Everybody in the industry and most kids today KNOW that you can buy youtube views.
Just ask that asshole from Korea that purchased a majority of his views for publicity.
You can't tell me that one shitty song, "All About That Bass" Meghan Trainor -- got over a billions views??? A billion???
Youtube is always busting artists and their agents for view stuffing their online videos.
The vendors supplying the views are getting more sophisticated and harder to catch.
It's just a huge PR joke. Anybody with cash can make a shitty video and spend mega bucks to view vendors and pump their video into the billions of hits until the media picks up on it and declares the song an online viral hit. It's all BULLSHIT.
Like billions of people on this planet are watching Taylor Swift videos?? BILLIONS??? People forget how many a billion actually is. It's not fundamentally reasonable that 5-10% of the entire planet has watched a Taylor Swift video.
And that Psy guy, 2.5 billion??? How many people on the entire planet, about 7.5 billion, So even if people watched it twice, 1.25 billion people, that's about 16% of the ENTIRE FUCKING PLANET?? Please. What a total crock of shit.
Rhianna and Timberlake were already busted a few years back. Google it.
