Sudden Dramatic Increase in Subscribers...Confused

I think I have figured it out. Our Fan Finder is now live. It has been in a queue for so long that I forgot about it. This explains the sub growth without engagement or increased views.

At least it makes the most logical sense. Its not a bot. Trust me, I understand how bots work and the only way this could be a bot is if there is a security leak in YT as all the subs are genuine with the majority having several subs or videos with some reaching 100s of either.

It must be that Fan Finder. If it is I recommend you guys make one as our sub growth is now at 42% in two days. I will obviously keep an eye on this Fan Finder to clarify this is the cause of the growth and return here with my findings.

How can i know if the fan finder ad is up and running? xD

I like how so many people just jump to the conclusion that it's a bot. Bots cost money, and it's not like everyone and their mother has one. I guess when people come across something they don't understand, they blame it on something else they don't understand! Anyway, Fan Finder would certainly explain everything you're describing, but I guess it will be a few days before the analytics come in to be sure. Another possibility (even though it's almost definitely fan finder) would be it was embedded on a popular site or something.

I think its just society in general. If something doesn't make sense then it must be something evil lol ;).

I do think its the fan finder. I have searched Google and have not found anything relating to embedded videos which is popular and new.[DOUBLEPOST=1402242371,1402242269][/DOUBLEPOST]

Its under your settings under community then fan finder. It shows the video you have selected with messages such as 'in a queue' or 'live'. It took a month for ours I think.
 
My fan finder ad doesnt have message. Last time it says something like will be reviewed shortly. Now its just the video and below it was Remove Ad Button
 
I am on the same boat, i gain 1-5 subscriber per day, i receive a email almost for every subscriber and i see nicknames that reminiscent a bot or someone from middle continent (hahaha) but they don't reflect on my views.
 
That's so weird! I'd say something similar happened but on a MUCH smaller scale - so we think it was Fan Finder? Do you put all your vids on it or just the most popular?

Fan Finder to my knowledge acts like a normal Ad on Gaming videos, if the user clicks it, it either auto subs them and opens are channel or just opens our channel for them to browse. The video itself is custom made and is only our Intro with a small commentation, not a collection of videos.
 
I have no idea why, but when I was in another country for summer(China), My subscribers suddenly increased from about 20 or so to 180. Since i really love youtube and I dont want my account EVER banned, i'm kind of worried about this. It might be that my friend YinTaiYang is advertising me since he quit, and he's at about 700 subs, but I just really want to make sure, just in case, that someone isn't in any way botting me or getting me subscribers illegally... I wanted a hundred legit so I could post the most sincere thank you video, but now I cant, because of this.

I don't see how fan finder is going to take you from less than 2 subs a day average to 200+ daily with roughly the same amount of views and no increased interaction. Not trying to think evil here, just being realistic. Once you find out the source though, let us all know.
