I mean, is there a voodoo?
People Are Actually Liking The Song And It Has Gaga's Name On It. Of Course It's Going To Be Hugely Popular
how could they possibly decipher which views came from where? It's gaining millions of views a day, they can't go through and see where those views are coming from....
YouTube found out, though. It's on wiki and they took the whole video down.

On 18 July 2008 "Girlfriend" became the most viewed video at that time on YouTube and in August of that year, surpassed 100 million views becoming the first YouTube video to reach that milestone. The YouTube video of the song was accused of having an exaggerated number of views due to the use of a web link posted by AvrilBandAids, a fansite devoted to Avril Lavigne. Clicking on the link would automatically reload the YouTube video of Girlfriend every fifteen seconds.
Fans of Avril Lavigne were encouraged to: "Keep this page open while you browse the internet, study for exams, or even sleep. For extra viewing power, open up two or more browser windows at this page!" It is expected that Avril's YouTube video views have earned in excess of $2 million (U.S). In November 2009, RCA Records removed the video of the song from YouTube, by which time it had received around 130 million views. The official video is now hosted by Vevo, a premium music video service owned by Google and Sony.
OMG, people really need to read thoroughly.
The video was taken off youtube by HER RECORD COMPANY, so they they could add it to her official VEVO page....
It says NOTHING about youtube removing the video or adjusting the play count, etc.

YouTube changed their policy on how views are counted, and you cannot simply refresh the page without watching any of the video. You're free to try, though.
