Yeah he's using ads for his music video, I got an ad for his music video when going to watch his video. K-pop impact I guess.

:suburban:

 

It's an ad for the iPhone 16 Pro and the OP will probably be mad when this shows up on his Tiktok, Facebook, and Instagram thanks to the algorithm.

The Stupid Love Ad was a different clip, not counted towards the Official MV, thus, not counted towards Official Charts

It's the same with this one, the ad is using a different clip and scenes with some texts over it. Is it possible that a different clip from the official MV be counted toward the official MV views? Ngl it's sus that the views are suddenly increasing at a rapid rate if it's not cuz of this...

That's what I thought too but the clips used in the ad are also different from the one in apple YT page...

This thread is really giving "if a man does it it's okay, if a woman does it it's wrong" energy.

Yup yup something fishy. It's not like people suddenly going crazy over the song. The comments section is so slow. The sudden increase in views is definitely from the Ads.

People on this forum are such hypocrites. This thread would be over 10 pages long if the same topic was about a female pop star. Yikes. :biblio:

It's at 18M now 😮 Sorry this kinda screams fraudulent lol usually you can just skip the ad but this one you can't at all and you're really forced to watch it. And seems like the 15 secs ad count as a whole view? Is this the first time it's happening for a music video?

Running Youtube ads is not payola :rip: You think that your faves would get millions of streams without any kind of marketing?

And def it was Apple running the ads since they wanted to promote the new iPhone

He's being DEFENDED even. Like in that thread claiming all his music sounded the same, which is true :dies:

because Kissland sounds like After Hours which sounds like Thursday which sounds like the new song he just put out? do you even listen to his entire discography? :dies:

More than a 10 million increase from it's first day. Not fishy at all :spin:

Running YT ads is fine imo but this one we are FORCED to watch. There's no option to skip it. But yeah this is all apple's stunt.

Depends on if you are on YT premium or not, but most non-skip Youtube ads are only 15 or 30s max. There's no way they forced you to watch a 3 min ad with no skip
