No, they weren't fake. Sony Music Entertainment moved all their music videos to the VEVO channels. Then they deleted all the videos on their old channels. YouTube later made a change so that views from deleted videos no longer counted towards total view count, which explains the lost views.

Sure, it's fun to bash corporations and think that they're all evil. But if you're going to do it, at least make sure what you're saying is true.

No, that was the rumor. A few publications simply jumped to conclusions early on. How about you search for the true story? From the TechDirt article:
The report suggests that YouTube has begun a big campaign against view inflation by YouTube users across the board. That part is true. But the untrue part is that the major labels were faking so many views. Instead, it turns out that most of the issue was just that the labels had moved their videos from YouTube to Vevo -- the online video site that the labels had started a few years ago (built on top of YouTube technology).The reason those went away was much more mundane:

The answer comes in the second way that YouTube changed its view count. The company recently decided to remove view counts for videos that are no longer live on the channel, or so-called "dead videos." For Universal and Sony, that meant thousands of music videos that over the past three years slowly have migrated to the VEVO channel, which is jointly owned by the two companies. A senior label executive confirmed the migration.... ​
​
That meant high-profile videos that once lived separately on the Universal and Sony YouTube channels have been relocated to Vevo. As a result, the views that those videos received during their time on the dedicated label channels were taken away in YouTube's latest "clean up" effort. ​
​
In other words, those views happened; they weren't "faked" or even double counted when they went on to Vevo. But because the videos are no longer on the channel, YouTube considers them "dead videos." They still live on in YouTube, just under a different channel. ​
