[TheBrainEnema]

nice pointers, i watch your vids but sorry i don't always leave a comment. great job though!

[xRandomShadowManx]

@TheBrainEnema HAHA. You're on my channel right now because I just added this on there like 5-10 minutes ago. It's awesome though, I really appreciate you stopping by and you're welcome to message me if you ever want to talk. :)

[TheAngryAmericanwon]

get me some ad's on mine..

[xRandomShadowManx]

@Corruptendo I hear you.

[mrhoppsmc23]

On 9.) You spelt YouTube Youtbe, you should probably edit that :)

[mrhoppsmc23]

It looks like your chair is going to fall over LOL!

[DHammerr]

you talk weird

[xRandomShadowManx]

@DHammerr Thanks. :)

[jasebrook]

You speak the truth, but yet seem on drugs. So I can't subscribe.

[xRandomShadowManx]

@jasebrook If you really think I'm on drugs, then you have issues. :P

[BluePillowManguy]

YOU SUCK! jk, i totally agree with you that good people on youtube are left behind while view whores like machinima are ahead in the competition, like my friend scoutsecurity, he makes GREAT videos that i record, and he only has about 24-25 subs, so sad.

[TK4240]

my friends keep sending me ur vids thinking that it was mee doing them, we are very alike lol

[xRandomShadowManx]

@TK4240 huh explain lol?

[TK4240]

@xRandomShadowManx i just find it ironic, i didint want to sound angry at you or anything. ..... lol

[xRandomShadowManx]

@TK4240 You're good bro. I think you're going to LOVE my next video. :D

[TK4240]

@xRandomShadowManx n doubt on that

[MrDiapond]

good job bobblehead

[EverMarProductions]

I totally agree with you dude! Especially with the YouTube drama, I'm seeing a lot of that lately.

[brendanboy11]

Heh your great dude keep it up :D

[Angel503z]

I am so glad people are talking about this in detail. I am always on the hunt for entertaining YouTube videos. I never watch TV and am always on here. I have found some really good channels like yours, but many of the channels I like aren't featured and sometimes don't even appear on my subscriptions (eventhough I am subscribed to them)... like this one. :(

[xRandomShadowManx]

@Angel503z Thank you so much for your support. Yeah, I felt this video needed to be made. :D

[KiddsockTV]

Amen Bro! Keep on YouTubin!

[YourFriendTommy]

[CuhOrey]

[kurtkaboom]

I love the intro! Great video, Chris.

[PointBaron]

ORGASMIC INTRO!!!

[ifeelyummers]

agree 100 % but do you feel that maybe youtube would be better if it wasn't commercialized.? would people like sxephil or shaytards be around?

[Wizard101FanCom]

Youtube Wasnt Like This (like All The Ads And Stuff) Until Google Bought It. :/

[Oblivonkilll]

@Wizard101FanCom Well maybe if you use FIREFOX and have Adblock Plus on :)

Hell I didnt even know there were ad's until I was at school and there were ad's I was like whhhaattt?? :D

[bjwnavigator]

I do oh so like that intro.

[xRandomShadowManx]

@bjwnavigator Thank you. :)

[epicsilas]

Great vid man! I agree with you all around.

[xRandomShadowManx]

@epicsilas You're awesome at supporting me. :D

[MichaelWarbux]

I agree with this video! Great job bro!

[xRandomShadowManx]

@MichaelWarbux Thanks dude. :)

[TK4240]

nice i love this vlog :)

[xRandomShadowManx]

@TK4240 Thanks. :)

[Filmhawk]

Chris great video! i totally agree with everything you said on this. I have broken some rules myself and i have to always remind my self :)

[xRandomShadowManx]

@Filmhawk Once again. I havn't seen you break any rules that I can remember which is a good sign haha. Your videos are great man. :)

[misstaramcmahon]

Awesome video Chris, I really like what you've been doing lately. RESPECT!

[xRandomShadowManx]

@misstaramcmahon Thank you. :D

[TheAmberFiles]

Youtube is growing and evolving. I remember when boh3m3, brookers and bowiechick were the first stars of youtube, at least that's how I remember it. Then they kinda fizzled out and these new youtubers appeared, youtubers who seem to know what they are doing with the site enough to draw livable revenue off it. Is it wrong of them to make a living off of youtube? I don't think so, even if it's not brilliantly filmed and edited, people still watch it because it's kinda real and that's what counts.

[OS253]

@TheAmberFiles: Some youtubers make good income making videos. It's a dream job for some people. Popularity = More Money

[TheAmberFiles]

@OS253 It's a dream job for me, for sure. But I can never think of a subject for a video to save me and my life isn't entertaining enough to film. :P

[KeaneAve]

yess but those ads in the beginning of the video that u cannot skip are just dreadful :P

[xRandomShadowManx]

@KeaneAve lol the pre-rolls

[matttchapman]

Great opinions. I have broken a few of those rules. haha!

