What do you all think about the names that some youtubers give to their subscribers? (Example: berries, swamp family, unicorns...)
If you do this how did you come up with your name?
 
I'm thinking of calling my fans droids because my name is DownUnderDroid so it kinda goes I guess but I'm not sure yet if I should
 
I have not really got a name for my viewers. I am not a huge fan of the name fan for channels.
(See what I did there ;)) But a random name off the top of my head could be my Fireshockers maybe lol
 
We don't call our subscribers anything in our videos (besides calling them viewers), but we call them Fat Sausages behind the scenes.

Hate em. I even hate the word "fans".

I have people that view my videos, sometimes they subscribe.

I agree with this, I think it's just an all round demeaning term to use towards people who are helping you. It just get a sense of narcissism from a person who uses it aswell. I much prefer the word supporters because it is a lot more accurate and respectful.

I would never give the people who watch my videos a universal name, they are all people and they all have names. I don't need to call them something collectively for the simple fact that I don't feel the need to alter their identity so it appeases me.
 
I called mine the duck army, my avatar is called duckie and he's the main "brand" for my channel so to speak.
I think it's rather effective in establishing a sense of "being a part of the team" as a viewer ;P
 
I have thought about it but I don't really know. If some of them want a name, they can have one and if others don't like the idea, they don't have to use it, will be the thing I go with (most likely) :) I just call them my internet friends anyway
