YouTube actively adjusts subscriber and view counts to reflect actual numbers, discounting things like purchased views and subs - which are traceable by the IP addresses used and the frequency of views amongst other things.

Basically - Alec paid for views and subs, which explains his sudden rise in popularity... but YouTube is on to it.

Remember when he accused Tommy Craft of buying views for Horizon when it overtook Prelude in popularity? I guess it shouldn't be surprising that Alec would resort to that himself.

I really don't get why people watch YouTube "stars"..........looking at her videos, almost every other one is listed #RANT. She seems to hate everything. Movies/Shows/Other YouTubers.......Calling the Picard show dead on arrival.....Captain Marvel will be a flop.........Discovery sucks.......I don't have time for these people.

I just don't get the hate watching of things and making a video telling others how much you hated it. If you don't like something, why invest so much time and effort watching something you despise.
 
On AxaMonitor: Robert Meyer Burnett's attorney criticizes Alec Peters' "unconscionably one-sided" settlement offer in legal dispute with Axanar's former director. We have an exclusive copy of that letter. Read more »

There are apparently ways to legally produce books ABOUT Star Trek (and other media properties) without being authorized but that skirt those requirements. Check out the entries for authors Edward Gross and Mark A Altman on Amazon. They are prolifically publishing guidebooks and other nonfiction works about Star Trek, Battlestar: Galactica, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Rocky, etc, including photos obviously from the productions themselves, yet all clearly labeled as "unauthorized". They've been doing so for years; I even have a couple I bought in a regular bookstore. So there must be a legal niche for those sorts of works. Some unauthorized and unlicensed material must be able to be sold without being sued. You just need to do it the right way...

But I doubt that a "guidebook" about Axanar, itself an unlicensed fan film, could qualify as an exempted publication.

Yep, I agree but an 'art book' WOULD use 'Star Trek' images and need to be licensed.

Could it be because they are only discussing the shows and things from a historical perspective?

Did you mean to say "More than meets the PIE"?
Dang, I made one polite comment On film factor and got reported, the team of experts are reviewing it now ....lol
I have my doubts the Star Trek future is going to end up the way people claim it might.
Probably more like Afghanistan and Warlords running around attacking each other while selling poppy patches for profit.

Good God, I went back to the last three pages and Peter is still going on about his Axanads. People don't give a shit about it anymore and we here probably have burnout just reading about it.
