Are YouTube "thumbs up" manipulated?
Anonymous Coward User ID: 54305874 United States 04/04/2014 11:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Are YouTube "thumbs up" manipulated? I've noticed that the most illuminati songs always have high ratings and views while old school songs comparitively make a blip, it's as though the current young generations outnumber us gen x'ers and y's by a massive margin if these ratings were to be believed. I think it's a form of brainwashing weak people into thinking more highly of evil morally bankrupt music sponsored by the nwo. Absolute crap songs receive supposed 100 mlion views while classic timeless so he from the 60s-2000 receive maybe 1 million? Maybe 10 if they are the most popular songs of that DECADE? I don't get it.

Yes, we're outnumbered by the Millenials and a huge proportion of them are tasteless fuckwits. The You Tube thumbs accurately reflect how much the future sucks. I'm so sorry.

The thumbs up are meaningless.Record companies pay for upvotes.Not directly.They pay "media companies" to generate thumbs up votes.These media companies create and control millions of fake accounts that do the actual thumbs up for who ever pays them. Then Youtube itself actually edits thumbs up votes.For example a few Ron Paul videos with over 1,000,000 up votes suddenly reset to 0 during the last presidential election cycle. Same goes for facebook likes. Any public opinion these days can be rigged to say what ever anyone wants with a little money.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 41779542 Makes sense.. and the same goes for music charts as I understand it. Someone at my work from Sri Lanka was saying that he doesn't like western music based on the fact that you have to listen to it a few times to actually enjoy it, which to be honest I agree on with most 'chart topping' songs..
