  • Although it probably wont happen, nova should make a series with GhostRobo

  • You talked about not stealing subs in the trimountain but here that's what this is

  • @deadsearolls I don't even know what you're trying to say.

  • Nova i was listening to Creature Talk episode 1 and in it you said "Oh yeah im predicted to hit 100k subs in 8 months (the creature talk was recorded in january) and instead of 100k you hit almost 250k, good job james, good job

  • after watching all 3 videos my respect for you nova just went from 100% to 2ml%

  • hey nova, i just like to say that u are a very respectful person. i totally respect you. you are funny and smart and all that good stuff. i hope i grow up to be a person like u..great job. this video inspired me alot in many ways. thank you :)

  • @messwithfuntion Really? Really son? Stop sucking up to him.

  • Nova, you gave Robo a verbal beat down! Beat that ass!

  • @ZER0speaks like The Rock used to do back in the day of WWE/WWF.

  • @salmansufiwwe Do you smelllllllllll what chef NOVARAMzies is cooken!

  • Do a series with ghost robo?

  • love you

  • Jeeez nova you pooped in that guys eye lids in that argument. I'll support your content no matter what I come here because you make me laugh my ass off so thank you:)

  • damn part 3 was awesome you just pwned him :P

  • Nova, it would be so awesome if you played 'happy wheels'. Just see Sly play it, it's so funny.

  • YA SMALL COMMUNITY FTW!!!

  • i honestly don't care about this im in this just to see your vids and have fun

  • Love your videos Nova but i totally agree with killerofall21 as i am subscribed to Ghostrobo as well as you and love both of your uploads,and i dont just love Ghostrobos because of the giveaways.I personally feel he does that to show some love to his followers and not just to become rich and famous you could say.

  • Nova, you are an inspiration to us all, especially to all the smaller youtube channels. I hope to start making videos soon, and when I do, I'm not taking any short cuts. You're a good man, man.

  • @TheStonedKiitty As much as I would want to agree with you... I believe Athene is better ;x

  • Nova i repected your opinions but that vid has created trolls against ghostrobo so you need to tell people to not just troll on him

  • @killerofall21 i did in this video lol

  • @UberHaxorNova Hey Nova if in the future you ever feel inclined to do a giveaway to reward subscribers, I think you could do it to meet your ethical requirements. The prize wouldn't have to be a game you'd buy or an xbox or something, I'm sure your subscribers would much more prefer an opportunity to skype/game with you in a co-op playthrough or something :) Plus to avoid putting GIVEAWAY in the title, you could just mention it in a random video without drawing attentiont it, right?

  • @killerofall21 Blah Blah Blah

  • Just listened through this and my reasons why you, Nova, are my favorite youtuber/commentator out there strengthened. @Jacovy51197 said it good: You are a role model for small (gaming) youtubers. Keep it up, don't give up your principles and yippikayei.

    Ps. You totally owned that 'debate'... in a gentleman's fashion

  • But Nova you are blue in the face

  • i just watched the 2nd one :D

  • I have to say, I watched the whole debate last night, and you completely dominated the arguement for me, he had stupid, unreasonable arguements (e.g: Ghostrobo:'why do you play with ssohpkc?' Nova: Because he's my friend!') and i love the way you stuck up for all the small guys in the gaming community. You are a great role model for every small gaming youtuber out there.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be a biased douche, i think Ghostboro is alright, he was just in the wrong for me.

  • Tony and Nova own

  • Nova, ive been a subscriber when you had 10 videos, and ive almost pissed my pants on every video, keep it up :)

  • Runescape >

    What?

  • @kuto17 no

  • Lmao, u won that argument for sure.

  • you know what? I'm on your side on this. and it's not because I'm a sub to you. Giveaways are cheap bottom line. There is NO time where they are accepted.

  • I voted to put nova to the triple threat

  • I looked at ghostrobo's channel and the first 2 videos which said giveaway had 60k then 38k. and usual videos he gets 17k or a bit more. "i dont see the problem with giveaways" ya well i do. and the proof is right here. Also if he needs to help his parents he should just give the money upfront instead of wasting more of it, and i show no pity or sympathy for his life issues. Nova won the debate hands down.

