Subscription Whoring (Rant)

[mcgeady]

Y'know what, I usually dislike vloggers, vlogging, anything related to it irks me. But this I like. You've truly hit the nail on the head. Subscription whoring drives me crazy. The high rate of swearing in this video makes it a winner too.

[yuzk2]

if anything, the "please subscribe" "please rate" thing people do makes it more unlikely that i actually will

[therandomdot]

You look like Collin Farrell's brother. And good vid, btw. And...yeah, I comment a lot, but don't rate most of the time. I will clicky the thumbs up for you.

[BoatManBeats]

Ok. See, this makes me want to subscribe to you on its own, Simply because its clear you can make valid points, that are entertainingly preformed.

Also, because i couldn't agree enough. For those that Demand a subscription as if your THAT good by default....

Ill be the judge of weather or not to subscribe to you. Thats why the button is THERE. For OTHERS and their own opinions.

[SamPD2]

Ratings are useful for me.

It used to tell me what videos are good crap and rick rolls.

Now they are just used to inflate the egos.

[gibblesism]

do u want bizzzzez

[gibblesism]

all on the ine

[DarthOptimus207]

i dont care about views supscriptions or peoples entertainment i just want a place to keep all my videos together

[XavoxMexico]

where's his english from?

[14Schofield]

@XavoxMexico Australia.

[92benno92]

So .. do I rate your video or ..?

[Liqhtupmyworld]

Lmfao.

[TpaBart]

A def personality....great comedic sense, and great presentation style, a total winner in my book! You deserve a chance on telly. Right proper, mate! Spot on over and over again! Quite bril from all aspects!

[Youreverydayvlogger]

i was gonna comment on how you were doing the whole " thumbnail cheating" thing until i saw the picture :P

[CaptainWilliam9000]

@MasterJericho85 He has them because his content is good, he doesn't have good content because he has them. Things do not work that way and you should be ashamed of yourself.

[Blunty3000]

@MasterJericho85 Try putting on your :see the obvious" hat... do you think I INSTANTLY had this number of subscribers? no, I started out with ZERO just like every one else, I earned every subscriber I have WITHOUT, EVER, begging for them, or even flat out asking, I TRUSTED that people are not complete fucking idiots and that they would subscribe all on their own *if* they wanted to see more of what I do not because I NAGGED them to. DUH.

[Blunty3000]

@MasterJericho85 Bullshit, stop making weak ass excuses, the "new system" doesn't make it harder, HEAPS of people ahve "made it big" since that, and I started with a shitty $30 webcam, used it for years, didn't hold me back from making videos people wanted to watch, crappy low-end equipment is not an excuse.

[arnarXx]

lol Jay and silent Bob

[Samoaqueen]

i want silent bear...

[oblivion234brown]

YES, I'M NOT ALONE

[SkunkerMunkers]

I guess I'm a whore then XD

I do it but out of boredom I honestly don't care

but either way this rant is funny and deserves thumbs up

[bricookiefl6]

I like when he's says whore..it's funny xD

[kalamitous123]

This new rating sucks to me, I prefer the stars other than like or not

[MakRatt333]

You desperate HOWAAAA!!

[RasheedAlKotob]

i totally agree

[mskittychic79]

Hahaha! Your videos always make me laugh!

[Dasidarios1]

I subscribe almost everyone i watch. Literally. I've got almost 2k people subscribed. It's become a habit.

[rjwillup]

i love your accent!!!

[9123clemsongurl]

why do so many people think this guy is cute????

vvvvv

[ichijorox]

isnt it obvious?

HE'S CUTE

[9123clemsongurl]

ummmm no

[ichijorox]

ummm yes

is it because he has a beard?

beards are hawt

[Aeonhem]

I can already tell how stupid you are.

[bdintexas]

You're cute.

[TheAussie2010]

you´re soooooooooooooo cute

[holomemo]

haha you're legend.

[tharindudanushka]

I never say subscribe, rate, comment or anything of the sort  :)

[racecarjp]

lame

[peacefulallie1994]

love the accent i want one!!!!!!!

lol

im from florida so its just kinda flat.

[Axisoflords]

Blunt Is An Aussie, so that is An Aussie Accent

[COCOPUFFiLUVYOU21909]

lol

[COCOPUFFiLUVYOU21909]

lol

[iamdavers]

A-freakin-MEN!!! :))

[Lizz350z]

I respect u for this video lol SO TRUE

[Elekid1]

This is soo true! >:(

"5 stars if you liked that punch!"

"Subscribe if you liked that bird hit da glass!"

How about STFU?

[fantastibones]

are you a partner blunty?

