It’s kinda funny, honestly. I made a comment saying BamBam’s new MV views are mostly from ads and got instantly downvoted by Ahgases 😂 I didn’t even mean it in a hateful way. There were already posts in this subreddit questioning why the engagement ratios (likes/comments) don’t match the huge view count, so I just added some context. Many people were defensive saying things like “people don’t like or comment much anymore,” or that the numbers are high because of the kiss scene, the popular actress, or the whole of Thailand backing him. I get that, but the data just doesn’t back it up. If you look at Youtube Weekly Top Music Video Chart (Oct 10–16), Bambam’s MV is not even charting there and it's a global chart, meaning Thailand’s views are counted too. The lowest entry on the chart (#100) has around 4.1M+ views, so if he’s not on the chart, that means his real organic views are below that. That’s not an accusation, it’s literally how youtube charts work. Paid/ad views don’t count there, only organic views counted. There’s nothing wrong with using ads either as it’s a promo strategy, and many (not all) artists do it. It helps with visibility, especially for global exposure. But pretending those are all organic views or denying anyone who points it out doesn’t change the numbers. It doesn’t mean he’s not successful, it just means most of the views heavily depend on ads, which is totally fine. I just wish some fans could accept data without taking it as an insult 😅 https://preview.redd.it/gvhbfc3933wf1.jpg?width=1085&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6119f882a196702b6b2ee8b7716a6aa74f685e40 https://preview.redd.it/b9taqr8m33wf1.jpg?width=1252&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=95672109d733a8d603329dfe4b084f88f8e9cb62 submitted by /u/fxdydx [link] [comments]