Chappy

[xRandomShadowManx]

@matttchapman I'm probably not paying too close attention because I can't recall you violating anything I mentioned in this video or if you did, it wasn't as bad as I've seen it haha. :)

[matttchapman]

@xRandomShadowManx Well, I probably have too many channels.  haha

[xRandomShadowManx]

@61thethinker Thanks. :D

[Burpman62]

ಠ_ಠ lol

[xRandomShadowManx]

@Burpman62 lol

[Burpman62]

@xRandomShadowManx lmao i know it IS funny! (ಠ_ಠ)

[BlackDahliaMurder22]

great video mate!

[xRandomShadowManx]

@BlackDahliaMurder22 Thanks. :)

[sammah]

very interesting.

[xRandomShadowManx]

@sammah Thank you. :)

[owlofrock]

I hate how SOME of the famous yourtubers get millions of views with little to no effort, and people like me who do greenscreen and whatnot get at most 100 views.

[xRandomShadowManx]

@owlofrock Yeah, it's annoying but those guys aren't trying to harsh us. They worked their asses off to get to where they are.

[OS253]

Most high quality videos never get seen by viewers. Only the popular youtubers get to view by millions of people.

[xRandomShadowManx]

@OS253 Yeah, exactly. Although, some popular youtubers put out high quality and funny stuff. MGM and KassemG rock.

[cangriman0101]

My favorite kind of youtubers are people that talk their mind like a normal and if they are funny it's because they are and not that they are tryingto be, like sXephil! I do like big youtubers like KassemG and MysteryGuitarMan! My favorite youtubers are you and DrunkenChickenTV, which shows my preference! I go to youtube to see YOUtube videos! If I wanted to see tv I would watch TV not TheStation and CollegeHumor!

And about the ads, there are more ads on tv, and the 15 sec ads are worth the wait

[xRandomShadowManx]

@cangriman0101 I enjoy KassemG,MysteryGuitarMan, and sxephil videos. One day, they're going to stumble among my videos. In fact, I think they've seen some of my older videos that weren't that great haha.

[biggydman]

Great vlog.

[xRandomShadowManx]

@biggydman Thank you. :)

[thegr8stever]

Good vlog dude ;D

[xRandomShadowManx]

@thegr8stever Thank you. :)

[KeaneAve]

agrreed mann too many ads :(

[xRandomShadowManx]

@KeaneAve The ads make youtube function well. :D

[commodore256]

What about the Youtube inbox? I don't have an inbox on my front page anymore.

I don't give a shit about the spotlight videos! I want my inbox on the front page again! My way around this is resetting my youtube speed dial to the inbox page.

[xRandomShadowManx]

@commodore256 Yeah, the spotlight videos are blah lol.

[ScottKinmartinTV]

You have a good sense of how YouTube works. It shows that you're involved in the community. Keep it up.

[xRandomShadowManx]

@ScottKinmartinTV Thank you Scott. :D

[HemiJeep19]

lol nevermind i spoke too soon, good video!

[xRandomShadowManx]

@HemiJeep19 haha.

[HemiJeep19]

Who made your intro?

[xRandomShadowManx]

@HemiJeep19 lol

[AIDSCrocodile]

I know that I may slightly fall in to these categories, and I can take numbers too seriously, but I'll be honest, youtube is nowhere near dying and losing quality unlike myspace

[xRandomShadowManx]

@AIDSCrocodile I agree.

[Domingo0022IWAY]

Cool new intro! Yeah the DSLR's are just too expensive. I rather have 2 channels than more. Too much work to do. I never do videos for views, but rather than connect with people with IWAY. This spoke Truth man. Good job!

-Domingo

[xRandomShadowManx]

@Domingo0022IWAY Thank you D22. DSLRs are NOT for inexperienced youtubers with video making.

[Domingo0022IWAY]

@xRandomShadowManx Certainly not. If they don't know how to use one, it hinders them. I would rather use simple cameras for simple videos. I have a sony HD snap cam for my vlogs and use a JVC for my other videos. IF I wanted to step my game up, possibly I could get a DSLR, but not at this time because I'm poor :P

[petercoffin]

@PeterFoldberg I'll start organizing the award ceremony. Congratulations.

[xRandomShadowManx]

@petercoffin lol

[SaweetFilms]

Nice new intro man! :]

I always enjoy your videos... and this one was great as well! Very good opinions!

[xRandomShadowManx]

@SaweetFilms LOL thank you. :D
