Sorry for posting on an old thread, but youtube views don't work like that.

The first 300 views for a video are counted per click (whether unique or similar, and the time watched can be less than a second) though only 25-30% can be your own (or the view count will be paused until the views reach the correct ratio).
After 300 views, the video must be watched 40-50% of the way with a 30 views maximum per IP. (If your video is 5 minutes long, the video must be watched for 2 minutes for the view to count).

If each video was 5 minutes and you had 10 videos, then they would need thousands of workers getting paid less than a penny per hour.
The person selling this server is bypassing youtube's view counter somehow, and it is against the youtube policy. Follow the rules in the terms of service instead of trying to cheat the system. Youtube has automated checks for view counts like this, and though they might not ban you, you will be put on a list of users with offences that cannot become partners or monetize from videos (especially if you are trying to get views with a provocative avatar).

If you want video views and subscribers, post on infrequently viewed channels and post "Nice channel man! I subbed to you, could you sub back?" Gaining subscribers is how your videos will gain views naturally.

Hope I helped you understand what service you are buying into,
