The Biggest Shake-Up in YouTube History: Explained

[Americanbadashh]

You should check your comments more often

[SkinnyBunni]

hankgirl lol.

[ringdingading]

1689 new comments :D

[RawrStickers]

LOL how you said Skrillex is funny

[lumensapace]

I now know how unlikely it is that the vlogbrothers will read messages sent to them. I figured they get a lot of messages but over 7k? Giving up on my dreams of talking to them now.

[HolmeDawg]

Yo Dawg, I heard you like YouTube...

[timbalion]

this is appalling from YouTube.

[rback057]

"what is an unoffensive thing that I like? So they subscribed to LMFAO." Really? LMFAO is unoffensive?

[fuzzheadwriter]

thanks to the same gray being used in the video pages as in the main page, there is... NO EDGE!

[consolodavid]

Love your email. hankgirl16@gmail.com



[miekka968]

Your voice is actually really soothing.

[EmilyEmilyIris]

To watch my screen log into the vlogbrothers channel is a strange and wonderful thing.

[JesikaScott]

hankgirl16? nice email! :|

[TheRxm19]

How do you get Vid stats

[TheRxm19]

How do u get that stats thing ?

[ImCalledDavid]

I understand that Youtube were only trying to help newbies, but this just benefits the big YouTubers. I mean people like me who have less than 500 subscribers have no chance of any recognition... I think they should implement a smaller YouTuber section, like similar people to big YouTubers...

[urbstephanie]

I wonder if this conclusion lead to the cable video..

[iLegoPerson]

Yay, we're subscribed to the same channels :P

[AppicNick1221]

OMG THEY WATCH CHUGGAACONROY

[prinncesninjagoddess]

"And that I'm a sixteen year old girl," Says the over 30 man.

[FakeName071]

I am Dave! Yognought

[Pivaxi]

You're subscribed to Twisted Tim :(

[Jormazzz]

I guess im not mainstream, because i didnt subscribe to anything just because its "recommended" :o

[pigscanfly522]

Post videos on that channel.

[littleT462]

You're subscribed to chuggaaconroy? YES.

[dolphin64575]

Why weren't you subscribed to PineappleBoyFilms? The only excuse people should have for not being subscribed to PineappleBoy, Wheezy, and Vlogbrothers is not knowing they existed.

[LotusPhoenix93]

Welcome to the internet, where men are men, women are men, and 16 year old girls are 30 some year old men. :D

[ThingsAtPlaces]

Gwatsky!

[danifloresaqui]

Is it just here or youutube got back to its old design?

[selinesbeau]

Corner Gas!!!!!



[LifeLostSoul]

I would watch hank green watches you tube videos :)

[thejerrymobile]

People seem to be a little distressed that the "friend" feature is no longer accessible.

I never really saw the value in it in the first place... I'd recommend subscribing :P

[SoundProofLiz]

I don't like that you can't "X" a video out of your sub box anymore :(

[solusnoir]

hank's voice is hypnotizing. Moar screencast!

[xxxGOLDENGALxxx]

charlieissocoollike and nerimon are tacked :) woo go charlie and alex xD

[aziangr1]

i'm very picky about my subscribe list so when i got to that stage i didn't add anyone. i think it was the last step anyways.

[MedievalPancake]

what program do you use to record your screen?? idk how to call it but i'd like to know because it seems really usefull to be able to use!

[alwaystextback]

Thanks for still being subscribed to me! LOL!

[JaylaCucu]

And knowing is half the battle. :)

[nenalyzed]

you didn't have to subscribe though.. I just clicked the tutorial away.

[jeremyshaw]

HA BISKY vlog yet again, Hank! Very interesting to see the results. "Liked" and favourited!

[CiphersSon]

despite what some may say having only a nine charters password is really not that great an idea.... More over if one would want to mount and attack against a person, knowing that it is nine is of great help. So the double auth suggestion in red above all the vids asking for a phone number i would think is a good idea on such a popular chan.... just saying ;-)

[MultiBear100]

AEAMUSPKC COMMENTED SUP OMG

[martnik]

that was a tip, not a threat by the way. sorry for being creepy.

[martnik]

hank and john, you should get a longer password or you're gonna get hacked!

