Well, it seems fake news or just ‘fake’ in general is not limited to Wall Street. No, I’m not talking about the Dow Jones headline of Google planning to buy Apple for $9 billion. I’m talking about Morgan Stanley buying millions of fake viewers on Youtube to artificial build a social media platform.

Glancing at MS’s Youtube page, you will first notice 4,800 subscribers, and over a two week period an average of <100 views per video.

Then about 3 hours ago, a video titled: “What Will You Create?” shows nearly 627,000 views. Odd right?

Well not exactly, this is called ‘view count gaming’ and it’s downright not allowed on YouTube.

YouTube’s Policies state: Purchasing views for your videos directly from third-party websites is NOT ALLOWED.

Notice the video from tonight. There are more than 627,000 views with 2 likes and 0 comments. With all those views wouldn’t you expect a higher engagement level? Well, that’s a major red flag of buying illegal views and a direct violation of YouTube’s agreement.

Back in September, another video with +300,000 views has 13 likes and just 2 comments. Once again, another major red flag of low engagement level considering the amount of views.

Simple google search: ‘buy YouTube views’.. We found pricing Morgan Stanley might have paid for fake views..
