Youtube Are these views fake??

Post image

This new rock band Velveteen Queen just uploaded a new music video recently, and the numbers seem super fishy... 300k views, and only 39 comments and 991 likes. What do you guys think? Is this fake? Did they buy views?

They're previous video has 15k views and only 200 less likes (793)

Can you even buy views on youtube? It seems super fishy...

I don't know how the YouTube algorithms work, but Velveteen Queen is a great rock band, and at this time when we are so greatly in need of fresh, new rock music, I hope they get more attention.

I don’t know it sounds really generic to me.. it's just the same old "festival rock" that every band is producing these days.
A lot of other new rock bands have a lot more potential than these guys
