  • i totally get you on this issue.

    i myself cautiously subscribe to channels that i will actually watch/comment .

  • Hi I'm pretty small. :)

  • I think more people should return subs, unless they really don't like what the person has to offer. Great concept you have here. I don't think I'm subbed to anyone big.

  • I love your background.

  • why smpfilms?!

  • Good point, what I have noticed though is that Youtubers who have a lot of subscribers don't actually subscribe to a lot of channels? Maybe that's because they don't want the competition or are just selfish egotists?

  • I don't know. I am currently subd to over 300.... I'll unsub from them all again in about6 months and do my best to find new people...

    Some bigger youtubers actually take this more seriously than others.

  • A lot of the people on the most subscribed lists were probably still on that list when they had only 3 to 10 thousand subscribers, but nowadays, there are a lot of people who have made their way to that same point, yet it isn't considered a lot anymore. Yet, if you look at the people in the 3 to ten thousand range now, they do seem to have a lot of subscriptions much of the time.

  • How timely for me right now. I just cut my subscriptions down from 222 to 175 because the number was stressing me out (weekends are pretty much my only time to do real Tubing anymore). There were a few "big" channels on that list, but I also removed a lot of secondary channels that people seemed to have abandoned (one hadn't had a new upload in 11 months!). Didn't send any of those people messages saying I was taking the exit, tho.

    I really like how you support the people who are starting out.

  • I just unsubd from 250 people. So far nobody has said anything.

  • I have too say now that im a partner it's not a wise choice! lol I can not believe I am one of the last too respond!

    peaceouTy!

  • thanks for your post..........i want to unscribe to someone, how do u do it?

  • If you subscribed to somebody just hit that same button again or until that orange color comes back! Take care!

    peaceouTy!

    TAMMpON

  • I do this too! Peeps email back and say, why'd ya sub my videos they're crappy! I go back and find something positive! It seems like everyone has a cute baby, so im not lying, I find something nice! I try not to sub anyone below me @ 3100 now! (i'll change my rule 4 U tho ;) Its enjoyable to feel youre uplifting spirits that been for over a year and your the only sub! U R more friendlier, i'll admit!GaBman! Take care GaBman!!

    PeaceouTy!

  • Hey, thanks!

  • I need to go through my subscriptions myself and clear some things up. So far no one that im subscribed to has contacted me but HelloRodney (only because I informed him of my review.), Tom whom I am not subscribed to because he is rather dull. I dont see why you can not educate while you entertain.. So you make a sound point, seem's like the big fish in the pond dont care. So yup im going to do as you suggest. Time to start hunting for new subscriptions.

  • Yep! Thanks for watching. The big fish are not completely disinterested...but pound for pound the smaller subs have more to offer in the way of time and interaction.

  • We shall see, I have just found a couple already that seem very interesting, and ill keep hunting. I have zero subscribers at the moment. Which does not surprize me since I got off track with watching the entire renetto drama scene.. Im going to continue my English Lesson series, and also start a Help Desk series as well.

  • I think you make some pretty fair points.

  • I have only subscribed to 2 people. Subscriptions? Id be lucky if some one even looked at my videos. You have a good idea lets hope more people support the "little" man/woman on youtube.

  • Thanks for this video, I hope it helps a lot of new people. xxx <3

  • haha. i did the same thing with the video i just sent to you. i lost like 40 subscribers and havent gained any since. so, my plan worked! haa

  • you didn't subscribe to me. jerk. i'm gonna go cry now.

  • What's the difference? I thought the whole point of subscribing was to find your favorites more easily from the youtube homepage. There's nothing symbolic in that. If you disagree with your paper's editorial one day, do you delete your bookmark for it? Then add it again the next day if you agree. I think this is taking it way too seriously.

  • you are taking my video too seriously.

  • You're taking my comment too seriously

  • Great video!!

    Love it.

  • also please subscribe to dreamsarepossible

  • shoulda put me in ther man

  • Hey! You subscribed to me!!! Seriously man, that made me so HAPPY!! THANK YOU!!!

    <3

    Corinna Fugate

  • Hey Guy, I think you are awesome. Thank You

  • Yeeaahhh! That's the support! =)

  • keepin' it positive

  • Great wisdom in your words here. This recent subject on Unsubscribe is refreshing. I can't watch everybody and this will bring the community up a notch. It might save those who really are talented but might feel the pressure of making vlogs too often and give them a break. But thats up to them huh? :) Peace

  • Finally....someone who can convey a thought in a quick and non-monotone way. Your cause is also good.

