"A view of the video counts for the charts in the same way that a view on a remix or an instrumental would" despite literally looping the chorus of the tune which is a classy line like "i've been fuckin hoes and popping pillies man, I feel just like a rock star".

This is fuckery at its peak and I feel sad for Post Malone and his ilk as he may feel like a rock star but he will never be one . Rock stars are an endangered species in 2017. IMO its immoral to have a "music exec" cook the charts by moonlighting as a Youtube exec.