[THUGENSTEIN]

The Star ratings aren't nearly as bad as that thumbs up thumbs down bullshit for every SINGLE COMMENT. That's just too much, who the fuck cares I mean do I really need to look at the thumb rating of a comment first to tell myself, well damn this comment must be good so I'll read it, or it's offensive of noes! I guess marking them as spam is okay though but this rating of comments shit is ridiculous.

[soulxeater7]

good point i subed to you though XD

[TheEmosk8rchick]

love your accent! =D

[BakurasPokeDex]

I get messages every day asking me to check out their videos and I'm like "Er. . . fuck off? If I'm interested in your kind of video chances are I've searched for it." Also, how do you make those banner things?

[illage2]

I know, I keep getting messages from people asking me to visit their websites I don't even know them.

[vidsrighthere13]

was he talking about annoations

[Ryoku75]

I used to do this garbage lightly but eventually I got more mature and quit. Now I'm quite sick of seeing it everywhere as I've been on youtube for a few years and its more recent that users with attention needs started coming here.

[Kurollama]

-salutes- So many people've been asking me recently to suscribe, as in, sending messages. New fad or something?

[BetaWax]

Ahhh, the ways of the internet. Have i suscribed yet? (insert obvious sarcasm)

[JessicaKarli]

I know, I never understood why everyone seems to ask for subscriptions.

I don't. YAY I'm not a desperate whore. xD

[dr1pdr0pz]

but then again your fucking banner says SUBSCRIBE on it

[SuperSlySamuraiSpy]

Every video I look at has a banner, an intro, an outro, all yelling at me telling me to subscribe! I remember this video from wayy back and wanted to see it again, it makes me feel better.

[Ryoku75]

Ridiculous ain't it?

[gamecrazy22]

hes right

[deathnotel123]

YOU ARE BAD ASS

ps have a better day today

[UrsaMinor12]

I say that at the end only because my videos are helpful but noone ever omments rates or subscribes and I almost have 40 videos up 16 with over 200 views, but I only have 3 subscribers! then agian my account hasn't even been around for 2 weeks

[Samael527]

Jeepers media does that all the time, it annoys the hell out of me.

[Ler627]

wow i feel better,

[23Memes]

i just rated this video!!11

[CrittermationsPictrs]

hahahahaha! your banner says this now!

[ThunderMage]

Can I say something? When you do your impression of worthless people on YouTube, you sound like Sideshow Bob. It was hilarious!

Anyway, good video with a good point.

[mrgionni]

I liked the skit with the teddy bears :) Yup, I searched this because I hust got an invite to view a particular channel once again. Last time I viewed it they had 10 subsciribers and around equal amount of friends. Now they have over 280 subscribers and over 2,000 friends. The video views were only in the 2 digits. This didn't seem right as my subscribers equal only 140 and my views on some vids are almost 200,000. Happy to say I earned my subscriptions, no point having subs that don't view.

[Maelfictus]

I hate when people spam other peoples videos to "Check out there channel videos and subscribe" it burns my heart with a passion.

[KingdomHearts4Lyfe69]

Crap... typed that comment wrong

[KingdomHearts4Lyfe69]

Doesn't the new banner the complete opposite of what you said in this video...?

[MobileSuitGundamFan]

LOL, yeah I've seen videos with the most god aweful amount of "subscription whoring". The AtheneWins channel is the worst I've seen for that.

[5PhiV]

LMAO this is good.

[Zaranyzerak]

100% AGREED! I am sick to death of the rate, comment, subscribe whores, and the sub-for-sub/friend-for-friend stupidity that means NOTHING. I actually did a little spiel about this when I hit 500 subscribers. Why? Because I knew that those 500 subs were there because they actually liked watching my videos. Perish the thought! LEGIT subscribers?  Who are actually INTERESTED in what I do?? Does such a thing exist??? Yes, it does. Numbers mean nothing if no one cares about your content.

[Zaranyzerak]

Hrm...and I just noticed you have a "Comment & Subscribe" banner over the Subscribe button. Change of heart? Irony? Bad joke? Oh well, either way I sub and comment because I actually like what you do. And it was long before your little banner telling me to do that. I suspect another social experiment in the works...

[daynebrooks]

Amen.

[ZCodeProductions]

Lol! Category education!

That just made me feel like your trying to educate the completely idiotic community of youtube. For some reason gives me a hilarious feeling.

Great video, I hate people like that.

[WidlePidle]

Athene -.-

[pwnzor12345]

i totally agree with you man

and you know what else pisses me off? people who want you to "sub4sub"

[Ricard0dude]

hey do you want to sub4sub?

[therealfalcore1]

FeAr ThE bEaRd!

[jddeitz2000]

this reminded me of spricket lol!

