VERY SUSPECT, OBSCURE YOUTUBE CLIPS SUDDENLY GONE VIRAL

I don't know if this has anything to do with the bombs that Project Veritas dropped recently but there seem to be certain clips on yt that get a very high number of views and now landing on the trending list.

For instance, check the Kitchen Nightmares channel on ýt where they uploaded an old clip with a sprayed steak that hit 7 mill counts withing 5 days. That's more than any other clip they've uploaded within the last 5 years and it's not even particularly extraordinary.

Maybe I'm being way too conspiratorial here but to me this just seems very weird. What do you guys think?
