I think it's high time we address what's NOT supposed to be circulating that's been causing people to be discouraged in streaming.
It's not a secret that i'm part of the team that records the MV data for BTOB & what that troll is saying isnt consistent with the data that we have

We've been closely monitoring our views and our data is CONSISTENT to the core. Accdg to the referenced website which im not gonna mention, they say that when an MV gets views from ads the trend gets random spikes in number of views
The sudden spike only happened during the first 24hrs at 2-3AM KST after a slowdown of views at 12mn-1am KST. We suspect that YT mustve slowed down the views instead of freezing it when they realized the sudden influx of views (maybe they saw it as spam or bot behavior)
But with our first week data, yes the 1st week we hit multiple millions left & right the data is consistent. We noticed that views are high at 6PM-12MN KST, climbs up higher at 12MN-6AM KST, slows down at 6AM-12NN KST then picks up again at 12NN-6PM KST.
That has been the behavior since November 17 until today. So it's consistent and corresponds to the timezone of where most melody are from.
Bottom line, sure there may be an ad campaign but the number that the troll said is highly unlikely with the data that we have.

Another thing to be noted is the ratio of likes & dislikes in the MV. If there's a huge ad campaign the dislikes would be more than what it is now. Taking into consideration too that maybe the person who came across the ad liked the music (who wouldnt)
Altho there are cases that the
and
button are disabled with an ad but... highly unlikely in my opinion.


Also to get on the trending page of a country, there needs to be a huge amount of organic views from multiple users. An ad cant put an MV in the trending page. Is the MV still trending in your country?

Just.. don't let a troll affect you. It's one out of touch comment that wants to be noticed in the sea of people encouraging one another to stream.
Melody, your efforts are valid. You did this. Ur phone battery is kinda fried bec u streamed so much. You sacrificed hours of sleep to see it get to another million milestone. You encouraged your mutuals to stream. It's all on you, melody. Don't let anyone take that away from u.
No one really knows how the views are counted. Like i said in this previous thread, what we can do is consistently stream and hope for the best.
Bec you know, no efforts are wasted when you do it out of love. https://twitter.com/hyunsiklovesyou/status/1329816184045268993