  • Comment removed

  • Lol just watched the debate. Nova u totally destroyed him, and I laughed so hard when he kinda said you were shitting on little channels coz u make vids with Seamus. But u were so calm through the whole debate and he was stuttering all over the place. Good job nova u owned him.

  • You should do politics Nova.

  • @ItsTheNabica dude he hosted about 30 odd giveaways raking in 2 mil views minimum each video he made a shitload of money doing that and he never said who won anything and i never heard anyone say they won anything so I.E scammed

  • NOVA BROKE THE RULES BY MAKING VIDEOS WITH SSOHPKC

  • Whats this background sound.?

  • Holy shit you destroyed the poor kid lol

  • @Nordlys *cough* gayboy7thst *smoker cough*

  • @thefallencog fuck you

  • I really dont care about other bulshit crap like giveaways i'll stick with just watching commentary from u ;) And supporting.

  • Just want to mention that I totally agree with you Nova. Hustling YouTube users in any way—not just with giveaways—for a better spot on the top lists is bad advertising. Just asking for likes without withholding a reward is fine.

    Giveaways and other forms of advertisement are okay if they don't require people to subscribe, like and favourite in return. Holding sweepstakes on a separate forum for instance. The core issue is that they are gaming YouTube for more publicity in a malicious manner.

  • @UberHaxorNova when u were playing Underhell and u saw those legs i meant to click off the vid but by accident i unsubbed DONT WORRY I SUBBED AGAIN

  • I found that Ghostrobo a while ago... i didnt like the cut of his jib. Not for me, Sir. Not for me.

  • @WrathzRevenge Yeah Ghostrobo is kind of annoying.

  • @mocajenga lol the first time i watched his vid was his witcher 2 walkthrough, fell asleep in 3 mins after starting the vid.

  • i think if some one is going to do a give away it shouldnt be in the tittle or ask for comments so its a suprise for your viewers since the point in a give away is to give something back to your loyal viewers

  • It apears that that robo guy, wasnt really aware of the impact from giveaway's for other youtubers.

  • I love you nova (no homo) you are a cool guy, good gamer and an excellent commentator and you are even smarter than the most of the guys from the gaming community.

  • @simpluadicanimic we are all secretly homo with james

  • @gtafan110010 rofl

  • what do you think about Athenes "together to the top"? please tell me your opinion :)

  • Damn, you sound really smart in that video o_O

  • I dont get it. Where can I get my giveaway :/

  • @HeyLetzPlay What are you talking about? What giveaway?

  • This debate sound like politics... a whole BUNCH of POLITICAL stuff... oh well, everybody has their own point of view, own agenda, and own believes. Jz hate the fact that life have to be all bout money, in a big scale that is =[

  • Damn nova you're such a good guy <3

  • Nova ftw

  • Sorry for posting this on this vid, but are you gonna buy the new dead rising that is coming out and do a playthrough with spoon?

  • Nova's giveaways are his vids, now thats a reward!

  • @UnregisteredArtist true dat

  • I've read a comment from the videos, and it makes sense. I think James is 100 % right. Having giveaways is like buying subs and other channels that can't afford to do so are left in the dust. But if you want to reward your subs, don't even mention the giveaway in the title or anyway to see it externally. Then your currant subs would be notified about it with out luring in new Youtubers for the wrong reason. Keep up the amazing work Nova, Great debate.

  • I had a small panic attack when I saw the word giveaways, I thought you were selling your soul. :P

  • Nova I love you (no homo?) your just as loyal to us your subscirbers as we are to you and you stuck to your guns in that debate which only makes me gain even more respect for you and you think he would have researched the creatures before bringing spoon up

  • So now Nova is known for Epic Commentary and Uber awesome rage videos.

  • Nova beat that ass :3 I actually agree with u nova theres no accomplishment in give aways and i personally don't like Robo i just don't find him entertaining im sure he could do fine without the give aways its sad that he even does it because im positive his subscribers are based on give aways and that's sad ive watched some of his videos and he also looks like hes just pitying people with his mom and what happen

  • That was the most intense 3videos ive watched in a while... lol

  • @Tearlesscoconul Yea I know lol

  • Yeah Nova. Why DO you make video with Seamus, lol. I just love how he couldn't comprehend the thought of two friends playing a game together to have fun and to entertain people.

