with the views ask them how they found your video.
