People that beg for subs

[Heyon]

Since I started youtube a few months ago, this has been something that I had found extremely annoying. I've had a few successful videos that got around 300 views with 35-40 likes and about 20-40 comments (I know I know but to me that's success) and I was also given a shout out and ever since than, I get people that comment something generic like "Haha great video, do you mind checking out my channel?". I know you didn't watch the video, I know you just came here wrote that comment and drifted into the distance to go spam other fresh and new youtube channels. If you guys do that please stop, it's not gonna help your channel one bit. If you give a reference to the video in the comment, personally, I'll check your channel out just because, but a "amazing, check out my channel" doesn't work.
If you cant spare time for them, why should they for you?

Tell me what you guys think about this, if you ever encountered people like this etc. !

oh yeah man, I DEFINITELY know what you mean. It annoys the hell out of me. There was this one guy on my older channel that asked for a "sub4sub" in the comment section.

"Yeah, great video bro. Mind subbing to me? I'll sub back"

b***h, you ain't foolin' me; I know you didn't watch the video.

Great someone brought this up.

Back when I first started it definitely happened a lot. I would get a comment like that on just about every video, and now it seems like they're getting even less creative in their approach. I delete comments like that as soon as I see them.

Every single day.. thankfully YouTube throws 90% of them in the spam section. But I still have to clear them.

THIS! I actually had a guy on Facebook post up on a thing I was asking the members "I am making a new channel, mind subbing while I set up" Ummmmmmm no. Why the hell would I subscribe to a channel with absolutely no content?

If I get a comment that actually shows they have watched my video. (i.e "I liked the part where you did X then Y happened") I will hesitantly click their stuff because I see it as a huge advertisement on my stuff which I don't like. If they leave a generic "Nice, please watch me!" nope. They get deleted

Aw man, great thread! You mind checking out my channel and subbing?

And yeah, that crap is annoying. And it won't work. I mean, you think bigger channels got big by going around and doing that? I really don't.

Yup, nothing to avoid these!
Lately alot of gaming channels have also gotten into the Shoutout Train. "Be active on my channel and subscribe and you might get a shoutout dude!"
Yeah, why would I need a shoutout from a lad with 300 subscribers which subscribers are faked because they all want a shoutout?
My biggest advice, stay out of the shoutout business, giveaway business and all those related stuff. They might seem like good ideas but they really bring you nothing more than inactive and dead subscribers, which is what you want to avoid!

Subs ultimately come out of luck and because of good content. Content is always king with Youtube. People will say SEO is king, but SEO will only bring people to your channel. If your content is good, people will share it FOR you because it's so good that they think others would like it. I'm pretty sure that's how big channels get big. Now, people have weird tastes, so what I might consider crap is considered good by a multitude of shaven apes (lol). Not hinting at any big gaming channels at all here. Nope.

Exactly! Perfect use for a quote here. "The system is rigged against you, your hard working talent will not pay off. Taylor Swift telling you to follow your dreams is like a lottery winner saying, liquidize your assets, buy powerball tickets, it works!"
The quote is a li'll rough but so is life, and so is YouTube.

People that do these kinda things are pathetic. They can't get subscribers by actually earning them, so they just do sub 4 sub or do like: LIKE FOR THIS.. SUB FOR THIS in the comments. What you can do to give yourself exposure is to comment beneath a lot of videos with like: Great video, and something about the content.
