You shouldn't pay for a view that didn't really happen.

Tobias Mørch-Hansen

Every view-based campaign carries a quiet risk: some views aren't real, or aren't worth anything. Bot traffic, a video barely watched, reach that looks fine on a screenshot and means nothing.

On most platforms, catching that is your problem. On Burst it's ours.

Every campaign runs through fraud review. Flagged content is checked against watch time and reach quality, and views that don't hold up are dropped before they reach your bill. You pay for genuine views, not inflated ones.

This matters more than it sounds. When you pay per thousand views, the integrity of the count is the whole deal. A platform that waves weak or fake views through is quietly charging you for nothing. One that removes them is protecting the exact thing you're buying.

That's the gap between a number you hope is real and one you can act on. Your budget only moves against views that earned it.

See how your campaign's views hold up.


Until next time,
