Netizens also pointed out the hypocrisy of the label for accusing Shaun and Nilo of chart manipulation when JYP themselves are buying views. Netizens point out that MV Views are used to win awards and gain recognition and the companies like JYP are just buying that now, which is unfair to other artists whose views are real.

Netizens also pointed out that the views to likes ratio of JYP groups is far higher than other kpop groups such as BTS, EXO, BLACKPINK, and Red Velvet. This is a sign of views gained through advertisement, on Youtube, when a video has many views but not enough likes, those views are considered fake or bought.
