Do you have a name for your viewers?

It depends for me. "Babies" and "Minions"? No, I hate that, it sounds like I'm being insulted. But, sometimes people find the perfect word for their Viewers. The best person that does this in my mind is Tobuscus. I love it when he calls his Viewers his Audience. I feel like it's an actual Compliment, kinda like he needs us, as much as we need him. I feel kinda connected, in his web of Subscribers, I feel like I'm respected by him... And then I laugh my pants off... But, I do really think it depends on the word/words that you use to describe them.
 
It's a very interesting idea that I see working in a lot of places and a lot of people love it while others hate it, I think it all depends on how you go about it. I see it a lot of time with live-streamers aswell as youtubers these days. Personally I'm not a huge fan of it but it does seem to bring a community closer together, especially if you call them something different than others, you can often see people meeting up all like "oh yeah, i'm a (name)" "wow, me too! I love his/her videos" etc...
 
I used to say "Mediocre Regime" on my old MediocreMichael account, but that was admittedly retarded. Sometimes I comically say something like "I'll never forget the little people", but I'm not being serious. I don't think saying "fans" is very egoic, since the reason I sub to people is because I'm a *fan* of their work.
 
In my videos whenever I reach a subscriber milestone I'll be like "I can't believe there are ___ of you cuties" but when I'm talking about them offline I occasionally call them my "raesins." (like raisins) I don't mind it when people call their viewers pet names, I think it makes it easier for the fans to connect with each other. It doesn't seem practical if you've talked to them though, it's mainly for the nameless/faceless ones you haven't really had contact with. I do it to personalize them a little bit more. The only reason I don't say it in my videos is because I don't have that many subscribers and people will probably think I'm being pretentious haha.
 
ksi's subscribers are called the ksi army. What's your opinion on our subscribers being called the SOCK party?:D
 
I hate this. I think it's quite arrogant, you might as well call them "minions". If someone called me their 'pet name' I'd close the video and never return.

Just my opinion.

Thanks Sludgers ;)
 
I do not..though I do invite folks to join "Team Turwinkle".:laugh2: But cannot think of any name for my subs that would not sound too creepy.."Turwinklets?" "Winkles"? LOL!
