The view count itself isn't why they are buying views, it is the ranking in search and related videos.
I find youtube/twitch have the same problems as the CPM industry. If you punish the provider of content for negative viewer action you provide a means for competition to cheaply force the content creator out of the market.
This is why twitch doesn't punish view botting, as any viewer could spend $5 to shut down a $50k/day stream.
If youtube really does use a guilty until proven innocent method then they are just punishing honest content creators that don't understand the dynamics of online media.
