Very good, Zen. I agree with you 100%. I hate it when I get those messages, I get them all the time from people, asking me to subscribe to them and stuff. I don't subscribe to that many people other than friends and family, I only subscribe to channels that I personally find interesting and want to watch all the time.
I love it when Boo Kitty is in the window during your vlogs. lol
Amen Zen. It is hard enough sifting through YouTube to find good vids without having to sift through a bunch of garbage posted here by people here for no other reason than chasing the almighty buck.
Twitter is quickly being destroyed by that same mindset, and it is very discouraging.
Great vide!!! I've been away from YouTube for a long time and am just now catching up on some of the people I used to like watching a lot. You're one of my favorites. Thank you for all the great advice. I'm looking forward to your eBay vids because I just started selling on there a few months ago myself.
I make my videos cause I think its something people will like I dont subscribe so I get known I enjoy your videos and I thank you for adding me as a friend keep it coming
Glad to see another balancing act video, hope the ball gets rolling, I was thinking the other day about how I would have liked to have seen your ebay tutorial video, hope things are well with you, take care
You are wasting your time because the users using YouTube for marketing aren't watching any vlogger videos. Do you use Twitter? Everyone is jumping on the Twitter bandwagon now.
I subbed to you because you're a real person, you mean what you say and you're not full of it,also because of your views on spirituality,inner peace and happiness,I feel the same way.
I hate people being here just for the subs while spamming the sh*t out of these good communities, I never ask for subs nor do I try to even slightly promote myself, those who like what I do and say will find me eventually, I'm looking forward to your next video and those that will follow of course.
Poe I am so annoyed with these damn sub whores! I get a few of them every day I look at them first then I decide if they're worth my time. Most of my subscribers are very interesting & I love im all!!!! But I agree with you 100 percent! Sub Whores Suck! 5 stars all the way
It's funny, I JUST denied a Friend Request from Stickam from a guy with 7,000 friends who had no interests in common with me whatsoever. Then I saw your vid! We're on the same page, Poe. Aloha!
Eventhough we all hate those spamers and people who beg, what can you/we expect?
Youtube is for free, and usually when things on the internet is free a crapload of _shit_ comes along with it. It's just something we all need to deal with, because getting rid of them is impossible.
No I'm not Pro-Spamers, all I'm saying is that it's better to adapt to what's going on instead of fighting an impossible battle. Please type "We have to fight for our right" and other crap, but it wont get rid of em
I get several "Sub to me" spam e-mails in my inbox everyday.. it's ANNOYING. When i write them back and tell them not to they harrass me and curse all kinds.
people trying to dupe people into buying way over priced starting sets, and getting started videos that actually have nothing usefull to help people get started in glass art! I got so pissed I founded OpenSourceGlass, My wife and I are actually founding a full non profit so we can try to help the glass community. I sink everything of myself into my work, both glass and video, and I too am tired of inappropriate marketing here on youtube. I turned friend lock on because of it.
I'm subscribed to you because I like your stuff and I like what you've got to say Zen. I never send or accept friend requests and I don't post any videos. I use YouTube for my own entertainment and enjoyment. Thank you for being you and telling it like it is.
I deleted all my friends long ago. The box just stayed spammed up with videos I could NEVER EVER have the time to watch all of...some folks sent the same video 15 times. I just did away with it.
Nice.
Be Well.
