I do not consider subscribers as fans, just wanted an opinion on this subject since some youtubers do call their subscribers a nickname...Im with Mark on this, I am struggling to consider people as fans let alone give them names but YouTube is pushing the term a lot and the viewers consider themselves fans these days so it is hard to avoid that kind of terminology on YouTube now. I think I think like that because of how fans can be perceived ie. screaming/crying for someone famous crazily because they love them so much to the point of obsessive lol
*Slow clap* Stellar response.[DOUBLEPOST=1430835751,1430835664][/DOUBLEPOST]To be honest, if you can't come up with a name yourself, they don't need to be named. Sure it might seem to be cool to name your fanbase, but most people don't. If anything, they'll give themselves a name over time, given you become large enough for fans to converse with one another.I can't stand when people give their viewers names. My Mom had the right to name me, nobody else.
This is true - its best not to call them anything - Imagine me calling my subs guitarists? People would actually leave lol. There is a difference between people who support your channel and the obsessive "im your number one fan" nonsense - which actually happens alot (I have encountered this and I have a small channel)Im with Mark on this, I am struggling to consider people as fans let alone give them names but YouTube is pushing the term a lot and the viewers consider themselves fans these days so it is hard to avoid that kind of terminology on YouTube now.
