hey i like ur videos.

[jiatv]

I guess I have a couple of things to say about this. I am one of those with 'several thousand subscribers' and people subbed to me b/c they either A. like what I had to say or B. wanted to see if I had any level of intelligence at all, considering my checkered past. When I say that I dont sub for sub, I mean it. There have been a couple of people that I RECENTLY unsubbed from b/c I knew I didnt watch their videos. If you cant hold my attention, its no point in me taking up a spot on your list

I just feel that there is a lot of childish stuff going on Youtube. Never before had I heard about people buggin' out about subscribers, friends, comments, views, etc until I got on Youtube. I never knew it was that serious. The bottom line is if you look at everybodys numbers, NOBODY matches. I have 7k subscribers but on a GOOD day I will get 4k views to that one video. That lets me know that at least 3k people are not giving a damn about viewing my video or what I have to say.

If a persons numbers match their subscribers, its PROBABLY b/c they have their latest video up as their "main" video on the face of their Youtube page. Some people subscribe for the sake of saying "Im subbed" to them. Another thing is this...this is probably the fifth video Ive seen in the course of one week where folks were talking about cliques. And Im sure that someone is going to "thumb down" this comment but why does anybody care? Who gives a shit if somebody is friends with somebody else?

[jiatv]

Is it ever that serious? I just want to know. I think that most of the time the people who complain about cliques and things are the ones that dont belong to the alleged cliques (no offense to you, nevergvup, just speaking in general). It sounds as though one is rather green when they worry about the dealings of other groups of people. Then to touch on Drama...I personally DONT like drama. I didnt sign up for YOutube to be involved in it, I dont look for it, I dont think its funny OR cute.

[jiatv]

I avoid drama like the plague b/c I dont like dealing with it in my personal life, so I damn sure wont log on to an internet service and look for it. Thats not me. I question folks who say that they love drama as well b/c it makes me wonder if theyd also like to start or instigate in drama as WELL as view/laugh at it. But again, thats just me. I just thought Id chime in and this is nothing personal. Im just speaking b/c Ive noticed a GRIP of THESEt types of vids as of late....

[nevergvup]

Thanks Jia for the comments. You know I always appreciate your realness. It is just my opinion on the cliques and I don't have too much of a problem with the cliques then I do them responding and subbing only to their friends but yet they do not sub for sub.

[nevergvup]

Yes there is a lot of childish ppl on youtube. I am not really bugging out and I know you do not mean this strictly for me but its like if you did a vid and all of a sudden you get like 5000 views but no comments you would think something too...and a lot of ppl are on here to get recognized so views and comments mean a lot to them because it shows that ppl enjoy them and may want to see them on the big screen or not.

[nevergvup]

I agree with you on this because Kritz4prez says that all the time...and I will say it when I see she has 4000 views and 70 comments I just think that is crazy... I mean I know with myself sometimes I will get busy and can not comment but if I like I will rate it and then come back later if I remember.

[jiatv]

Well Ifeel you. It IS weird..but thats just how it is. Maybe Im just retarded b/c Im out of the loop on all these things. I SEE things but I turn the other way. I watch what I watch..sometimes I too forget to comment..Momo just taught me to five star all the time so I at least do that. But I think that if everyone just relaxed and had fun, rather than overanalyzing the minute, we'd be good :)

I think for a lot of YouTube celebs and partners, it might be a bit hard to get used to the idea that there's a bit of voyeur in most of us. That is, most viewers like to peek into the lives of warm, witty, attractive, interesting people, but not connect with or make a commitment (i.e. leave comments or sub). I'm sure there are many reasons why, but I'll bet most YouTube celebs are puzzled by the same sort of thing.

I enjoy your videos because you keep it both real and fun! Glad I subbed!
