Video services like youtube and twitch can fake subscriber numbers... do you think this is done on a regular basis in order to boost the perception that certain people's views are more accepted? (Conspiracy)

Saw a video of some girl talking about how she is so humbled to have so many describers and it made me think about how easy it might be to boost your popularity through fake subscribers.

A quick internet search showed tons of sites advertising to do just that...

What are you opinions on this regarding extremely high subscriber level youtube personalities and information providers?

If there is no way to verify how many subscribers are real does any of it even matter?

It works. I subbed to Casey Neistat just cause he had so many subscribers then after my second video I was just like, "wtf is this guy even so big for?" and couldn't see what made him so popular so I unsubbed. I'm usually pretty reluctant with subscribing to people too but went for an impulse sub cause "well he's popular so he must do a lot of cool shit."