  • Thanks!

  • u remind me of george lopez or that puppy trainer cezar milan

  • Dogwhisperer

    rocks.

    Tnxs

  • i just watchd the magichookers video response to you then subscribed i agree with you its important to help out the little guys but there are some big names that i love on here but yeah i unsubed from renetto a long time ago and dont give a fuck what he has to say

  • OH, man... I love your delivery. Your last sentence had me laughing so loud my dog freaked.

  • You rock buddy! Everyone has to start at zero and work their way up and honestly, it's people like you that make me want to YouTube, thanks!!

  • Wow! Thanks again!

  • thank hellorodney for showing you to me. nice vids homie!

  • Wow! Thanks!

  • nice sentiment...

  • Cool idea. Thanks for sharing.

  • Hi, I agree and I am going to be cleaning out my subscription closet over the weekend lol. I just unsubscribed to geriatric and I feel so mean now LOL!! It's ok, he won't miss me because he doesn't even know I exist :( haha great video!

  • is excellent man, i actually have never subbed to renetto, boh3m3, ect, being some1 who is small i will say, new subs mean something, even tho i dont always go off thankin peeps, but that shit otherwhelms me sometimes?

  • so you didnt accept it as a video response? It's an opinion

  • I accept all video responses automatically!

  • subscribing makes it easier for me to watch the videos i want to see. choosing not to "honor" with my subscription someone i watch but disagree with is just making more work for me. besides, i think it's healthy to have opposing opinions around us, in order to help keep us in check :)

  • Read comments below. I agree.

  • You are an effective communitor my friend! Because of so many time constaints I hadnt't even seen how effective you could be. You make such excellent points and your views here are in synch with mine as far as getting names out of those that are amazing, but small. It's all I've ever done on YT. You are inspirational. Rock on my friend! - John Reagan

  • How did Renetto get so big anyway? Anyway, good video and good speed talking. However, the Crossmack thing is getting stale. I tried to watch one of his videos...once.

  • Huh? Crossmack and I are forming a committee to take over all the smaller minds of YouTube.

  • part 2-

    community" here on youtube. I subscribed to her because her Japanese was AWESOME, and I can't take that away from her... but at the same time, she does seem to be offering anything to anyone else - other than hopefuls who think that they can learn Japanese overnight by listening to music and reading manga like she claims. That is just through my eyes and my oppinion... i could be dead wrong, but that is how i may use your suggestions for this subscription thing!

  • Very good point. Thanks for posting, man. I was hoping you'd come up with a fun video for my beer invite. Next time, ne!

  • part 1 -

    I really like your idea of utilizing subscriptions. I was actually pondering the other day about applemilk. She hasn't replied to any of my comments let along really contributed anything to the "Japanese language

  • Loved it! Great idea. There are so many cool people that don't have subscribers and I think this is a great idea!

  • good idea.

  • I love this! I've been exploring YouTube for a little while now and it all still seems so generic and superficial. I thought I'd subscribe to the "big ones" because it might help me meet others but really, nothing happens. You've definitely got the right idea. I love it. This is like the real "featured" videos.

  • Wow! That is a really really nice thing to read. Thank you!

  • This is definitely the way to go. Meet little people. Make friends. Support one another. Root for one another. Make vids. Have fun! THanks for the comment.

  • I would much rather subscribe to those with few subscriptions for the same reasons because you know they will appreciate you taking the time to do so. <3

  • Hey, K! Thanks for commenting. After I made this vid the response was so good that I went through and further unsubscribed to even more big YouTubers. And it feels good!

  • That's so funny! The irony, though, is that now I'll bet there are a lot of people subscribing to you! I did. But you're definitely making a difference. I like that you are finding funny stuff on people who don't get very many views.

  • Hey there V, you make some good points. I haven't vlogged yet mostly because I have a fettish for watching! It does take some form of courage or a special kind of crazy to Vlog but some are built for it. If I subscribe to a popular Youtuber(and it doesn't happen often)it is mostly because they have said something or done something that has made me smile, is thought provoking or warrants respect. However, I know my subscription is not really needed.

  • lol peep my subscriptions...the ONLY people you'd consider popular would be maybe smosh and sxephil...oh and brookers....anyone else, then I'm forgetting but it's strictly who I enjoy watching...but i've never subscribed simply due to the # of views, other subscribers, or being the most discussed... good vid

  • I've done the same thing as you did. Yes the people, even the angry people, when you subscribe, it seems to change their outlook, especially if they had NO subs.

