HOW Is This Guy Getting So Many Views?

I've Got It
There's a new channel on YouTube called WowItsBeeki, and he's posted six videos so far. All of them have thousands of views, but he doesn't seem to have much of a fanbase. The videos are about popular topics, usually new songs/music videos, and the video title is exactly what the song is called, without anything else. ("One Direction - Best Song Ever", "Lady Gaga - Applause")

His video content is basically nonsense, he makes high pitched noises and babbles nearly incoherently about the subject matter for 30-90 seconds. The thumbnails aren't really misleading, he places a picture of himself in each one. Before anybody says "he gets views due to covering hot topics", his videos are competing against thousands in search, his tags aren't that great, and he gets quite a few dislikes. I don't think it's botting because he receives a lot of recent, non-spam comments and I did see his Lady Gaga video on the "related videos" sidebar of her new song. (the second question would be "how did he get it there?") How do you think he gets so many views? One called "Teen Choice Awards 2013" already has nearly 7000 in a day. It reminds me of HowToBasic, but people actually enjoy his videos. I'm confused because this tactic of making 30 second viral-related videos seems like it quit working after 2010.
 
Well, the Teen Choice Awards 2013 was like two days ago. It kind of is topical, and therefore lots of people search for it.

Just cos. People like silly.

You could say the same about me. I get thousands on some of my vids, but my subs don't anywhere near match up to that.

i hope someone can answer this because it drives me nuts too
 
Hmmmmm there could be some botting involved here? One of his videos has 125k views, but only 58 comments :/ I hope it's botting, because there are people here on this forum that deserve that many views, and they don't have it. Youtube makes me sad sometimes :(

Yes, but that would require him to have a good description and tags (his are terrible) and an audience who doesn't want to "punch him in the face", which is a comment he gets over and over again. I checked, his video isn't within the first 3-4 pages of search for "Teen Choice Awards 2013", I can't find it.

Wow that's not legit. There's no way. YouTube is a very predictable machine. 125k views would at least warrant 1k comments!

I've had similar stats on videos back in the day, probably closer to 70 comments for 100,000 views. That's what happens when you get too viral-crazy instead of trying to make good videos.
