@thewillofdc your welcome I actually learned bout u from breakingNYC tell Ray I said hi

[mackfizzeler]

@thewillofdc cool I love your channel and I use it for my #1 YouTube news source and I love how you actually read&respond to your comments! Like no one else!

[TheWillofDC]

@mackfizzeler thanks for all the support!

[karch76]

I love the 'lookback' ,the comparisons you make , the trending , keep it coming! it would be interesting to hear more about how the 'viewer only' part of YouTube community , the 99% , is growing, i.e. in what areas , where are the most viewers/subscribers from globally, I want numbers, demographics and charts! I kid:D, I'm not sure if this information is available or public at all, but it sure would be interesting to know and especially to hear your take on it.

[mackfizzeler]

I suggest an intro or something but I love ur vids

[TheWillofDC]

@mackfizzeler i've tried making one and others have made one for me, but nothing feels right. :(

[AnestheticsDontHurt]

Will... I have bad news for you. I just watched your first video. (Or at least the first thats still available) You've gained weight :[ I mean srsly your still not fat "I'm just sayin."

[mizzpicklezz]

will u are the bill board for u Tube - this is great keep it up :D

[TheWillofDC]

@mizzpicklezz thanks!

[138riley138]

Happy Easter! :)

[cabrum3]

Since this vid talks about ppl just starting out watch my vids!! They rnt very good but it took 4ever to make them. Search StopMotionsGuy:). Will if you like send me feed bak and tell ur friends( especially ray)spank u!!! :-)

[footballgeek500]

Man your awesome WillofDC!! You speak so fast which makes it, oddly, more interesting:)

[TheWillofDC]

@footballgeek500 yay thanks for the suport!

[stickytoonz]

This video was inspiring, Thanks.

[Norenbert]

i watch you and rays video's all the time and i will soon begin to make video's :D hopefully it will get great but will have fun doing it for sure (:

[TheWillofDC]

@Norenbert yay can't wait!

[Norenbert]

@TheWillofDC  same here =]

[nbtful]

i tried to do this with the internet wayback machne, but the most subscribed list looked a lot different than this one. I think that the list is for a different time period because smosh has 100,000 subscribers less and lonelygirl15 was 2nd. It looked completely different. I'm trusting your computer because mine's been known to have problems.

[WillDanceForCake]

I saw lassegg at 1:45 :O

He's at 432 now?!

I remember back in May 2007, when he used to be at number 31.

Probably the most successful norwegian on youtube.

[wildatheart3277]

i love this one!

oh and when i was in ny recently all i could think was 'it would be soo cool to run into will and ray!'

then we went to DC and i was like 'ohh man will used to live here!'

(:::

[TheWillofDC]

@wildatheart3277 hahaha yep!

[theyacstacommish]

nice message will but yah the community is good but there are so many haters that the good gets shut out just look at my video comments =(

[barkchun]

sry if this counts as spam because I really hate spamming but, can you, TheWillofDC, quickly scan my channel and tell me what I should improve on my videos. p.s. my first 4 videos, wherent that good, cause i was just starting but i didnt delete them cause i wanna keep the for future purposes. thanks :)

[LittleEvilGrayKitten]

Even though I'm still new at this I'll be doing videos in the summer so I'll have fun doing this. :)

[TheWillofDC]

@LittleEvilGrayKitten YAY

[138riley138]

Imagine how great it is to look back in two years and be able to see what was going on on Youtube in "earlier days" :)

[Mumblemumble375]

I was wondering if you script yourself because you are insane with the stats and never seem to goof up!! I am about to start my own You Tube videos to teach people about my disease ( Lupus) and let everyone watch from my surgery soon to remove my infected kidney, the recovery etc etc etc... any advice you can give? I know it's a completely dif type of vidoes but I want to reach out and educate as many people as I can about care/warning signs etc. I'm super nervous:p

[SeekerKC]

Oooo! You're such a tease, Will! XD

[thanasis91]

i like this because it is kinda imba for us that don't know much about youtube

[chinglis]

someone has no life, i think we can all guess who!

[paulsanchez]

really enjoyed this insight on top subscribers. glad i found your channel.

[wrongfoot]

More then anything youtube just rips off other original content and steals profit.

[stephenkind]

asian domination i lolled a bit hehe

[haqim123456789]

i knew it!!!!your gay!!!

[TheCoxjohn]

and i have 54 what is going on!

[duncan33303]

Great video Will! That really puts things in perspective, what the site will look like in two years is going to be insane. Imagine a hundred people with a million subscribers haha.

[TheWillofDC]

@duncan33303 ikr! how crazy would that be!

[WatchVenusSpa]

Our show is gunning for 1,000 subscribers but ultimately it's the VIEWS that mean more.
