I don't know if is true, but this account hit a lot on chromatica's and Madonna's last album / tour info 

That insider kinda said he was in a conference call with Bobby and lost any credibility ( :poot:) they had. The reason he is saying that is because of this:

All insiders copy that account or what's on here - but it came from that account first 

Stare at the Chartster in the mirror they talk to me too. #StreamFunTonight

It's a lack of common sense if you don't suspect something is fishy when a song that peaked at #59 in the US, #37 in the UK, #55 in Japan, and #47 in Germany (biggest music markets) has a video with almost 1 billion views.

Maybe the Latin American countries hopped onto the song years after it flopped because they're the biggest markets for YT now :zilla:

With that being said. So is "Radio Deal" real? Cause there's no proven explanation for it either but we all know that it's a thing.

Argentina: OUT, Bolivia: OUT, Brazil: OUT, Chile: OUT, Colombia: OUT, Ecuador: #47, Paraguay: OUT, Peru: OUT, Suriname: OUT, Uruguay: OUT, Venezuela: OUT.

Guess not. zilla@2x.jpg

It's lack of common sense to assume that Katy's label is buying views for that 3-year-old video when her current lead single is struggling to crack 20M.

Katy’s team is most likely not paying for the views. In this specific case it really doesn’t make any sense. If they wanted, they would give those to Diseases.

YouTube is a complicated platform to measure success. The biggest source of views are suggested videos and playlisting (when talking about playlisting most comes from the “daily mixes”).

That said, this platform is much more lean back (in where the users don’t necessarily choose what they want to view/listen). BA must have been added algorithmically to a “Mix” or is being suggested after a popular (or a series of one) current videos.

Thank you!

I fully believe they didn't pay for Bon Appetit or Swish Swish's views. Both videos just went viral because people wanted to see Katy crash and burn (the dislike bars speak for themselves). And controversial videos with high dislikes are more likely to benefit from the YouTube algorithm, because it indicates that this video is something that a user should form their own opinion on, because it IS so controversial.

However, I do believe there was some sort of doctoring for both Never Worn White & Never Really Over. If the Rolling Stone is writing a huge OP'ed about labels being able to manipulate charts by doing a $30,000 investment in YouTube ads, it is actually SILLY to assume that labels were not taking advantage of this.

The difference between NRO and NWW is that NWW was released after the TrueView controversy with that one Indian artist breaking the YouTube record just by placing ads everywhere. Ever since that, ads don't count towards the view counter anymore and YouTube has become increasingly stricter with suspicious views and actually removing them (Katy losing 10M views after a few days, BTS losing 30M views on release day).

Those twitter accounts always tweet something and delete their tweets when the things don't happen which is the case with gaga everytme since she's releasing nothing she has in stores

It's a lack of common sense to assume that a video can only gain views when buying said views. Ad-supported views, playlisting, etcetera. No one wants to add Daisies' video anywhere cause it's just unappealing.
