Is This A Good Idea?

My channel is dead.

I used to comment spam and annoy the s**t out of everyone, and if I affected you I'm so sorry I see how annoying it is now. Basically it was extremely effective in getting thousands of subscribers per month, but most were kinda useless. It also got my videos tons of views but anyways, I now see the extremely negative effect it's had now that I've stopped for over two months.

Most of my subscribers are dead (not literally LOL) and I only get about 2k views per video now (I have like 16.7k subs). If you check my channel idk what's going on with my latest video since AdSense is saying I got 1000+ views yesterday (compared to my daily average of 100) and it just won't update I guess. But once again that's off topic. But yea, due to the fact that I got literally all of my subs from spamming people in one way or another, most have ignored my videos. Either that or when I upload a video over 150 unsubscribe.

Basically this is extremely demotivating because like all I do is lose subscribers every day and a ton when I upload which discourages me from uploading. Yet another reason why my channel is dead is because I had extremely inconsistent uploads, sometimes I would post within a week of each video, other times I would upload 3 months later.

The comment spamming and inconsistent uploads led to a high subscriber count with low viewer count. It's really bad and every time I upload I consider quitting, even though deep down I know I never want to quit.

Onto the question. As you can tell my channel is a complete disaster and nothing can really fix that. I'm considering starting fresh on a new channel, with a username I actually like and makes sense (I despise my current username) and uploading consistently a mix of new videos and past videos that I liked a lot and feel like they deserve to go on my channel again. I would have only my active subs there so while it would be small, it would be very active. It's seems like an excellent idea to me and a way to motivate me to do well and not let the new channel become a mess like my old one. What is your opinion?

TLDR: My channel is dead due to a mixture of inconsistent uploads and comment spamming. All I do is lose subs every day and lose hundreds when I upload, making me very demotivated. I want to start fresh on a new channel with all my active subs, a username I actually like, and a mix of new and old videos. Opinions?
 
That is an excellent idea! Fresh, new starts are always the way to go. If you love what you are doing then you will always get back up and try again whenever you fall down. I like to see that you addressed the problem or mistake and you are trying to fix it

By the way, I don't really think that getting views or subs from commenting on someones elses videos is bad or should even effect the uploader! i think that's b******t (That's just my opinion tho)

Plus you look totes funny so I will definitely sub to you when you start you new channel!!!!

Thank you so much! That's exactly what I wanted to hear!

Also it's bad because when you comment on every popular YouTuber's video every day the exact same b******t with the exact same fake thumbs up and comments, the other viewers get REALLY annoyed and start hating. The majority of my dislikes come from comment spamming, some have even subbed just to dislike whenever I upload. In addition some major YouTubers who were my inspiration for my channel to begin with blocked me, which is another bad thing about it. It also was the cause due to the fact that my channel was kinda shoved in their face and they just subscribed and never went back, whereas if someone stumbles across a channel and they like it they will be way more likely to be a constant viewer. Just my thoughts.
 
I agree, a new start is the way to go. But this time, don't spam and beg for subs/likes/comments, they will come slowly but surely. :D
 
I think you can adjust your settings so it doesn't email notify your subs when you upload. Maybe you just want them notified every once in a while. I'm brand new to YouTube so have no idea if that's a good idea or not. Just thought I'd mention it.
 
You're still getting a lot of views so I'd just keep on working on your chanel

This is true but the subs are just killing me. I haven't seen an increase in months... Plus I'll be reuploading most of my videos and actually trying to rank them this time, so if anything I'll actually be getting more views than before.[DOUBLEPOST=1408928016,1408898916][/DOUBLEPOST]Id really like more opinions, sorry for bumping!
