There's A Difference Between SNSD's M/V's reaching 100 million views vs. These other newer groups hitting 100 mil

[Ginger91]

Soshi's videos were UNIQUE views, people genuinely interested in the video or the song.

Twice's, BTS, etc. views are different because they are the results of mass streaming by fans, which is why views are being removed bc spam and shit like that. That's why it took longer for soshi to get 100m

Soshi's videos were UNIQUE views, ......

[Binggeul✯☽]

Tbh, not many people were even on yt when Soshi was in their prime. Queens should be acknowledged (along with the whole of second gen aka the real trendsetters).

[wonumon]

Oh boy

you hit that trigger

[Twicebreaker]

Hyh?

[Mees Madds]

That's bullshit. The real difference is that both youtube and the kpop community were not at the big level they are today. 

[Ddeona Oneul Bame]

I mean, I'm sure SNSD has their fair share of views that are just fans streaming~ Maybe not as much early on, but there were defs people spamming other MVs to watch Gee and Oh when they were getting close to 100 mil~

Exactly. Comparisons when it comes to views should stick between each generation of groups.

I remember that sone that played IGAB on repeat on every computer in their school

[jungeunbii]

kpop: where youtube views are a problem

 

GEEZ, let's just watch the music video and not make it a big deal lolz

[Akpheart]

1ST AND 2ND GEN GROUPS WE APPRECIATE YOU; KINGS AND QUEENS OF K-POP AND ALSO THE WORLD.

 

Good enough?

 

Stream Spring Day and Not Today on YouTube.com.

[DOOLY]

That's bullshit. The real difference is that both youtube and the kpop community were not at the big level they are today. 

[-Amethyst-]

Unique views i don't think so. But years after years there is more kpop fans so I think it will be more easier to newer groups to reach 100milion views

That's bullshit. The real difference is that both youtube and the kpop community were not at the big level they are today.

[Pyo Hyemi]

T R U E 1000% FUCKING TRUTH

[Rohan Kishibe]

Or you know the internet and international fandom is way bigger than it was 8 years ago.

[caipirinhas]

When will you all stop making posts about this.

[shaym]

That's bullshit. The real difference is that both youtube and the kpop community were not at the big level they are today.

My question to you is how do you even know this? Do you work for youtube? Are you close with someone who does? 

 

Fans can stream 24 hours a day and will have absolutely no idea if any of those views counted, because no one on the outside is privy to how youtube counts views. You see all those fans in the comment sections having streaming parties and each fandom making a special poster about the right way to stream, yet all of it is based on assumptions. I do think SNSD's early videos hitting 100 mil is a bigger deal than when groups do it now, mainly because of how bigger and widespread kpop has gotten and how much easier it is to accumulate views. But don't say anything if all you're working with are assumptions and literally zero evidence of what you spew.

[SGT]

you really think mass streaming didn't exist before 3rd gen debuted????

[nuguland]

I guess it must be hard seeing your fav slowly dissapeared on the record's table

[Kawther]

i dont know about the unique views but i think people  dismissed as irrelevant because of the mass streaming i mean its not really cool when you find out that one person contributed with 10 000 views and they even brag about in the comments:

 

i had the office free at break time and i played the song on over 70 posts!!11!!

 

i had my phone, tablet, pc... ext  all playing all day!!1!1

 

i have been watching for 7 hours!!11!!

 

 

 

you need a life

[TAE AMO]

lmao at you thinking snsd didn't have sones mass streaming. if you have a fandom there will always be mass streaming by fans

 

kpop just has a bigger audience now a days
