just an FYI, most people don't like being forced into hearing 14 year old kids talking into mics on xbox live, even less will voluntarily watch a video with those same voices in it.
It's so funny I forgot to laugh. Again, I hold my ground saying a "subscriber world" is not really a "subscriber world" when it's your friends playing on the server. Currently, I have over 2,000 people subscribed to me. That is more people than I will ever be able to name if I see them. A good reason I stopped my minecraft lets play is simple I wasn't having fun, and by that my viewers weren't entertained. Same thing here. Your first 15 seconds are the most important, especially for a channel of your size. If I don't find anything entertaining in the first 15 seconds, I'll close the video and probably never come back. Judging from the amount of views you have, that's pretty much the case. Choose your moments more carefully, or don't make a video for it at all. It's cool when you make "subscriber oriented videos", but you really aren't... You're making friend orientated videos. Why do I care about what your friends do, and your inside jokes? Yes, I'm bitter. But YouTube has gone down the shitter in terms of quality and community. I'm proud of what I do, but generally embarassed by the 98% of YouTube which is ****.
This was probably the most unjustified rant toward someone I've ever seen rofl. Not that it isn't true.
Mac, I think I have to agree with Bloo Jay on this one. You say it's a subscriber-oriented world, but you're focusing on your friends. Focus on your subscribers in a situation like this. You have potential, you just have to know what you're doing.
These guys are not friends of mine. This rant is just so stupid, if you don't agree don't comment. If you think you are on top of the world on YouTube your ****ing retarded! And just too let you know the only guy who is a friend is M4G1C SPREE. I asked him to help me, that's all. Your statistics are just so wrong. Once again, these aren't friends!
Welcome to YouTube. I'm on on the top of the world, but I do know what is good and what is not. Which statistic? The subscriber mark? Oh sorry, I have 2132 subscribers at the time of the post. Oh, you mean the other statistic shown through the article I linked? Please research and write your own article then.
I'm sorry Mac, but this is the internet, eventually someone is going to either not like what you have made or disagree with you. You don't need to throw a fit and/or get upset when that happens, being able to accept and understand criticism is a large part of making videos on youtube, or any form of art. You just have to understand that if one person dislikes it and actually voices that fact, there are bound to be others that feel the same way, and when you are so rigid to refuse to acknowledge their advice, you have lost potential subscribers and viewers. All Bloo did was point out flaws with the way you handled the video, and rightly so. He has more experience in doing these things than you do, he may not have as much experience as more known youtubers like Total Biscuit or Captain Sparkles, but he knows how to deal with things. TLDR; The internet will not always like what you make, but calm your **** and listen to them, they do bring up good points.