    It's unfortunate that YouTubers still flock to the "popular" users, and usually are afraid to disagree with them.

  • What do I do? I'm not subscribed. Should I subscribe and then un-subscribe. Pls help me!

  • Watch a few vids. If LIKE, subscribe. If not move on. If subscribe keep watching. Comment. Rate. Keep me real. When sick of me, send me a note telling me so and ... move on.

  • This whole time I thought you're from India. Hmm porque gritas tanto tronco? Estas bien? Tranquilate

  • Took your advice Victor, and went through my subscriptions. To tell you the truth some of the big named Youtubers are unsubscribed. Why subscribe when I can look on most responded or most discussed and find them anyway? Peace

  • Thanks! I just unsubscribed to Renetto, I hope everyone else does the same.

  • Cool Idea. I think everyone should search for the "little guy" tubers. Many of the popular tubers have gotten boring.

  • I've done this a couple of times myself. I, too, unsub'd from Crossmack, and for the same reason. LOL

  • Dude, I just started going through your videos and I can't stop watching...haha nice work man. Way to give these guys a plug - you are an admirable YouTuber.

  • Just unsubscribed to all of the popular people on my subscribition list. A very good idea man =)

  • Crossmack IS the crazy mental brother from Six Feet Under

  • Very Good Video.

  • Funny you bring this up.. I subscribed to alot of people..no one said anything until one lil guy WISHINGLAMP and he personally thanked me. I couldnt believe how nice that was. I think the ones that have so many subscribers dont care . Your right.

    I found you and watch you because of how excited and annoyed you get. ( my personal favs)

    Not to mention, I watch cos your adorable. I love your eyebrows.

    Smoochies

  • Victor hey you, thanks so much for the support man seriouslys, you make my day. I'll keep watching your videos as long as you keep watchin mine :]

    Many Thanks!

  • I hardly ever watch featured videos, or the most rated or most discussed. I like to go through the most recently added, and I've found a lot of cool people that and little or no subscribers that are interesting. Great idea Victor!

  • We did this quite a while ago, our thought on this is as follows: we no longer can give a shit about those who don't give a shit about us...just that simple. Because...why? Why would we, you know. Otherwise, it becomes a case of the "star system". And...we don't believe in such a system at any time with any one, so...why would we suddenly give a fuck here at YouTube. We don't. That's our story and...we're sticking to it.

  • i like the idea, but not for the "be nice to people" sense of it.  i think a lot of people who don't otherwise get much attention might find some viewership.

  • Good point. But a lot of you MADE my day with your initial comments and subscriptions and video responses!

  • right, because it meant something. that meant that i saw something that i liked, not that i was compelled or invited to help other people feel good.

  • There's definitely a lot of body behind what you're saying heh, I have a horrible habit of just adding and adding. Around 230 subscriptions at the moment I think. Really into tlg487 and thecruelworld right now they have some awesome content. Just sub'd to you too man, saw you in one of Trevor's vids. Keep Smilin'

    D

  • great idea... i'm in.

  • Ok, I was really starting to like you, but now you sound High! You sound more and more like Crossmack. sorry bro, but lay off the drugs.

  • Actually, I made 2 vids but the first one was way too long. I hate punishing people with loooong vids so I tried to speak quickly and get my point across. It does give the coked up impression doesn't it. (Impossible to get drugs safely in Japan, btw.) Thanks for the comment. Lol!

  • Okay first this guy says to subscribe to someone with whom you got nothing in common, then later he says unsubscribe from someone you now find you disagree with. WTF? Which one? Just subscribe to whoever ya feel like subscribing to, or don't. Whatever. The rating system doesn't work as well if you actively try to mess with it. A lotta people think Renetto's funny. That's why he's up there. That's it.

  • You make it sound like a lot of fun. Too bad I'm an old man.

    (Spam)

    You have recently posted several comments.

    Please wait some time before posting another.

  • Mpys8er looks like ralph macchio.

  • i dont know who that is but thank you!

  • that's the karate kid. lol.

  • i'm sorry i can't unsubscribe, you're too cool. but if you don't make a few random videos again (like that lamb sock puppet thing) i'll just have to consider... justkidding. i like where you're going with this. peace.

