I'm not sure there are fake likes or views on the video, since the totals are all pretty low by internet standards, but likes are bought to create the illusion of popularity. If someone comes along and sees a page and notices they have a strong following, they assume the page is doing good things and is popular and are more likely to also like/follow it so they aren't missing out. In the context of the Roam-e, if they artificially increased it's following to make it look like people were really into it, they could get more interest from those looking on, thinking 'oh this seems popular, it must be really good, i'll follow along too' kinda thing. Pretty superficial stuff, but that's social media.

I don't hold but I did see this pop up in Reddit yesterday I think, that would have driven a fair bit of traffic to the youtube video.
