Finally, youtube is taking steps to delete content like this. Let's hope it's just the start +++

"The wildly popular Toy Freaks YouTube channel featuring a single dad and his two daughters has been deleted, amid a broader crackdown on disturbing children's content on the video streaming platform.
Toy Freaks, founded two years ago by landscaper Greg Chism of Granite City, Illinois, had 8.53million subscribers and was among the 100 most-viewed YouTube channels before it was shut-down on Friday.
A YouTube spokesperson said in a statement: 'It's not always clear that the uploader of the content intends to break our rules, but we may still remove their videos to help protect viewers, uploaders and children. We've terminated the Toy Freaks channel for violation of our policies.'
'We take child safety extremely seriously and have clear policies against child endangerment. We recently tightened the enforcement of these policies to tackle content featuring minors where we receive signals that cause concern,' the statement said. "

Who the fuck is actually watching this stuff to make the huge view numbers?

Pedophiles looking to jerk off or to "shop" for children.

primarily "automated" clicks kicked off by real humans on real or virtual devices in third world countries.
not real views, but really played on a device somewhere.

Why are they clicking those videos? Why are the videos so creepy if its just for click fraud?
The fake viewers are clicking these kind of vids to build "background" for the bots to make them look more real or what? And this dude accidentally figured out how to attract the fake views?

a video with 9 million views "earns" about 13.5 thousand dollars, when properly built..."unique enough" content and over a specific length.
roughly 1,500 dollars per million views.
"companies" like QQTube will charge 450 dollars for 1 million "fake but organic" clicks/views.
the channel manager/marketing company gets 45% (generally) ($675)
so for 1500 of earnings, they might clear $375.
use a metrics plugin - some of these channels earn more than a million dollars a month, so the operators are pulling down 200 to 300 thousand.
i've done lots of research on these clowns, and i have lots of information about the ground level "operator" group, they're not always great at concealing their locations or even their names. it's wide spread and pervasive. they exist all up and down the east coast, in several hotspots in the midwest, and in a few west coast locations.
i see them in canada, london, brazil, ukraine, russia, and vietnam. there is a presence in australia and japan which i haven't fully mapped out - but once i realized how many of them really were in the U.S., that's where i concentrated. I am convinced that there is a group behind the group which ties it all together.

Voat user @amyjames has devoted all her time to investigating. Apparently, the comments on the vids are full of Pakistani fans. Also, one of the two girls may be a girl that went missing several years ago and has been trafficked.

Pakistanis liking a bunch of weird content revolving around little girls? COLOR ME SHOCKED.
