This thread was worth it for the puns. I do, however, believe I have something worthwhile to add to those who feel bummed about losing subs.
When you really think about it, you are alone when you do your videos (subject matter dependent). You are alone when you edit your videos. You are alone when you upload your videos. It is only when your video becomes watched that you are actually saying anything.
Whether you are speaking to just one person, or speaking to a mass of hundreds of thousands, it is still only your message being said. The quality and value of your message is not in how many people hear it, it is in how affected people are by what you have to say.
Go for 'affect'.
