Youtube views are now vastly inflated by the "auto play" function. If you find a particular song there's a number of other songs that get put into the auto suggested queue over and over and over and over again.
For example - I can remember at least 20 times during the past two weeks or so that "Toto - Africa" came up in the "playing next" when I wanted to listen to something random while keeping the auto play option on. I didn't choose it or search for it even once even I like that song. So that would be 20 additional views without even selecting it.
My guess would be that 90 pct. of these views are actual "auto play" views based on "most viewed in category" etc. and not people actually searching for it.
The views for these videos are now massively inflated by auto play.
