Absolutely. Those numbers are peanuts in Youtube scale. Popular Youtube videos regularly get 10m+ views. It's similar to back when WSJ went digging for days and managed to find 2-3 racist videos with 10k views, then refreshed them until a Coca-Cola ad showed, to screenshot it. Most of these are manipulating reality to drive their narrative. I've yet to see a proper scientific and thorough example of this actually happening.
- ericdykstra 8y agoYeah, just pluggin in the "far-right figure on YouTube" that they highlight under the heading "From fringe to mainstream" into Social Blade, you can see just how "mainstream" this guy is: https://socialblade.com/youtube/channel/UCYo2MjFS5C7Wynyty9wTM7g https://socialblade.com/youtube/channel/UCYo2MjFS5C7Wynyty9w... Subscriber rank: 347,946th Video view rank: 680,665th If YouTube is promoting this content so much, at the very least you would expect the video view rank to be higher than the subscriber rank, right?
