The 'The Verdict with Ted Cruz' YouTube channel has 460,000 subscribers but most videos have under a thousand views, which seems 'fishy' and 'out of alignment.' This suggests that the subscriber numbers might be artificially inflated, possibly through buying subscribers or using bot farms, or a substantial drop in genuine engagement since its initial popularity around 2020 and the I Heart media deal in 2022.
