A sub for sub that makes a difference

[SuckMyDax]

Any kind of "Hey. I'll watch your stuff if you watch mine." feels like a bad way to start a relationship. It rocks that you came up with a new and "improved" way to try and get this to an agreement that would actually work (and hell, maybe it will... I wish you the best!) but the fact of the matter is the end result will very likely be the exact same result as every other sub4sub arrangement made. Folks who are sincerely trying to hold up to their end of the bargain and support those they subscribed to getting screwed over by those who only use the system to get new subscribers and then completely ignore the other person's channel.

There is nothing positive about sub for sub exchange in any form of fashion. You just need to do the hard work in making good content and getting your videos in HIGHLY trafficked online sites and other outlets such as radio, podcast and etc. and keyword optimizing your video. Work smarter not harder and not in a lazy manner

I'm not saying I would do that, in all honesty, people that do annoy the tits off of me. I see your point though! Everyone's so focussed on getting bigger when they should be working on just enjoying the ride.

If I'm checking out someones channel (if they have asked or not) I always watch two plus to decide if I like it or not. I don't think sub for sub is good in any situation & unfollowers are never fun really so I wouldn't want that. Asking people to check out your channel of their own free will is fine with me, I'll usually check it unless I'm busy but sub for sub, nope

That is certainly more reasonable than the standard "sub4sub" model.

Too much effort.

I agree with you guys. It definitely sounds much better than regular sub4subz on paper, but it's also a lot more effort that I don't think a lot of people would be willing to put in. People who do sub4sub usually just want instant gratification.

Locking this.

Seriously sub4sub is terrible and not welcome here at YTtalk in any shape or form.
