YouTube, Help Us Small Channels

Also there are just so many channels out there alot of them being smaller channels to help every single one of them would be impossible not only that alot of small channels can be slightly sketchy and not as professinal as the bigger ones,lower quallity,copyright issues,inactivaty,lack of scedule these things mean alot of us (not all of us) arent up to par and the sheer number means finding the ones with a chance to grow difficult besides if you are going to make it you will focus on making good content first and promotion second.
 
Just to point out, the YouTube official Twitter (not YTCreators) just posted a video from a creator with 156 subs.

It's not impossible to be noticed by senpai if you have good content.

I don't want it. But you're wrong to quantify peoples' talents by their subscriber numbers.

Calling people wannabes or real deals based on whether they "made it" or not is ridiculous.

HAHAHAHAHA! You obviously don't know me. And you got it anyway. Deal with it.

To clarify, since you don't get where I was going with it; I am speaking from YouTube's perspective. They will give exactly zero about small channels. They got a business to run and money to make, those servers don't run themselves. When someone grows big they will promote the crap out of them, when they don't they won't lift a finger to help them out. How about ignoring what YouTube is doing for others and focus that energy on yourself? In the eyes of the YouTube we are all wannabees until we're not. And really, I can't be bothered by it. I am having fun, and that's all that counts.

It's also not impossible to win the Powerball. But to expect any kind of real promotion via YT's official outlets is... well, refer back to the lottery example.
 
As much as I want to agree with you, DutchTexan is right... Youtube is a business and the only way for a business to strive is to give people what they want. Also if they promoted us smaller channels it would become too easy to become a huge hit, which means everyone would do it. Yes the way they run Youtube is harsh on us smaller folk but in a way its the challenge of getting to the top, much like a job in a big company, you work your way up. But in the same respects one of my videos on my old channel made it to the second page of results when you searched for it, amongst all the big boys and girls of Youtube, so it's also how you promote and tag your videos that matter (for the record that channel had 56 subs and the video had 270+ views). Making videos that everyone has done will mean you are further down the chain of results, if you do something that not many people have done then more people will see it. If youtube changed the way they filtered the featured videos then too much 'rubbish' would get through. Everyone knows you can make a killing from youtube if you hit big, but if hitting big was so much easier everyone would do it, people would make content for money not for fun, and Youtube would be paying out to every Tom, d**k and Harry that managed just one successful video. So no, as much as it makes it harder, Youtube's system works and is fair, the big youtubers have worked to get to where they are so they deserve to be on the front pages.

There is this tool called Fan Finder which is available even for small channels and suppose to help you get your subscribers. But it seems that it works great for bigger youtubers and does almost nothing for the smallest :/

You have to have a minimum of 1000 subscribers to use fan finder :(

Read this, and understand this: YouTube is a business, and businesses are there to make money. Why spend your resources on a wannabe when you can spend them on the actual real deal? The labor cost is the same, but the gains are widely apart. (Hell, I think YouTube would probably loose money trying to promote the likes of you and I).

So no. Just no.

I disagree because if you were to add up all the small youtube channels then from a marketing point of view you have a huge body of viewers to advertise towards. Plus smaller channels would have adverts much cheaper. But in some cases they might lose out, overall I think it would benefit youtube.
