This is mostly directed at those who like to bring up YT numbers while ignoring the like to dislike ratio of those videos :reigns2
I don't wanna be the guy to support Roman but likes and dislikes mean nothing, not even to youtube's algorithm. I know this has been repeated ad nauseaum, but all those people watching Roman videos just to dislike it are still watching his videos. And if they were gonna leave, they would've left much earlier. Its been 3 years and they are still there, unwittingly helping the Roman Push train to chug along. Maybe this kind of heat is actually sustainable in the long run. Wrestling fans sure have proved that so far.
He is saying that WWE are paying for views to inflate Romans youtube numbers. And honestly, I would not be even slightly surprised.
Because youtube has integrity? Nah, I just don't buy youtube inflating views. Unlike social media, the platform is now a large industry in terms of ad money and income. Basically, many firms and people rely on it nowadays and having a large firm to be allowed to manipulate views could severely damage other people who make a living and manipulate ad view time, ad revenue etc basically theres a lot of implications in doing that. Plus, if that were true then youtube would be populated far more by corporately created shows and youtube channels but that isn't the case. In fact, corporate youtube channels tend to actually suffer heavily despite having the funding.
They're not paying youtube, they're getting a third party to set up bots and padding views for their videos.
It does when they are presenting these numbers to their shareholders. They are walking an extremely dangerous line by presenting false information to their shareholders during conferences.
I don't think it makes a difference to the WWE but I do wonder for myself what the average % of a Roman video that the audience makes it through in comparison to Cena, AJ, Nakamura, and others is. I think that'd be a real metric to see how engaging he actually is. How many idiots just go and click on his videos just to dislike and immediately leave?
That's the point I was getting at... A lot of people go on to his videos just to dislike the video and post something negative about Roman. They don't actually want to watch him, they're using it as a means to express their dislike for him.I don't think it makes a difference to the WWE but I do wonder for myself what the average % of a Roman video that the audience makes it through in comparison to Cena, AJ, Nakamura, and others is.

It's fucking fake? Color me surprised