[taurusred]

lmao lmao lmao lmao lmao

omfg I just made a video about this.... so funny. thank you for not being one of those "PLZZZZZZZZZZ SUBSCRIIIIIIIIIIIIBE" banner fuck heads.

[NotADeadCat]

amen on that.

[finisherer]

haha, too true. spoken like a true badman.

[mrhippothethird]

lol I do that at the end of all my vids....I feel bad now

[Rossta216]

Loved the little smile at the end there.

And finally a Gent with something worthwhile to say.

You're a dude, and I like you a lot. It's folk like you that make me want to rant at these insecure idiots with nothing better to do than to beg for attention.

Thank you Blunty. You're a gem.

[marrond]

LMFAO!

[Sephiroth1WingedAnge]

Well said Blunty.

[goodyfun]

I hear some people like being attention whores. Being in peoples faces is just who they are, I assume.

Oh, thank you, Blunty for the rant on animated banners! Not all of them are bad, some are subtle, but as for others, youtubers need to think them over before they're stuck next to every single video!

[KenChan007]

Superman sucks

[zorseofcorse]

lol

[Pop7707]

LMAO sometimes people comment me, "hey cool videos. Subscribe to me and i'll subscribe back"

.... then I'll be full of those comments and it's very annoying.

[acidglow]

Yeah, they're annoying.

[Ferroman1]

I love you man xD You deserve more publicity.

And lmao @the end "*Sniff*" :D

[Ferroman1]

hehehe

[peglegelizajackman]

Blunty you are hilarious... ranting is good. Ps. Watch my videos, comment and subscribe - ONLY JOKING!

[monkeyfisting]

HAH if you wanna see something who dose that to no end go check out athene he has some ok videos but he has gone as far as saying "want to see my girlfriend naked click subscribe"

"dont want to see my girlfirend naked click subscribe"

[relentlesssinner90]

If somebody asks for rating, just rate it 1 star.

[darkkarr0t]

you are so damn fuunyy!!!!!!!!!! i love your acent and when you swear you are so flippin funny!

[TheTallBeverage]

Where did you get thosr bears for silent bob and jay?

[zaction]

Dude! I could not agree more!! LOL! Well done dude! I hate that shit too. We have a whole new type of moron in this world... Youtube sub whores... PLEASE LOVE ME!! LOL

[Jaklink64]

LOL! So right!

[tsiology]

very funny :)

[cutieme44]

Haha love it :)

[cheyenne6]

At the begining, he always says "Hello again!" then he solutes with 2 fingers! C=

[kyzill]

dman every video he makes is funny but makes a hell of alot sense

[Luigi759]

People always comment on smosh's channel spamming crap like "SUB 4 SUB?!" & "COMMENT AND RATE MY VIDEO AND U GET A COOKIE". People go as far as put put porn in their profile picture to attract viewers. Really annoying.

[intothevoid0208]

silent bear haha

[TroubledParty]

you at least have a point. I don't think its pointless to ask to subscribe a lot of people I know with youtube accounts don't even know if its useful, so i tell them to and sometimes they love the feature. so idk.

[drealgrin]

snott

[tehcrazydiamond]

So true, Blunty. I've thought about this so many times..glad someone who people actually watch made a video of it.

[slammer2999]

James@War's channel must burn your very soul...

HAHA!

[erica146]

I've subscribed, rated and now I'm commenting, what you said was so true =)

x

[thatbrownguy]

yup

i agree 100%

[nepalihercules]

lol he was talking about jimmyr who always ask to rate and comment at the first

[BeefPatch]

lol i ALWAYS rate videos with the stars

[Mudkip0]

this video could have a hidden meaning, saying subscribe so many times, you might be trying to give people ideas.... but its funny all the same. Rants save the world.

[Headsetjones]

I think You just made this video to get comments ratings and subs... You Whore You!!

[chrisgibson93]

tbh i don't think theres much wrong with it.

but this did make me laugh.

[cpuwizard9225]

HA HA! Yes! I didn't know what the hell those little stars were used for anyways.

[d4m4s74]

as far as I know I have 0 subscribers

personally I only subscribe to stuff which have series (viralcom for example)

not to random users

why subscribe if someone asks you to do it?

subscribe for a reason

[Comzpletes]

Woot!

[BDotBoom]

You look so satisfied at the end lol

I love your rants ^_^

[KevinSlapProductions]

i dont think there is anything wrong with trying to get subscribers to get your channel up and going

[billythehick]

say what ya like about it, it works. any other suggestions to explain the continuing popularity of AtheneWins?

[Blunty3000]

Duh, because he whores out his slutty girlfriend for thumbnails.

