Despacito has 7.4b views on youtube
That’s basically everyone in the world, have you watched it? I haven’t until a few days ago when I checked yt and saw it on default recommendation, that’s more people than there are with YouTube accounts, or at least active ones

anyone who would make more from ad revenue i guess. there's no chance that 7.4b actual people actually pressed play on that song, so to me it smells like bots

Yeah, does seem fishy but how

Also how much money did they make if it was actually monitized…

Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up has 1 billion. that's at least 420 times the population of Earth divided by 69.

Don't trust youtube numbers. It's been proven that youtube will "fortify" views/likes of videos they deem . . . .in line with their principle.

dunno tbh. beats me how much did they made, depends on the ads i guess. but even if all fans of the song actually listened everyday and then some it still wouldn't gather 7.4b views, so it seems like someone bought bots massively and had them re-opening the window 24/7, and then made the money back from ads + profit, bots dont skip ads either

It’s so weird, something huge could come from this, lawsuits and stuff, probably
