It’s pretty clear that VR-Rock is trying to mess with comments on Reddit if you’ve read the blog linked here:
The article lays out some solid evidence showing how the company uses different tactics to sway public opinion and create a false image of their products. By pushing only the positive feedback and hiding the negative stuff, they’re trying to boost their reputation and trick potential customers.
When it comes to YouTube, it’s a bit trickier to spot fake accounts because you can’t see a user’s comment history like you can on Reddit. YouTube allows for more anonymity, which makes it harder to tell what's real. Still, there are some clear signs of suspicious behavior.
For example, you might notice a sudden flood of positive comments on certain videos right after a marketing push. Plus, some accounts seem to post glowing reviews everywhere, but they don’t really engage with the channel's content. These patterns can hint at fake accounts or orchestrated campaigns aimed at artificially boosting VR-Rock’s image.
I’m not accusing anyone of using sock puppet accounts to post comments on YouTube, since it’s tough to definitively identify fake comments there. But considering what VR-Rock has done on Reddit, I wouldn’t be surprised if they have a bunch of sock puppet accounts on YouTube too. Let me give you one clear example, and if you’re curious, you can dig deeper on your own.

They just bought four YouTube accounts and posted exactly the same comments, all praising their own lenses.
