According to Wikipedia:
"Spam is the use of electronic messaging systems (including most broadcast media, digital delivery systems) to send unsolicited bulk messages indiscriminately. While the most widely recognized form of spam is e-mail spam, the term is applied to similar abuses in other media: instant messaging spam, Usenet newsgroup spam, Web search engine spam, spam in blogs, wiki spam, online classified ads spam, mobile phone messaging spam, Internet forum spam, junk fax transmissions, social networking spam, television advertising and file sharing network spam.

Spamming remains economically viable because advertisers have no operating costs beyond the management of their mailing lists, and it is difficult to hold senders accountable for their mass mailings. Because the barrier to entry is so low, spammers are numerous, and the volume of unsolicited mail has become very high. The costs, such as lost productivity and fraud, are borne by the public and by Internet service providers, which have been forced to add extra capacity to cope with the deluge. Spamming has been the subject of legislation in many jurisdictions. People who create electronic spam are called spammers." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spam_(electronic)

Does anyone else think there is a pause at 0:35?

"But then you click on his channel, and he only has 11 subscribers. And you know what, when I *pause* clicked on this the first time, he only had 3."

@anticorncob6 Just a pause, nothing special :D

@IanEduardoMeneses Yeah, thats the worse. Before I ever uploaded videos I use to get that too! LOL

I've been getting these messages a lot lately and it's getting really annoying. Youtube needs to do something about it.

@EpicNoobBoyTV It reminds you of a pest or a bluebottle that won't go away. Or a lavatory that keeps blocking. I'm sick of it. Eventually they give up.
