I've Got It
When I first made a YouTube channel about 4 years ago I was looking for ways to promote. I found a site where if you paid $5 they would put your channel on a featured page.
I gained over 1000 subscribers in about a week.. and I've regretted doing it ever since. Looking back on why it worked so well, I realised if you subscribed to any featured channel you would gain on-site currency for things.. so people weren't subscribing because they wanted. Views and comments on my video's never changed.. I had absolutely no idea how many real subscribers I had or if they were even active. It was impossible to reverse the process either. Biggest regret I made.
