Commenting on videos?

[Junr55]

It kind of depends how you comment. Commenting in and of itself is great! It only becomes counterproductive if you were to comment for the sake of creating a ruckus for no reason, or self promoting your channel. Self promotion on YouTube can work, but tends to backfire more often than not. But i'd say go for it!

I understand that commenting too much will look like spam. Does YouTube have a limit on the amount of comments that can be given each day?

Try to find small channels too! You'll get drowned out on the popular channels. I like going on reddit and finding other small gaming channels. I leave a relevant comment and allude that I have channel too like, "Oh I want to do a letsplay of that too" "I made a montage video of that too"

I agree with this. I always comment on small channel that I like. Partly just to share my love with someone who is in my position and partly because it can't hurt if some of their subscribers check my channel out. I never explicitly ask for people to visit me channel though. If it is relevant, I will try to subtly mention that I have a channel, but if not, I don't.

Not sure if any of this is working, as I don't know where my subscribers come from. At least its fun!