  • @Jrski710 no idea, that ssoh guy is a JERK

  • Comment removed

  • @Cydro12 hes only joking,

  • @chenkoman07 could've known. thanks for the heads up though!

  • @UberHaxorNova dont troll onseamus wait are you joking?

  • @UberHaxorNova But the sign DID say stop

  • @UberHaxorNova

    beat that ass nova xD :P

  • @UberHaxorNova You probably should have mentioned that deal you have with seamus where you take turns recording playthroughs :P

  • @TinnedWaffles yeah but that's a collaboration and people who watch videos with both of them are watching for content, not for a chance to win something.

  • @kwchanchanman Huh? I know lol? Ghost thought Nova just did playthroughs with Seamus because Seamus was super popular and Nova would get noticed through Seamus, except Seamus doesn't record half of them :P

  • @UberHaxorNova All of his "Unbelievable" and Batman references.

  • @Jrski710 What's this about? Nova and Seamus haven't fallen out have they? :'(

  • @0121D0ONE No, not at all. In Part 3 Robo, for whatever reason, was saying "Why do you make Videos with Seamus!?" acting like Nova is only making videos with him for money even though they are very good friends.

  • @Jrski710 Oh thank god and that's great. Guess that Robo guy felt like a dick! ;)

  • nova i totally agree with you how people shouldn't really do giveaways because others don't have the extra edge i am also trying to get up there on YouTube with only my content but i do have a question lets say there is no word about give away written anywhere they just randomly say somewhere in the video for 10 sec. about a giveaway that they will do and not necessarily in the first video or all the time do you think they should keep doing that because people would be there for content.

  • This issue is a very big one and i do see that its a good thing to do a giveaway to give back to your subscribers but to ask for likes, favourites and comments to take part in the giveaway is just cheating the system and this is why i love nova's vids so much because he doesnt do that shit. He put in the hard work and dedication to get to where he is now LEGIT and his reward to us subscribers is giving us amazing content which we love a lot more than peoples who do giveaways

  • I am worried about the fallout of this conflict and I have been thinking about this for awhile. I am suscribed to both these people and am neutral to this debate. But I hope u people don't do no stupid shit because his family is in debt. His mom has problems and been to the hospital several times. So if u don't like just don't do no stupid stuff because robo needs this

  • YOUKICKED HIS ASS NOVA :3 jk i enjoyed the chat

  • I totally agree with you, Nova on the give away issue. If you want to give back to your active fans, just try to make good content. That' being said, I'm not really with you on the tags thing. And I'm just saying this as like just a friend giving you shit, but your tags are ridiculous man. lol I mean call of duty mentioned 4 times in a minecraft video, really?

  • wow great vid. loved the entire debate. i came here because of nova and have been subbed to nova for a while now, yet ghost put up an argument i can respect. overall though i think nova had the more valid point. as a solution ghost should stop giveaways for a while, maybe make a fake vid or not about him being done with giveaways, and then see if any or how many people unsub to him or how greatly his views and favorites decrease. giveaways should be there as thank you not as a promotion.

  • I still don't understand why robo said Y U DO VIDS WITH SSOHPKC...

  • who the fuck is ghostrobo?

  • i don't quite understand how "likes" and "favs" work? more likes would get your videos more...visible in the search???

  • dude i like it when you dont give away stuff your good when your you :) stay true nova !! :D

  • @prodigyx808 I still think doing giveaways or not good. Maybe if the giveaway was purely to give back to the subscribers an what not, even then ppl will sub and never whatch your other vids. I just don't like giveaways. I like what CH4ZT3CH said on top comments.

  • robo was just pulling shit out his ass like SCORPIOR194 said. Nova had the actual argument and robo is just trying to get sympathy, and trying to make nova look bad.

  • Fuck ghost ... GO NOVA WE LOVE U!!!!!!!

  • I SUPPORT NOVA!

  • Nova you dont have to give us shit and you know that, we love you for you. The robo dude is a dumb ass and if he wants to have his channel grow like that, then so be it, but you're doing everything perfectly!!!! WE GOT YOUR BACK MAN

  • Love you bro! Keep making you videos. I always like after I see the video, and judge whether I truly like them, and 90% of the time I like it. Nice to see someone intelligent enough to stand up to the foolishness of YouTube. Again, keep them comin'.

