OlderAvril Lavigne is Owed $2 Million From YouTube
Avril Lavigne and husband Deryck Whibley exit Madeos restaurant with a doggy bag on Sunday night.
The 23-year-old singer’s music video “Girlfriend” became YouTube’s most-viewed video ever, and has been watched more than 93 million times. Lavigne’s manager says YouTube owes her around $2 million for views of her videos on YouTube.
Avril’s fans have been banding together to inflate the play count artificially by using a constantly refreshing website that adds one pageview every 15 seconds to her music video.
A YouTube spokesperson made the following statement: “We have safeguards in place that limit the efficiency of this type of behavior, to make sure that advertising campaigns running on YouTube only reach legitimate viewers and are in no way affected by inflated view counts or gaming activities.”

read avrilbandaids.com statement, avril fans didn’t cheat with an auto thingy
I love her but it’s kindda stupid from fans to inflate the play count artificially… that’s just silly and the fact that everyone knows makes it not real …
Am I understanding this right? She gets money from youtube because youtube has shown her video….Ungratefull for all of the publicity she got?!! She should pay youtube the money!!
Out of all videos, how did that crappy song get the most views?
She won’t get those money, because she doesn’t deserves them.

BRITNEY’S VIDEOS PIECE OF ME AND GIMMIE MORE WERE MOST VIEWED VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE BUT YOUTUBE DELETED THEM FROM BRITNEYS TOYTUBE ACCOUNT
i mean britneys youbube*
and ive heard that avril payed them
Yes, we all know she sucks as an artist and her fans are just as a big of lying cheats as she is.
she looks cute :]
#6 The Fan : She’s not taller, Avril is 5′1 and Deryck is 5′4 (celebheights.com)
For that much money, she better shows us a homemade pron flick!
Yeah, I keep reading that he’s 5′4″, but I don’t know. The only time he ever looks noticeably taller than her is when he’s wearing his giant platform shoes.
owes? she’s out of her mind. there’s no agreement for anyone to get paid for views. what a has-been.
Sounds like a Metallica ploy to me. If some thing’s on youtube, it appears everywhere.
the word ‘jerk’ comes to mind.

What a *****. She should be thanking youtube for the publicity she gets. Talentless, ungrateful and money-hungry.
**** avril
omg i hate this stupid girl so much!!
why she won´t desapear?
i will love that
**** you stupid *****
i’m just gonna listen some good music for forget this girl exist
go watch Interpol, thekillers on you tube (good music)
Avrils great and her manger said they owed her its ok
I am a fan and i’m not a cheater
It always makes me laugh that people say they hate Avril, but they can’t seem to stop thinking about her.
I WANT ALBUM #4!
EW.
My God her husband is BUTT UGLY! Figures the only way she would get that many hits is from her looney fans. LMAO!
@Portia: She can sing and write songs. And you call her talentless? Are you stupid?
avrils the bomb she rocks the house down i love her
Only stupid people who have no idea about music would call her talentless.
Awesome.
Girlfriend didnt reach #2 overnight, and it didnt chase down #1 over the course of 16 months by using a cheat that would refresh the page every 15 seconds. There’s statistical data that would have shown an enormous increase in views because once you announce a cheat page, the fans could never have ‘carefully cheated’. The results of an announcement like that would have shot her daily view count to way over twice as many easily.
And about the money ‘owed’ ? People pay youtube to host their advertisements and they are charged according to the number of views the page gets. From what youtube gets payed, the artist or author of the video gets their cut. It’s simple business with the wording twisted to make somebody look like a bad person so the article is more interesting. The news is barely ‘newsworthy’ if you mention that many other artists and record companies have the same contract.
She is a p*ch !
after all the riputation shes got because of youtube?
she is sick and dosn’t know when to stop thinking about money. but its not her, but us to blame for watching such a video.
And I wont listen to any of her songs ever again…..

pues si and is the best
avril I love you’re the best
avril avril avril the best forever
bye
avril for one isnt a bad person at all, all this media and press **** are what is making her seem like a huge bitchy brat. Which her true fans know shes not. And what the hell is she posing as if shes posing??? Shes being herself….you know that thing where you do what you want and dont let anyone else mold you into anything?? Like all of LA does. Avril is the **** and will always be the ****.
and im pretty sure she could care less if she gets anymore money since shes taking her concerts and using them to raise money for charities.
The Avril is too much! I am the number one fan of it! at least the paraná! D