[billythehick]

no, that explains the views, not the subs. even with videos as atrocious as his, the "subscribe if you like boobs!" note at the start actually works. take the rosharch approach, if people want to sink into the cultural mire, let the bastards sink.

[d4m4s74]

some people just like internet activism

(I prefer hacktivism, wanna ddos the athenewins website?)

[ChugaTheMonkey]

i rated subscribed and commented on ur video.

[NormaErendira]

Lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[shadling21]

i agree, partway. it's helpful to remind non-youtubers to rate, subscribe, and comment, because some of them don't even know you can do that. I KNOW. imagine being a non-youtuber. weird, huh?

[n00bm3ist3r]

I actually LOVE this video.

...desperate little whores...

[Rentiano]

Blunty! Calm! Eep...Don't hurt the bears...

[AndyMH182]

He's right, but this sounds like an attempt to get subscribers....

Whore....

[blackiechan547]

lol this dude is so so so right i agree with him 100%... i hate when ppl that do that " rate me" and shit like that.

[w00ty32]

what i hate even more is people who i have no clue who they are sending me a message saying to watch their new video.

I flame their A**es in a response.

[pheonx23]

HEY EVERYONE HERE SHOULD SUB ME EVEN THO I DUN MAK VIDEOZ 4 UTUBEZ

but Seriously, Great video, Loved the bears, and I loved the part in the middle where I got to see the ass.

[Briggy1701]

The Jay and Silent bear were awesome. :D

[RugbyPunk]

Bravo and cheers to Silent Bear. Nuganutch!

[trak888]

almost as bad as the dreaded 'sub4sub plz'

[Veetothejay]

Thanks for writing it for me :D

[rhsjb]

I agree totally and I also include people that feel the need to post rants.

[ComradeBilbo]

I just realized that Blunty3000 reminds me of Brian O'Halloran from Clerks 1 & 2.

[brodyvx]

I know someone who does that and although i wont mention any names he would probly find "desperate whore" a complament

[Triston635]

:L he reminds me of Dr.Evil for some wierd reason??

[bobfresco]

man u need to realize the world as a whole is pretty thick.

[dorkdude51]

I don't really care, but you also have like, 40,000 subscribers.

[stephenswickedcool]

you have 445 videos. shut up.

[killamenjarro]

by the smirk on your face it looked like a fart made you feel better

[SPFrobber]

I am a human, I have hair, I do not sleep

CLAPTON IS GOD

I am done

[Ictinike]

Speaking of desperate whores... have you seen hotforwords?

[KeijiMaeda86]

haha so true i see so many people doing that. I hardly ever do anything and usually its not worth to comment or subscribe to them.

[Texas93]

SXEPHIL

[Xzilhery]

I never subscribe or watch anyones videos that begs and reminds you to subscribe to them in the start of their videos, in the banners by the videos or in their channel, their always a bunch of little conceited attention whoring cunts. these are the kind of jack asses you see parading around your neighborhood doing something completely dumb just for somebody to look at them, typically nobody likes them; thus why they resort to attention whoring on the net.

[Atheist1717]

Also bad is people who pretend to post video because they think they'll get famous.

[rainysquirel]

idc about those... but I hate the sub4sub things.

[XsilverbladeX]

LMAO

[LareBearProductions]

Yeah, I agree with you 9000% Blunty. (Is 9000 actually a percent? Oh well.) I don't even try to watch the video if someone has a SUBSCRIBE banner next to their video. They're just idiots because someone took a piss in their Cheerios.

[Armageddan]

That was a beautiful smile at the end.

[EtcEtcAndEtc]

SSOOOOOOOOOOOO ANGRY!!!!!!!!!!!

[mamxx31000348]

you should rate and comment my video "i have no life without youtube"

:)

i love solid bear! even if he still has his tag on his ear :(

[tehtron]

I still think Tania could disappear from the clips. He'd still get the same views and maybe subcribers

[tehtron]

Blunty: I guess your pointing one of your many 5 fingers at Athena or AtheneWins :)

[imakevidzonrunescape]

lmao.

[Kruizinby]

Is using nudity type sexy pic's as a video icon kinda the same thing......? Just curious.

[GarethandSarah]

It kinda is, typically those people who tell you to subscribe either already have a large number of subscribers, and as a result of the more people who find you the less people there is left to find you thier subscription levels generally start to slow.

They also might have say, 30 subscribers and wonder why they have 2000 views. These people don't understand that people don't want to sunscribe for every video they watch.

And thats the magic of youtube :)

[Kruizinby]

Yeah sounds about right! I do understand what Blunty's saying here tho. Ppl that say sub4sub shit me too but the snapshot thing done intentionally bugs the hell outta me at times lol! Thanks tho mate, indeed the magic - or lack of - of YT ;D
