Let me guess, it doesn’t matter that Kendrick bought views and comments?

1) There's no rules in beef
2) All hit songs are astro turf
3) Botting froze the song and took it off trending so who do you think did it lol

The YouTube numbers for Kendrick's diss tracks were definitely botted (as were the likes on those songs), especially in the first few days following their releases. That much is clear. No other Kendrick songs or music videos ever got that much YouTube activity upon release. Not even back in the DAMN. era, when YouTube was still very strong for US acts and he dropped the videos off that album.

As for Spotify, Not Like Us being pushed relentlessly by their algorithm and by autoplay is a proven fact. It's also a fact that you can opt in via your label to get your song pushed by their autoplay algorithm, a service they usually run for the first few weeks following a song's release. Not Like Us will play for you regardless of what song you play before it and it's included in multiple playlists it has no business being in. Multiple people have reported this.

Also, Drake's diss tracks being heavily disliked on YouTube was also being done by bots and by people who wanna blindly hate. I've always believed that.

I will say that the numbers Not Like Us pulled on Apple Music are legit because Apple Music has a very strict policy regarding bots and they don't run that autoplay s***. That's why the song never broke any streaming records on Apple Music.

I think it's clear to everyone that Not Like Us is a legit hit. It's numbers just got boosted in the days/weeks following its release on multiple streaming platforms to make it seem like a much bigger phenomenon before it actually was. It's the same logic behind why a few days after the song dropped, niggas were recording the song being played at clubs to force a narrative that niggas were feeling it like that. It eventually caught on, but there was a clear push to establish it as an instant smash so Kendrick could seal his victory in the beef.

At the end of the day, it's whatever. I'm over the beef at this point and I'm ready for real music now.

Music sales have been faked for 100 years. Every artist from Kendrick to Drake to Michael Jackson has had their numbers inflated

Prior to streaming the record labels themselves would buy the albums to make artists seem bigger than they actually were to generate interest.

Spotify used to be in Drake's corner heavy and now not as much. Drake fans didn't bat an eye when Scorpion's album cover was all over everyone's Spotify even on gospel playlists.

Drake benefits from autoplay as well

If you want a barometer of how big someone is just look at their ticket sales.

Kendrick is big. Drake is bigger.
