I think the perspective here is all wrong.
Subscribers and daily views can be faked very easily.
What is most important should be the quality of the content. My network has low view / sub requirements because we understand Youtube is an ocean of content where most videos drown, regardless of their quality.
We rarely accept new Partners because most applicants are rejected on the basis of quality. Videos that are poorly edited, filmed and just don't have any entertainment value aren't right for our network, since we want to program our creators content in a TV Guide we're developing.
