>>101164344>It has 36k likes in 3 weeksThis logic is faulty cuz you're assuming that each of those daily 17-13k viewers are new/unique views that will leave a new like, when in a likelihood they're just recurrent viewers
If was being boosted by ads like you claim (I don't even think that would work since YT is super stingy about what is counted as a "view") then the initial batch of views would've likely looked more stable but, you can see there's a that natural drop-off over time (17.5, 17.2, 16.8, 15.6, 13.5) then it just fucking flat-lines
What's weird to me that it flatlines at 1.2 on Jun the 8th, but then it doubles back up 3.9 on Jun the 8th. It honestly makes me YT is just suppressing the song's views
