YouTube Deletes Over 10 Million Views From BLACKPINK’s “Lovesick Girls” MV + Responds To Fans’ Anger
Fans have been streaming BLACKPINK’s “Lovesick Girls” hard but they believe the views don’t reflect the amount of hard work they’ve put into it.
Some fans have reported that they saw “Lovesick Girls” MV lose 3 million views, different accounts on twitter told similar stories of them spotting the MV views going down despite their efforts.
“Lovesick Girls” MV views have skyrocketed as fans stream but the views didn’t match some of the records they previously set with “Ice Cream.” “Lovesick Girls” MV managed to break records for the 10 and 20 million views becoming the fastest Kpop girl group MV to do so, but the views count started slowing down towards the 30 million views.
Trying to get an answer, the fans have been massed tweeting this message,
“Dear @YouTube & @TeamYouTube
Views from “Lovesick Girls M/V” by @BLACKPINK were deleted. Also views have been freezing for about 3 hours. Please give us the actual view number. We are working hard for this. Thank you very much.”
One twitter account captured a screenshot of a moment when the views had gone up to around 45 million views only to go down by 10 million views back to 35 million views. One fan account tweeted at YouTube asking for clarification, they responded with,
“Thanks for reaching out – the view count may seem frozen or not show the numbers you’re expecting as our system verifies and removes the invalid ones. This is to make sure we’re counting them accurately. More on this here: https://yt.be/help/Jgao”