[delameu]

fuck google

[tahanan122]

seamus wut

[redmanda69]

...and all of these people have bumps, but not bumps of the same size... :-p

[zelbarnap]

Thanks for showing and explaining this!

[windowsforvista]

Damn, you're pretty smart

[GallifreyanGirl40]

I got so excited when he said "Hello and welcome to hank watches youtube videos."

[babybott330]

One more comment, I also unsubscribed quite a few because I don't really watch them and I can't just delete the videos off my feed anymore. So I trimmed down to under 100 subscriptions.

[babybott330]

I subscribed to one, and it was Hankgames.Then I said, "Okay, done with this." No kidding.

[sillentskills]

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY TIMES I'VE UNSUBSCRIBED FROM SSOHPKC WHEN I WAS TRYING TO OPEN THE 6,900+ VIDEOS BUTTON?

Oh. Caps lock's fixed.

[piecesofkate]

POPS!

[jangadanceuk]

Noticed CCP games in your suggestions, either of you guys play EVE online?

[firnantok]

It's so nice to see Lidewij and Sanne in this video. :)

[Lidespam]

@firnantok WHO?!

[firnantok]

@Lidespam YOU!

[AwkwardMistresses]

I like how his email is "hankgirl16@gmail.com" HAHAHA(:

[ultraNewt]

you are not subscribed to toby games and toby turner because you don't want constant videos to watch

[ManjotKaur97]

BooksandQuills is lovely. GO SUBSCRIBE TO HER, YO.

and this was extremely interesting. and the adele thing, just. wow.

[Lidespam]

@ManjotKaur97 :D

[ManjotKaur97]

@Lidespam Lidewij! I love your videos, too!

[Lidespam]

@ManjotKaur97 :D <3

[ManjotKaur97]

@Lidespam How are you? I think the last video I saw from you was you unboxing your new fridge...

[Lidespam]

@ManjotKaur97 I'm good. busy. So is my fridge. :D.

[ManjotKaur97]

@Lidespam That's awesome! I'm doing well, too. Getting ready for exams, though. ):

[Lidespam]

@ManjotKaur97 What kind of exams? :)

[ManjotKaur97]

@Lidespam I have a bunch of mid-terms coming up. I'm taking my French 1, World History, Geometry, Earth Science and English exams this year. They're long and boring and I suck at History.

[ClocksInMyPlace]

@someone332 Thanks for clearing that up!

[Cassiestarglimmer]

Good to know. Now I'm going to go watch Stock Adviser again.

[TheKingOPower]

Indickative!

Ah, i'm so childish...

[nerdgirl1269]

Great video, Hank, really interesting!

[gspeed0]

ummm aren't there cops who stop people posing as young girls?

[196hasnain]

@gspeed0 lol



[DarkJose22]

SSoH brought me here TEAM SILVERBACK!!!!!

[thepatrickowen]

SUBSCRIBE TO ALL OF THE THINGS!

[slenderface]

@SSoHPKC 4:58 DAT ASS

[Mortenvemmelund]

But why did they have to take down the remove video feature <.< lost all overview over which video I have watched ...

[MrKellii]

"So I made a fake little girls youtube account" ... Hi sit down I'm chris hansen

[booknerd12345511]

I think the reaso some people lost subscriptions is because we youtube changed i randomly unsubscribed from people (oohcullen, elmify, vlogbrothers) and from ur suprise that u werent subscribed to to tobuscus i think u lost some to anyone else lose subscriptions?

[BAMitsLOR]

I actually went through all my subs and unsubcribed to people I don't watch that much. Simply because the new layout means you only want the videos you're always interested in, as they get pushed down so much. :') Obviously I'm still sub'd to the Vlogbrothers though <3

[xHiddenDreamer]

You and john and being teenage girls.

[stereosrocks]

hankgirl16@gmail (dot) com? o.o

[perkie2121]

@hankschannel Hank...you NEED to start doing more screen casts like this. An unedited screencast of you reading technews with commentary of course would be one of my favorite shows.

[CharmedSlayerr]

How is LMFAO unoffensive? haha

[Mikazha]

I was waiting for Hank to start watching videos.. Youtubeception!

