Wow. Thats pretty scummy.

Like has been said, this guy would have very few active subscribers.
More likely he is trying to build a channel to sell it to someone else with a "built in" subscriber base.

I don't like getting those comments, but I do tend up responding (though I respond to their "nice" part since it boosts my engagement)

I made that mistake also , Someone said ; ;;This is pretty great bro! I found your channel on a forum and liked and subscribed! Your channel honestly has a ton of potential. You truly do deserve more subscribers. If you are at all interested in perhaps collaborating or gaining more subscribers check out my channel <won't put link here> ! Can't wait for you to post again!!''

i was like omg someone loves it, he did subscribe me, but later he saw him posting the exact same thing to others. Bit dissapointed.

Haha! What a load of bs that is. I had something similar very early on. I was really naieve at 10 subscribers and this guy said I was amazing and he's going to shout me out. I thought great! Then went to his channel and yeah I needed to subscribe and like the video blah blah blah. So I didn't bother. It's stupid[DOUBLEPOST=1484206632,1484206556][/DOUBLEPOST]

Hardly worth your time. Shout out videos are becoming a plague of YT. The chance of each person getting one that has followed the instructions is slim. Even if they do get one, the likelihood of those new subscribers watching future videos and being an active part of the subscriber base is even slimmer because they are there for the same reason as everyone else - to get their own shoutout.
My shout out series is the correct way to do it. ANY shout out series that has "requirements" is literally another form of sub4sub. Youtube needs to crack down on stupid crap like this honestly.
