Other Want To Get More YouTube Views?

You give a good point. A few, maybe depending on the quality, but not everyone, probably.

That is not even counting the people who just spam their videos without giving back, freeloading. Let me say I barely have enough time to keep up with the approx 100 ppl I am subscribed to. Now imagine if you must watch every new video that shows up in that grp.
Again, not bashing the idea. It would work in theory. But in practice it falls apart.
You are better off with a bunch of loyal subscribers and friends that will actually communicate, watch, like, give constructive comments than this. I have made quite a few good friends that genuinely like my videos. They comment, like, and give genuinely comments that make my day. It is better to have those than robots who watch your vids just so you will watch back.

I've been apart of a couple of these groups and they really did nothing expect bloat my views for a little while. As soon as I stopped, so did they views coming from it. It would only really work if the you could somehow assure that the people will watch the hole video; which they won't.

Im picking up what you are putting down - i didnt think of it like that. Im still new to this youtuber thing so im not 100% sure how everything works but from what i understand, viewer retention is key and from what you are saying, this could be very harmful to that.

Viewer retention is key. It is probably number one in Youtube search ranking factors. That why large Youtubers with high retention due to a loyal fanbase rank so dang high.
In fact this retention rate ranking system was probably introduced to counter fraud views like these.
And dont feel bad about being new. I assure you when I started my channel I made so many mistakes it wasnt funny. Should have got a Snowball mike... xD But you just gotta learn from mistakes.

This sounds good theoretically, but in retrospect, the group is going to end up being a spamming of videos to people who really don't care. It may sound harsh, but I've been a part of these groups before and nothing good (or bad) came of it. My views went up a bit, maybe 10% at the most (rarely) but my user interaction stagnated -- and that's what really matters: interacting with your subs.

If you want more views you need to advertise properly without spamming. There are certain ways of going about this and although I can explain it here, I'll end up going on a tangent.

Best of luck

I second this, I wouldn't recommend doing this to grow your channel. It's a little bit like trying to take a shortcut to growing your channel, rather than doing it by putting out great content & creating a relationship with those who follow you.

This does seem like a good idea initially, maybe there should be sub networks or different categories of interest so people can choose what they want to watch but then that may be more work than its worth.

Yeah. By all means, go for it and see how it works for you, but it personally didn't help me out so I wouldn't recommend it.

Yeah, that's a good idea. If I were able to choose which channels within the network interested me the most, I would leave more thoughtful comments and would enjoy this more. There would also have to be some rule about watching the whole video (or at least several minutes of it if it's really long). If some rules like this were added, I would be willing to give this a try.

My thoughts exactly hopefully he replies and let's us know if our suggestions can be implemented
