So, I don't want to say they're completely on the up-and-up, but you _are_ looking at the corporate YouTube channel.

Their "Carlos Watson Show" channel looks a lot more legit (though nowhere near the numbers they're claiming): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyF0994XbriKL_Vss0fTUMw

and they also produce podcasts, news articles, and newsletters that presumably have some subscribers: https://www.ozy.com/pg/podcast/ https://www.ozy.com/pg/news-and-politics/ https://www.ozy.com/newsletters/

Are we looking at the same Carlos Watson show? Looking at their most recent upload, it has 363 views in 3 days, and that's actually above average.

Well, ‘a lot’ is relative… But yes, I agree with you.

Best part of 100k subscribers - and views for the videos 1 week ago: 223, 223000, 249, 188, 82, 232, 570, 123, 14000, 102.

I guess they forgot to buy followers for the Carlos Watson Show instagram account, 1,075 followers. Although it does get about as many likes and comments as the posts on the 'corporate' Instagram account with its 655k followers.
