Why is sub4sub still a thing?

[Jac Morton]

Everything I have read, watched and mentally digest has said sub4sub is a Youtube disease.

So why are so many channels exposing themselves to it?

No one seems to be getting famous off it, what's the appeal?

I don't know either. I can't really say anything else I think it's because it brings your sub count higher, that's it. It's for small, naive channels that care about numbers, quantity over quality. It's useless anyway and inexcusable in my opinion.

 

[Olivea Sea]

It comes in waves it's coming again right now!

 

[LtGeneralStore]

Well the people that do it don't pay attention.

These are the people that thinks an increase in numbers is a good thing and don't know the true meaning of it. Hence, even if their stupidity meters go up, they still think it's a good thing.

Surly though it's more depressing to have hundreds of subs and no views.

I guess the guys who do it, sell the idea pretty hard.

I suppose, it might be a seasonal thing.

After Christmas when kids get there new "youtube" cameras lol

Very true, they will never learn or get anywhere on Youtube.

There are some daft people on youtube.

I think most people learn it from others that do it to them, and often it's young Youtubers that have just started and don't know any better. If 1 person asks 100 others to sub4sub there is a good chance that 5-10 will then do the same and it just grows from there.

If that's what they think the culture of Youtube is they must be very disappointed with their channels.

 

[Gods of Odds]

It's people who are very stupid or who that maybe don't really know why it is bad for some reason.

People are uninformed. And there are a lot of uninformed people out there.

I had a real conversation about this with one of my friends actually. They don't do youtube stuff so they asked me why I don't do that and I told them why and they were confused.

People think subscribers means how good their channel is or something

 

[Showcase One]

Because people think faking subs is going to make them famous and they think you should have more subs than views. And finally they don't understand YouTube.

 

[M&Mnz]

It makes them look good

It makes them look good

It actually doesn't because they may have a decent sub count but a bad view count.

Some people simply like the number.

I can get why people when starting out don't understand, I didn't at first but all the resources tell you it's a bad thing to do.

I'm not sure they have an excuse.
