There is something odd with my channel...Out of nowhere my videos started gaining views like crazy crossing 100 view barrier, one even reach 1k views.....which was the first video to do so...Am I getting viewbotted by somebody?

Maybe, though I don't think it's something to worry about as long as it's not you doing that.

If it's really viewbotted YouTube will probably remove the views. If it really isn't you then you don't really have to think about getting kicked out of Freedom!.
Thank God! :D I've been trying to track the location...a lot of views has been coming from Netherlands!...[DOUBLEPOST=1488392280][/DOUBLEPOST]

When the analytics pull through, take a look at the audience retention and geography of where they're coming from. The most popular one happens to be a reaction video of what was a semi-popular thing at the time. So while it's not unexpected, I'm not particularly pleased with a reaction video.

Well...technically it's not a reaction video because it was a game I downloaded on Gamejolt! :D But you have a solid point!
