TechCrunch didn’t frame this as an expose - they’re presenting it as the secrets to success.

Even the TC article was fake/dishonest.

Dan Greenberg has no business taking credit for Cloverfield’s (the movie clips he refers to) success in Youtube.

“The article begs the question: how much of TechCrunch’s own success is due to working the system?”

Why does it beg that question? This was a guest column published by TechCrunch, exposing that person’s “marketing” tactics, not Mike Arrington’s.

How about trying something really tricky - like making a video that doesn’t suck, instead?

Don’t act so shocked about this stuff - everybody has a few tricks to pimp their stuff on YouTube.

Here’s a few tricks I use - put a few sexy words in your tags - like teen, sexy, hot, naked, etc.

Make your video or headline tie into something else that’s already hot.

Have several accounts to bump up your views and get things off to a good start.
