Is the video search age approaching?

Although this is sad, it is true-we can evaluate the maturity of any market by measuring the extent to which a market can be manipulated. according to this measurement, we can infer from the article "cheating techniques are undermining video sites and misleading users" by Wall Street Weekly that the video search era has arrived.
Wall Street weekly found that many users mark irrelevant keywords on video clips, which can be seen from the search results of popular query words. For example, if you search for a popular video game device named "Xbox Nintendo PSP" from Google's YouTube, the search result is: nine-minute short film promotion for travel to Argentina, fashion show models, German patrol and band Queen concerts.
The reason for this is that the text descriptions uploaded by YouTube users to video clips containing hundreds of characters are incorrect. For example, the descriptions of many video game devices are varied, there are both device names and lists of names of many countries, such as Brazil, Bulgaria, and Canada.
Fortunately, there are not many incentives to intentionally cheat in uploading videos, because writers cannot directly make money by watching the videos they upload. however, if the video search engine explores a new revenue model, it is foreseeable that this cheating method will become popular.
