maybe, the whole 1 the k version thing some acts did was weird.
i just thought it odd as i was looking up mgt yesterday.
anyway to og dance practice is at 13 mill 45 mill be hind .
Youtube stats(digital/online stats as well) are just weird/unreliable in general. Rankings(including nielsen stats for US tv ranking/stats are just imo not accurate-relying on self reporting I think/read somewhere).
Only recently has sales/stats approached a measure tats quantifiable but its still far from 100% accurate. No one knows the percentage it diverges from true sales/listens tho. Could be 50% or 10%(more likely 70-80% maybe but tats just a guess.
As for MGT uploaded vs official upload, could just be bots/auto views on the reuploader channel(hv u seen the videos of China teens with dozens/tens of laptops viewing vids on each laptop? I doubt the accuracy from knowing stat/viewing farms hv existed at all, tho probably fewer nowadays than ever/peak[unless its just an urban hoax])