  • You Tubers with thousands of subscribers actually have an obligation to do what you did here. Great job. Also, those with tons of subscribers (whether fake or not), they automatically appear on the top pages anyway.

  • I unsubscribed for lonelygirl15...a while ago.

  • I do think its a good idea. I've been thinking about unsubscribing from crossmack for awhile. Its just so unhealthy to listen to his crap day in and day out. I'm interested in listening to John Pliskin so thanks for the mention. :D

  • You impress me more, with every new vid! :)

    I've actually YT'd with this idea, since I joined. I sub to only a few "big" people, 'cause I actually enjoy them. But I have quite a few "nobody's"- like me!- & a few that don't have ANY vids, I just thought their comments were very intellegent.

    I think I could un-sub GregSolomon, though. He seems to be a "shit-stirrer".

  • My theory I don't subscribe to someone who is always going to be on the "most viewed" or "most discussed" lists. There is no reason to do it other than to show support or make it easy to locate this persons videos in which case it is not hard if they are all over the place. So that is why I don't subscribe to you.

  • good idea,but its hard to find people with good videos who dont have much 'support'

  • OK. I subcribe to you and I'm new. I only have 5 or 6 subcribers so far. Check me out

  • thanks for suggestin some new people. :D

    always appreciated, but that's what I do sometimes just checkin out the less spotlighted ones, which I should do more often.

  • You do not have to choose my choices. Pick your own if you like, but it can be really fulfilling to help someone. Thanks for posting!

  • Another quality idea from the breakman brain! I subscribed to a guy called crashbarry today! I'm sub no. 3! His vids are a little on the long side but he's different so I'm wigwamming his ass! (metaphorically).

  • Doc, your new video rocks!

  • I think it's wrong to unsubscribe to somebody just because you dis-agree - it's nice to debate.

    But yeah, good idea on the subscribings...

  • Yes. Many people have pointed that out. Good point.

  • I am addicted to Renetto and SMP Films. I love their sarcasm so I couldnt unsubscribed but I like how your rooten for the underdog here. The one no-one knows. Awesome idea. I will check them out. ~Raven

  • I have to admit I do subscribe to some favs, like crossmack. In his case its to watch the mental choo choo derail in slow motion. I actually dont LISTEN to him though. I turn the volumn down and watch his face and read the comments. Does that count as unsubscribing? *snicker* BTW - youre awesome

  • Hmmm... ok! That counts!

  • Good idea Victor, but I like your vids, so I can't unsubscribe to you. Besides, I have watch how the wedding goes after the Doc's planning...lol

  • You are very sweet!

  • Hey man! As somebody with only 18 subscribers, who's videos I think are as good as the YouTube "all-stars", I applaud this effort! The big guys don't give a shit about me as a subscriber..but yet we talk about them as they're celebrities. It's time the little guy had a voice! Also--cool that you're a Mac guy here...Mac guy as well! Great video!

  • I should have included you! Sorry! Macs rule!

  • My point here is NOT who I am subsribing, but rather getting you to find someone who needs encouragement. Thanks for being one step ahead of me.

  • True! But he came to me and asked me for my opinion on his videos. He wants opinions! It is SO depressing if NO ONE comments. I have been there. But I get it.

  • Wow Thanks Victor, and yes I do have an awesome beard.

  • My pleasure. I told you weeks ago, I like your videos.

  • It is cool, right!? Hey thanks for posting! So how did you get Renetto to promote you!? Slip him the flavor of the day? Man, you rock. I have never been embarrassed of watching you! V

  • REALLY good post man! I hear ya..

  • Thanks! People are listening! I have lost 6 subscriptions already!

  • And if I subscribed to that Christian person I might just keep him away from any religion <3

  • It would be a challenge. I am not anti-christian. But I do not encourage preaching... I shut the door on all door to door preachers... BUT something about him appeals to me.

  • Ew no rapping please :( but good point

  • I am not into rappers...but I like talking to people who are different!

  • I cried the day you UNSUBSCRIBED... please come back... PLEASE!

  • Oh, my God! I am star struck! Did you really? I want video proof! But, I do appreciate your videos. Even the ones that piss everybody off! You better be careful with Khayav! We go back longer way! (And he told me wasn't really black, but not to tell you.)

  • OMG OMGOMG RENETTO WAS HERE~ AND MY NAME IS NEXT TO HIS COMMENT! Do I get a dollar?

  • who is renetto?

  • LOL!

