Some People Missing the point of Youtube, Entirely.

I agree to an extent. But, I don't mind saying once in a while, in the comment section of a fellow musician something like, "Hey I'm a musician as well, I'd love if you would check out my channel!". I have done this before, but I agree it can get out of hand too. I was subscribed to someone last year that commented NOTHING but copy and pasted messages saying "Please check out my channel, etc".

Yeah, I don't quite understand sub for subbing. I don't know why you would want subs that aren't even going to watch the videos you make.

I think everyone promotes themselves in different ways. Personally, if someone says "I'd love if you would check out my channel" - I pretty much never do.

If someone makes a comment on my videos that doesn't ask that, I'm much more likely to, oddly enough.[DOUBLEPOST=1366516136,1366516005][/DOUBLEPOST]

I guess you could look at it like that, but from the perspective of the Community is What I'm Getting at here.

I think it's challenging to define the "Community", really. Part of the community is people who make videos for a living. And if their content is good - I'm gonna watch it. Your point about sincerity and passion is valid - but the folks who are passionate about what they do tend to do well on YouTube as is. But as a viewer - if I'm taken in by what they produce, I don't see why I should hold anything against them.

That'd be like boycotting a movie because one of the actors is obnoxious in real life.

Maybe you should make a rant video about it? Who knows, it may get you lots of views?[DOUBLEPOST=1366515811,1366515726][/DOUBLEPOST]Youtube has been a biz for a couple years now. I know many people who use it only for business purposes.

Yeah, it's kind of like talking about something in a funny/angry way. A lot of people do it for comic effect. :D
 
When i see those spammers or other types of ppl on youtube that annoy me i just go

Good luck and shut up are another of my reactions to those ppl
 
The worst ones are the ones that say a generic 'nice video' or whatever that shows they didn't even see it and quickly throw in 'btw check out channel about so and so and blah blah'.

No wait.. the REAL bad ones are the ones promoting or advertising int the comments about something not even related to Youtube. I seen some where some guy (or bot or whatever) keeps promoting some online job or whatever and how awesome it worked for him and whatnot... in a video that has 100% nothing to do with what he's talking about.
 
Hi I'm Karlobster. You may not know me now but someday with your help you probably will. If even one person reads this, that's a miracle.

I'm from a small country called the Philippines and it is really hard to make films here and get noticed.

But the YouTube came and I believe my dreams will come true but only with your help. "Insert corny stars and hearts and s**t here"

Head to my channel and watch my newest short film "generic firs person shooter action film #127383626. Then will you see my passion.

Thank you for reading and know that I'm glad to just have touched your life.

Amen. *insert more stars here*[DOUBLEPOST=1366535071,1366535024][/DOUBLEPOST]XD

GRR I was gonna make a post just like this, you beat me to it!

I'll admit I did sub4sub just for my first 2 subscribers, and I don't regret I actually met 2 people on youtube who I have done collabs with and learned a lot about how to improve on my videos, but I would never do this on a large scale.

I have never posted a comment to advertise my channel, but I'd be lieing if I never said I thought about it once or twice :/
 
YouTube is like beauty, in the eye of the beholder. I don't like being told what YouTube should be or mean to me. Yeah, maybe it should be that way for YOU. As long as people are following the rules, it can be whatever they want it to be. The stuff I don't like I avoid..

I run my channel the way I like to run it. Personally I do it because I enjoy it and I love helping get people in the kitchen cooking, on another level I love it so much I would rather do it full time that working in a hot, sweaty, fast paced commercial kitchen cooking the same dishes over and over and over again.

That's what YouTube is to me. If to someone else it's all about business, hey good for them and I hope it works out. If it's a just a purely creative outlet for someone, do your thing. If it's a place to vent your frustrations with the world, rock on. If it's your spot just to goof off, goof off then, player. As long as the rules are followed, and I leave that up to YouTube to decide, go for it.

1. It's fun
2. I absolutely love helping people
3. Hopefully I'll be able to make a good living off of it so I can keep doing 1 and 2

Live and let live
