Worst YT advice you've received?

[TopSecretR35]

Watsup guys, I've heard some excellent information and advice from this website, but now out of curiosity, I'd like to know what's the silliest advice you've heard?

My two favourites are when successful youtubers give a infant channel advice such as "Reply to all comments" I'm lucky when I get two comments, obviously I'm going to reply :/ Lmao.

And another example: "Don't accept sponsorship if you don't believe in the product. This would be useful if I was ever offered a sponsor lol!

My worst advice was sub 4 sub with everyone. Well I think it's bad because don't matter if other will sub you if they will not watch your videos.

Yeah, that's bad advice! Inflated Sub numbers are more detrimental than little subs. Learning curve!

Agreed. Sub4Sub makes me cringe

I hear this one a lot, even in business which frustrates me, "Just keep working hard, don't quit and eventually you'll make it." Hard work and dedication without direction and strategy will not guarantee success

Congrats on making 6,000 subs! How do you make it look like that with the subscribe button and the facebook links.

Thanks, but I'm only at 5931. I'll hopefully hit 6k by midnight or early tmrw. You need some YT cash that you earn by commenting and then click on the "shop" button at the top

Lol , I'm only at 877 and I keep loosing subs day by day. It's frustrating the stress that goes on behind this because there's so much competition going on. But anyways you're doing a hell lot better than me [DOUBLEPOST=1481633848,1481633466][/DOUBLEPOST]

Yup, that was really hot advice a couple of years ago, and it's toxic.