  • I sat and listened to each video and you made some valid points. It sucks to know smaller channels who actually put a lot of hard work into their videos are overshadowed by the giveaway channels. The sad thing is it probably won't stop because simply there's ALWAYS going to be those people who try to take shortcuts or abuse some exploits to get ahead or look better or what have you...Sadly it's the way life is nowadays. More people need to get up and speak out more often about it...

  • @JayKGable2 well said and 100% agree it makes small channels like mine think ill never get to where i want to be but i still try hard to get there cuz i hope and people like nova inspire me to keep at it

  • Nova is my inspiration <3

  • But i also liked what else they put up thats what kept me subbed to them

  • But i also liked what else they put up thats what kept me subbed to them

  • I don't think people should do giveaways they should do like have a special at like 500 1k 10k 50k 100k and so on but not make it a vid just do it randomly so its not a vid that can get liked fav or subbed its just something to meet your subs and talk too them about gaming life or content of what they want to see on the channel or talk about what they don't like or want more of like I loved Minecraft that's what got me subbed to Nova and the other creatures and Jx23

  • I don't think people should do giveaways they should do like have a special at like 500 1k 10k 50k 100k and so on but not make it a vid just do it randomly so its not a vid that can get liked fav or subbed its just something to meet your subs and talk too them about gaming life or content of what they want to see on the channel or talk about what they don't like or want more of like I loved Minecraft that's what got me subbed to Nova and the other creatures and JX23

  • Regardless of the position of who I like, no matter what you can't justify Giveaways being good. A point brought up multiple times from Robo is that "Oh check my content and see why my subs like my videos", though the other little guy with 200 subscribers could have just as good or better content, and won't ever become popular due to Robo taking the views with a Giveaway while the other guy didn't. That was a key point I didn't see Nova bring up throughout the video. Regardless, Nova owned.

  • I Dont get people doing giveaways, loads of people like, comment and fave just for a small tiny chance they might win something. People could easily just get jealous of the fact they didnt win and troll the vids and false flag it down, doesnt seem worth it for a favourite and/or a sub :/

  • I completley agree with you on your points in your speech. People shouldn't be doing giveaways because its basically shitting on the smaller channels and preventing them from growing.

  • Nova, the thing is your true fans of yours watch your videos because... Well they are amazing. Giveaways in my opinion are a channels way of trying to get more sub's or favorites or whatever. I like you because all of your sub's are legit, we watch for content not for dumb bundle giveaways and stuff. But really my point is I don't care whether channels have 10 sub's or 100k sub's and I'm sure there are some others like me but in my opinion you don't need giveaways because my favorite prize is a

  • Love you Nova you dah best

  • I subscribed because I had to win, his video's are all right. not the best I think

  • @popguck Wow, you subscribe just for a stupid giveaway, that's sad,

  • @ONLYUSEmeVAG I unsubbed :P

  • I think doing giveaways on YouTube is an exploit and It should be fixed IMO

  • @HibidyHooBlah2010 Giveaways are only bad when the people who are giving something away the things are asking for favorites. I mean look at Rwj, he hasn't given anything away at all and look how far he got.

  • quick question, are you part of the together to the top thing that athene started?

  • The point I think Nova was trying to get across is the point that Robo refused to acknowledge: The victims. If you're knocking guys with legitimately good content off of the top favourited/liked spot just because you're giving away free shit, it's wrong. They're hurting for views either because they can't afford to buy an extra copy or two of a game OR because they decided they wanted to grow their channel based on the quality of their content. Either way, it's not fair.

  • UP  IN DIS

  • What happened to you trying to avoid all this "drama" in the gaming community? Going on Triple Threat just seem to me like your just creating more drama.

  • @Darthmoro they asked for my view on it, and i got the chance to talk to them directly. Its not like i was bashing anyone in a video, or on twitter or anything. I went in to talk up front about it.

  • what i hate is that there is a person with 200 loyal subs lets say he does a giveaway for them and some greedy dirtback just in it for the prize wins it and never looks back at the channel it us bull shit

  • Nova just got 240,000 subs, a few minutes ago.....