[SimaoImexx10]

@SSoHPKC <3

[mushacles]

Hey hank, cheers for these videos. They are really useful. I work for a university in Ireland and we have a youtube channel (that we aren't using to its full potential) so it's really good to get first hand advice and so forth from experienced Youtube users like yourself. Thanks again.

[kestin46]

SSoH

[PetitCarmen]

Oh my gosh, just when you said that there was a cop car outside I heard a siren outside of my house...

[Patterrz]

Ahahaha, Seamus was there :D

[FamilySimFemale]

Hank, I love the way you say Rihanna...

[Elaina43]

Hank Holmes!

[ezland100]

Sooooo, If it wasn't replied to in the last 24 hr. It becomes old news and not worth watching? I COULD HAVE TOUGHT YOU HOW TO SHAVE THAT BEAST! Your loss, still love you guys DFTBA!

[rubysunshine91]

i think alot of people lose subscribers if they dont follow a schedule. And alot of people think meekakitty is changing as well

[disabledOtter]

thumbs up for these scream casts I think it's cool to see how big channels like vlogbrothers work and would like to see more.

[Monobueno18]

I didn't subscribe to three people when it told me to.

[Jaredsellick]

Well II guess that explains why I lost two subscribers yesterday.

[simonxslade]

Not all people are blessed with the same size bumps.

[pineappleboyfilms]

OH MY GOD!!!! Hank just said pineappleboyfilms. Vlogbrothers just subscribed to me ON A HANKSCHANNEL vlog!

[extremefrisbee]

@pineappleboyfilms Of course he did. PoPS FTW!

[StevenLovesSophie]

@pineappleboyfilms You should see if you got more subscribers now.

[martnik]

@pineappleboyfilms you deserve it. Maybe you should also change your logo so that it says "Platoon of power squadron" instead of a picture of your face. The logos seem to have enough pixels now to have room for a bunch of text.

[thefamouskaytay]

@pineappleboyfilms you definitely deserve jake

[Niekpas1]

@pineappleboyfilms

Congratulations!

[jemmyjams]

I think the weirdest/most annoying thing is the loss of the light message icon to show if you have any new email thingys..

[MsDestinyDiamond]

Excellent explaining, I know what's going on now. It also made me feel very warm inside when I saw you subscribed to chuggaaconroy... :3

- DFTBA

[DreamerOfNight]

*thewinekone

[gnusi321]

I have also unsubscribed to ppl because the subscribe button changed position so when i wanted to click the more videos button i hit unsubscribe.. that might be common dno..

[yashjv]

I'm glad I didn't unsubscribe from here. :3

[bajskorv1129]

uh, why was seamus in the vlog thing?

[christianwwe100]

@bajskorv1129 maybe his troll videos

[Carladolly]

And I'm like, dude, you're a c...........op.

[Lund48]

y if muzzafuzzagaming on the most sub losses?!?

[Kie77]

What an insightful video. Nice to see my mate Barry Aldridge in your subs list. Very well explained!

[lianneinthebigworld]

This is really interesting :) Also; seeing you navigate the new homepage makes it easier for me to figure everything out, thanks <3

[ShakespeareFrost]

That's actually what I did the other day. I unsubscribed to most of my subscriptions, I think I have a good dozen left. Because I realized that most of them didn't make videos anymore and of the ones that did, I only watched a handful of them.

[RandomerThanAverage]

This was very informative. Thank you. Funny thing... a couple of weeks ago I realized that I wasn't subscribed to Tobuscus and I said exactly the same thing. "Why am I not subscribed to Tony Turner? I love that guy."

[1w4nn4]

wow. i saw a tweet from JoeNation saying that his subscriber base dropped n i was like why? o.o but now i get it. hate it though that famous channels get subs when they don't even need to. -_- when will youtube start focusing on content creators again? when corporate channels get subs it kind of annoys me. youtube is supposed to be for people like sxephil n u guys n new talented singers n people like wongfuproductions n all these amazing content creators. i'm not gonna spare a sub on Rihanna -_-

[jopaulGlue]

team silverback !

[jimmykinkade]

my subscriber is still there.

[Atli1385]

why am i watching this?

[christianmatthe1]

i also unsubscribed cause you can't delete videos so it gets clumped if you have too many subsciption especially if its channels that post a lot of videos

[IXIFatTonyIXI]

Funny thing, you didn't HAVE to subscribe, it was the last step, you could just click out.

