Rant about entitled amateurs... -_-

Just have to get something off my chest (which is quite small, so this won't take long:tongue:).

I'm scrolling through the Collabs board here and seeing post after post of people with under 50 subs saying things like "You must have 50 subscribers or more to collab with me."

Ummm... excuse you?

You only have 50 subs (or less!!) and are looking down on and refusing to associate with people with fewer subscribers than you?

It's just sort of pathetic.

I understand that after a point, you might need to set subscriber limits on collabs for it to actually benefit you as channel promotion. But I mean... I have a little over 1.5k and I do collabs that involve lots of people and I don't set a minimum sub requirement. You know how many subscribers most of my current collab's participants have? Under 100. No big deal though, because the point is to make some friends and create an interesting video, not "rent" successful people for channel attention.

Rant over.

Well I agree with you, to the same point if someone says s**t like that the people with 1000's don't pay them any mind. When I had 3k subs back on the old ravenrage07 channel I only collabed with a few select people, some that didn't even have a channel anymore mainly because I was friends with them before they got terminated and never came back, or I was a huge fan of them even though they had very low numbers. The numbers don't mean s**t if a creator puts out a product that's DAMN GOOD.
 
Yeah I gotta say the focus of collabs should be more about the end product rather than solely for promotion. While collabing is a great way to promote, if the foundation of a project is solely to leech subs, it's pretty much doomed to mediocrity.

Also subs ≠ talent. Every big YouTuber started out with zero subs
 
Okay, I might be retarded (and probably am, but for different reasons, but thats not the point), but can someone explain me, the whole "I got into youtube for money".

That might be the dumbest thing ever, and I mean that. To say "i got into youtube for money" is equivalent of "i am going to start a breathing company, where people pay me to watch me breathe". And dont get me wrong, with enough charisma on your part and stupidity on the other part, it might work, however that is 1/10000000000 chance!

You might as well have a better chance at sitting by a highway, in hopes that the big black truck that carries all the money from bank to bank, has a break down in front of you, and all the security has a heart attack, and while having a heart attack they opened the vault. <---- that has a higher chance of happening and a better "I am going to be rich" strategy.

I remember in world of warcraft when they wanted you to have a special achievement to do a raid, some people just like to ask for certain expectations.

Even so, subs shouldn't matter to small-early collaborations, the experience should come first ^^

While that may be true for most people, one of the most important factors on whether a youtube channel succeeds or not is motivation. If money can be used to motivate someone to regularly crank out good content, so be it. There's a number of things that might be regarded as negative that you can use for motivation, but if it works, use it.

I couldnt agree more there, as long as there is a source of motivation whatever it is, if there is enough of it success can come from it.
 
there are probably asking for people with high subscriber number because they hope to get more subs and become YouTube famous
