I do have to wonder how much of that is due to fake accounts.
I was looking over Wikipedia's lists of most watched youtube videos and wondered the same thing there. Lots of them are music videos and I'm sure recording companies are inflating the views to some extent, especially early in.
- asdff 4y agoFake accounts or no, its hard to find opinions among even smaller bloggers who don't at least tacitly kowtow whatever is debated among the major players in media at the time. You see it even on HN too, with certain regular 'major' storylines finding their way into the frontpage time and time again. We are only ever exposed to a limited set of opinions that fall within a range considered acceptable, given the incentive structures of media. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda_model https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda_model