  • DITO... who is this guy who spells his user name just like mine... I think he is some poser who thinks his STUFF don't stink!

  • he's some random guy. not very popular...lol. just playing. he's a popular guy on here with some interesting vids. check him out.

  • iMac therefore iAm.

  • good idea man.

  • Every now and then I check the most recent channels section and end up subscribing to one or two people. It really is encouraging for them.

  • Good idea.

    V

  • AppalachianVoices subscribe to ApplachianVoices AppalachianVoices subscribe to ApplachianVoices AppalachianVoices subscribe to ApplachianVoices AppalachianVoices subscribe to ApplachianVoices

  • OK! OK! Jeezus!

  • OMG mac lover!!! It's a good idea.

  • yikes i didn't know LV was banned was wondering about him

    yes i've always felt the "little" guys were the best--that's why i subscribed to you hee hee

    i'd never meet anybody that i've "met" on youtube

  • Great stuff

  • Good idea Gimmeabreakman - btw, is there a clever nickname I could call you? ;) - but you're never getting me to unsubscribe from nalts even if he is way popular!

  • GABM?

  • Just call me Gimme... or...oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! You could call me Victor! Just a thought.

  • Thought so, but some people don't like you to use their real name. *shrug*

  • I subscribed to you because you railed on Crossmack...and i've been enjoying your videos since.

  • Thanks!

  • Hmmm... did not meet to insult them. Whoops!

  • Please do!

  • Good idea, but I think that YouTube needs to hide the subscriber statistics. There are a lot of people out there who are just subscribing to people hoping that someone will subscribe to them in return. I can't say this for sure, but I see it happen a lot on other sites like mySpace, Flickr, Livejournal, etc. It's a shame that subscriptions get used this way rather than their intended purpose. I only subscribe to users I truly love (or hate). I wonder how many others out there do the same thing?

  • That is a good idea too.

  • I kind of feel guilty now for my subscriptions:(

  • Nah! Do not feel guilty! Just subscribe to someone smaller than you and encourage them!

  • I care for you, you remind me of me but with a fallic device self operated. I can't spell...that's so sad. Lol but that's good your idea. People should unsubscribe from the famers and subscribe to the little people. that rapper is not that good....

  • You dirty girl! Many people have post comments that I do not have one of those..

  • You have beard envy! lol. You know what I've found? I actually don't enjoy watching the videos from people who think the same way I do. It's kinda boring.

  • You and I are one great example! Shaking that booty for your next 100?

  • I don't think so. I think we've had enough bootie shakin for a while. Besides, one of my co-workers found it and has been circulating the video through the company. Now every time I turn around, someone wants me to show them the bootie shake in person! Doh!

  • I think this is a really cool idea. I'm following you. I want to do this too.

  • Great!

  • No, I do not know why he got banned. I imagined it had something to do with this using tv clips? Anyway, I liked his stuff, and I spoke to the guy a couple of times. Nice enough fellow. Beemerry? Sorry, lost me there, man. BUT I was especially curious as to what you would say -- since you resist my suggestions. I still cannot believe you don't like megalisstudio or docrusty? How about umbeleumbeleumbele?

  • awsome!

  • Thanks man!

  • John Pliskin looks like Crossmack for some reason! Have you noticed that?

  • What? Really? No way. He has a good nose.

  • Lol! haha!!! Hair style actually!

  • I wouldn't subscribe to someone just to make their day. I mean, if I'm not going to watch the vids, that makes no sense...

    and actually I think if someone's really entertaining he will get a subscriber base without references from others.

    I actually don't like recommendation-vids at all (seems to be a new trend..). I rather find people on YT by myself (f.e. your channel when you had 20 subs or so) ;)

  • Fair enough. But what I am saying is take a chance on someone who you might be on the fence with. That is what I do. I have also unsubscribed when that person begins to bore me... but by that time, they usually have many more people and no longer need the cheerleader. (Sorry about the rec video. It will NOT be the only thing I do. Just wanted to introduce an idea.)

  • I will never unsubscribe from u, what if u come up with another nice idea and I miss it, hell no!!! anyways, right now I'm checking out JohnPliskin and I have to say he is a really nice guy, and sane. So yeah thanks for the idea, oh and btw I can't unsubscribe from sxephil either, sorry, he is funny.:P

  • JohnPliskin is nice. I am not really into the religious stuff, but his vids are not about that. Anyway...

    Yeah, sxephil is one of mine, too!
