Yes, that is exactly the case. Nobody remembers that there are actual people on the other end that made these videos. Hence, you get trolls, spammers, and the like. And just like you said, once they realize that it is an actual person, their mindset changes completely.

I agree!! That has been the case for me too in a few cases. They appologized, ect...It does make me feel good that people actually appologize, since we're all people trying to have fun, or have a laugh...no need to get so weird sometimes! Or they just want attention...any attention! Sometimes the best way to get a vloggers attention is just to be nice

Only fun way i can think of is through collaboration and that is it. Any other methods are usually just time consuming and a lot of effort which eventually you will have to do such as through social media or here on forums itself. It's all on how you do it and perceive it at the end of the day. You won't really expand much if you don't work hard and do the difficult work as well.

Other than creating engaging content, keep uploading and what I've learned in some YT seminars is audience engagement at the end of the video such as "Thank you for watching, you guys are great if you haven't subscribed yet please do" and also creating channel art that includes a 'Subscribe' button and a schedule for when you plan on uploading new videos (eg; Mon and Tues); these are really the most preferred of ways. Naturally you can also do contests (which are pin pointed at subs only) and also find more carrots to put on the stick; external subscriber-ship can be garnered via your own website, instagram, facebook, twitter and other social outlets where you can request without much forms of spam. Just my two cents ☺
