Using Discord

[CarlosDominguez]

So I wanted to ask if y'all use discord for your youtube channel, like do you use it for collabs, or if you have that join button? I'm just curious.

I have the link to my Discord server in the description of my videos, as well as the name and number on my end screens.
Discord has helped my channel tremendously. I (partially) wouldn't be at 100 today if it wasn't for the boost from Discord. However, Discord also can be a double-edged sword. you need to be careful when choosing which servers to advertise at, and how often.

okay thank you for the tip @DieuGirl but what do you mean by discord can be a double edged sword? are you referring to trolls?

Well yes, but also dead subscribers (people who subscribe to your channel, but never watch or like any of your videos.) plus not all servers on Discord are 'advertise friendly', and many of them have rules about how you can advertise and how often.

okay @DieuGirl I think I understand where your coming from cause I just looked at some of the discord servers rules yesterday.

okay @Anushka I'm curious of this tool that your friend uses but my main concern is not in the numbers its more on creating better content.