  • Honestly everyone has their own opinions, and Robo's is to do give away's that make his audience happy, and your's is by not asking for anything in return. So it just depends on where you stand on this debate, and what to do about it, cuz honestly if you win the argument do you think he is going to stop the giveaways?

  • Well I just got done with watching the vids and I gotta say nova u started out a little behind in the argument but u kept on backing Ur info with lots of examples and had a really good argument at the end. Love ir vids nova and I seriously can't wait for more mega tree house vids. THEY R AWSOME.

  • Also, one more thing to bring up... if people really want to just use giveaways as a way to reward their loyal viewers, they would put the info for the giveaway at the end of one of their videos, and NOT mention it in the title or tags. That way, only the people who watch would have a chance to win.

    And then have people enter through a third party website, like FreddieW did with his latest "fly out and hang with us" contest. His giveaways have always been the best, I think.

  • @UberHaxorNova I think I might make song out of your Beat Dat Ass saying :)

  • Totally respect what you said about the giveaways and how it took you all that time to get where ur at, without the means of giveaways i respect how it needs to be fair for everyone trying to work there way up. But I also agreed on how ghost said things might change and that's the fact times change and not always for the better, but what's important is that you stay with ur ways and continue to do what you do because it's what you like

  • Moar deus sex

  • Woah UberHaxorNova is in this vid, srsly brah :)

  • @TeemingTubbyEmu uh yeah hes in this vid its his channel..?

  • Well I think the bigger youtuber that aren't doing gaming like sxephil that do the giveaways, they go there for the content not the giveaways. I personally skip the part of the video with the giveaways.

  • I support you Nova. I feel the same way about certain people too.

  • Tota

  • ESSAY TIME

  • Comment removed

  • you beat that ass

  • i know you prob wont do this but james can you say happy birthday to me it actually is please :)

  • I don't think Robo is giving away games just to get more subs, likes, and faves, although that is a byproduct. It seems that he is just trying to reward the people who are subscribed to him, and thanking them for their subs. I understand there are some people who can't do that, but he isn't trying to step on them. If a smaller channel is good, they can grow regardless, just by word of mouth. And besides, SSoH used to give away stuff. He hasn't in a while, but it was just as a reward too.

  • @neoepochx I would agree if he wasnt asking for anything in return. You dont ask for something back in return of a gift.

  • @UberHaxorNova Yea, that is true. I mean, if you are giving stuff out just to reward your fans, that is cool. But asking for benefits is a bit dastardly and kinda messed up, you should just expect that your fans will support you anyway.

  • @UberHaxorNova I do.

  • @UberHaxorNova Well said.

  • @UberHaxorNova i agree

  • @UberHaxorNova That's because it's called a bribe ....

  • @UberHaxorNova This is one of the greatest youtube quotes I've ever seen, honestly this makes the most sense about why giveaways are dumb and a cheap way for subscribers. Props for being a great, legit youtuber Nova. Props.

  • Nova, I've thought a lot about this, and I've come to the conclusion that I agree w/ you 100%. Giveaways are a good way for people to give back to their subs if they can afford it, and as long as they don't exploit the fact that it's a giveaway, it's perfectly fine. As someone who's trying to figure out how to start up videos but is having to save up $ in order to buy equipment to make good content, it sucks that the ppl w/ money to spare rely on THAT to draw ppl in rather than content quality.

  • nova I actually stayed and watched the whole thing, I usually skip but your points where so interesting.Also I have a question if you subs (including me :D )where he just for give aways if you did what advice would you give to channels on how to progressifly stop the giveaway without major sub loss.

  • NOVA IMA WATCH THIS IN 720P JUST LETTING U KNOW

  • I watched all three of them n I agree wit u 2 many ppl gets subs 4 giveaways I used 2 have a channel but I stop because ppl will have 1 vid on the channel which would be a give away n my usual 5k views turned into 1k then 500 then bout 200 ppl left which wer my loyal subs n they always liked without annotations but I got tired of losin them so I stoped I hope 2 start again sometime

  • Nova always speaks the truth.

  • MLG can't wait to listen. :)

  • More respect for you Nova ;)

    And stop responding to that LordTunnel guy, he obviously doesn't get the point you're making.

  • damn nova look at you on your high debate horse

  • I stick Vicks up my butt...