[AnotherPostcard]

@IXIFatTonyIXI That's just what I did too. I guess the big idea behind it was to get the more casual viewers more involved, but I don't need any more subscriptions at the moment.

[audreytalks]

I'm still frustrated that you can't delete videos from your sub box that you've already seen.

[SquiboTheHomey]

SSoHPKC brought me here, hello famous people...

[TheSchwartzcaster]

Great walk-through. Now we can take a breath and get back to doing what we do every day.:)

[OutOfThisWorldJB]

I always accidentely click the unsubscribe button on top of the videos because it changed place!

[spyteandmalice]

can you explain to me why raywilliamjohnson's channel was for a little while terminated the other day?

[elsiestarkey]

nice email

[airypersiflage]

this is very interesting, Hank. thanks for filling us in on what went down with the relaunch and what it means for the community.

[theyoungmrt]

3:32 An UNOFFENSIVE thing? Like Rihanna? I find Rihanna VERY offensive. I always find fake, cookie-cutter, manufactured pop music offensive.

[youbeat2008]

I lost 10 subs, I know, doesn't matter.

[nicciweasley]

Really interesting, this is!

[Twefrence]

This was genuinely really interesting.

I've been reading blog posts and tweets about how the new youtube layout has affected youtube subscriptions etc.

Now I know an even in depth reason, thank you =)

[valentin721]

tay brought me here

[Enemynarwhal]

Thewinekone!

[clankdud]

Chugga :)

[WinnieVista]

TAY ZONDAY! HE HAD COMMENTED TO THIS VIDEO!

[TayZonday]

This is a great explanation.

[divicool72]

@TayZonday :O It's you! Youre a youtube legend!

[WinnieVista]

@TayZonday Chocolate Rain! Some stay dry and others feel the pain!

[Arachi123]

@TayZonday .... Umm.... Hi Tay.... DEAR GOD O_O

[CptSpaceball]

@TayZonday I like the song Chocolate Rain

[riharc1]

@TayZonday hiiiii O_o

[RubenDelight]

I thought the loss of subscribers was because YouTube sent a message to inactive accounts and those who didn't respond got their accounts deleted. Or at least that's what I've been told.

[ItsNedDixon]

lol @ the comment count on the vlog bro channels, New comments: A gajillion

[We1mann]

I disagree that LMFAO is unoffensive. They offend my sense of taste to the highest degree :/

[AnthonysBlog]

@jaymanwilly It is believed you do not care about music and are just watching a woman. In which case, Youtube is not the website for you. I suggest looking for a porn site sir.

[ecksor88]

Why SSoHPKC in Vlog Stars?

[XxGrimEchoxX]

ChuggaConroy at 8:25

[Evanna11LilyLuna]

This is really interesting, thanks for explaining :).

[rethinkOURreality]

I'm glad that you tell us about these things. Most people wouldn't, and this is why we love you, Hank.

[Tolarus]

Ahh, you should have subscribed to CCPGAMES! You hovered for a second, teasing me with the possibility that you played Eve Online. If I found out that you or John played Eve, I'd be overjoyed.

[CrakenX]

"All of these people have bumps but not bumps of the same size" -giggle-

[rkfan100]

Also- I just looked that the new channel page layout. It is horrible. They took away everything.

[rkfan100]

Youtube is becoming more and more corporate. The number of subscribers and views are being looked at in the same way the number of viewers of TV shows are. I find this to be very bothersome. What originally attracted me to youtube was to see any normal person share their opinion, art, or anything else that they normally wouldn't be to give to a large audience. With corporations like Vevo and because of a large focus being put on a few paid youtubers, the 'You' in Youtube, no longer has meaning.

[jeaniebaby001]

omg you tagged thewinecone as one of your top subs i don't believe it.. x)

[hankschannel]

@jeaniebaby001 Tony is the man.

[crazybear09]

Hank, do you know how to delete the videos out of the subscription box. Cause all these videos are freaking my crazy OCD side out.

[CdudeGamer42]

@crazybear09 New YouTube doesn't allow it.

[jeaniebaby001]

haha went to Adele's page and STILL no picture!!! that person is sooo fired..... x)
