    With my extremely scientific method of “clicking on trailers for random documentaries and seeing the ratios” the like-to-view ratio is typically in a range from 1-10 to 1-100. The biggest outlier I saw was probably Will & Harper at about 1-400. The AI Doc is about 1-800. Also interesting is the comments. Will & Harper has about 6400 comments while the AI Doc only has 640, which would be comparable to something like Murder in Monaco, a documentary trailer with about a tenth of the views (and also has a comparable amount of likes).

        Sorry if this is unsolicited, but I decided to put a bit more rigour into it and check the average of 100 netflix documentary trailers from here
        https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvahqwMqN4M0fmh2gjEqNbUA3uCVMZbDB
        And make a chart.

        Like so

        That dot on the top right is the AI doc.
        The dot on the bottom right is UNKNOWN: Killer Robots
        The dot on the top is American Symphony
        In both of those instances they’re comparable on one axis but not the other.
        So basically if this chart’s correct there’s definitely cause for suspicion. Moreso anyway.

        Edit: I made a typo in the data, which gave UNKNOWN: Killer Robots and UNKNOWN: Cosmic Time Machine a higher View Per Like ratio than it should have. Here’s the new chart: Like So

        The new Furthest right are now
        American Nightmare
        and
        Will & Harper

          Damn, that is way, way bigger than I thought

          The other guy is probably right that its a case of AI fanatics using chatbots to summarise what its about without actually engaging with it in any meaningful way (liking and commenting)
