NEVER Ask for a YouTube Shout-Out
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 чер 2024
- In UA-cam culture there are few terms as well known as a "shout out"; when a bigger creator calls on their audience to grow a smaller one. While hypothetically, it's not a bad concept. In practice, it can actually cause the opposite effects. This video is an overview and look at shoutouts, and why you probably shouldn't ever ask for one.

As the MrBeast meme, this really spoke to me. I've been trying to escape this fake engagement for months.
welcome to your final test
im mrbeast
we can scrap the S cuz i've never missed a beat (Also, thanks for referencing the actual song, and not the repetitive/slightly overrated Attack Of The Killer Queen remix)
whattttttttt
@@Flameonoodle You had to cut from honey under threat of a gun blast, but when I get a cut from honey, that's another check that I'm gonna cash
I think there's been a total of two shoutouts that actually made a youtuber grow non artificially
Jse one of them?
@WatchDog-J I don't know if you made a spelling mistake but I have no clue who that is I was referring to zealous and davie504 I just realized jse is jacksepticeye but he said his shoutout gave him 15k subs and then it stopped
no
@@daveminecraft69420 do you have any proof otherwise
@@notveryultraguy kill
Shoutouts should be natural. "I worked with this person so heres a shout out" or "I found this great channel covering this so heres a shout-out"
It should never be forced
You're right.
Very true
I think so far the ONLY time a shout-out has done good for a UA-camr is Jacksepticeye. He originally won a shout-out from one of PewDiePie's videos, and that's what got the ball rolling for him, leading him to be in what we consider the 3 best-known gaming UA-camrs alongside PewDiePie & Markiplier. But yeah, never in my life would I think that Shout-Outs would actually be bad for a UA-camr, and this video is really well-done.
I think the difference is the PewDiePie shout out was to 10 different people on a video with only 6 million views while the Mr Beast rewind shout outs went to 3 people and got 20 Million. You can only have a shout out carry you so far until you have to make something you're known for yourself, and if that never happens then it leads to the cases here.
They also shared a very similar style of content, so viewers probably liked Sean.
It's just satisfying watching you go on about random things
THAZ VERY TRU
LOL
I love that I can make videos on random shit I find interesting and people will still watch!
@@T3rr0r626 hi
@@T3rr0r626 *HEY T3R0R CAAN i GET SHOUTOUT PLEEEEAAAASSSEEE* 😃😄🙏🏻🙏🤳👀👁👁👅👄🧒💯💯💣💥👌🐒🐵🗿🗿🗿💀☠️👨🎤🦸♂️™️📸🖨🔱🚩🧨🎆🎉🎊🥏🪆🪅🌍🌎🎢🎠🥑
T3RROR, i must say one thing, HOLY SHIT IS YOUR EDITING GOOD, hearing you ramble about random stuff is just more satisfying than watching someone else do it
And to think he manages to release one video a week!
DONT FUCKING CURSE BASTARD
And his editing is pretty good imo, none of those (obnoxious edits = funny) ones.
What does he use to edit
Yeah, it's supposed to be boring, but it's not.
This is exactly the video that smaller content creators need to watch. There are no shortcuts to success on any platform in general as it's all about patience and once you have it, you can easily succeed!
eh, if you do collabs pretty regularly, id call that an easy shortcut to success.
@@Green_Bean_Machine no cap
@@Green_Bean_Machine I completely agree. However, unless you are collaborating with a massive youtuber, I wouldn't call it a shortcut since it still does take some time.
Lies
@@Nairobin ok
Jacksepticeye grew with the help of pewdiepie's shoutout. It just happens that they're similar but different enough to make people like felix and sean's individual styles.
That's a very good catch, I actually forgot who the shoutout from Pewdiepie was towards but I know their are good examples of shout outs.
Honestly video game shout outs tend to work better because they are all in the same space already so its easier for fans to attach to new people.
This guy could talk about anything and I would watch it
Like emplemon, he has similar videos, and music sources, and editing
your editing is the perfect mix of silly, goofy and serious, genuine advice and i love it
You are genuinely one of the best content creators on the face of this planet. And I don't know why, is it the editing, the voice, the topics, the way you explain and dissect said topics? There's just something, an aura that emits out of these videos that I genuinely enjoy.
I think that UA-cam shout outs definitely hurt the channel more than anything else to be honest. After you get a shout out from those big UA-camrs you are only known for the rest of your time on the platform as "the guy that got a shoutout on that one UA-cam channel" and that becomes an issue when you want to do something that actually means something to you and when you go out to publish it, people wont see what you did, they will only see that you were made public by some big youtuber, it's unfortunate really for a lot of people who have gotten shout outs from big youtubers and have done some cool stuff but in the end people will only know you as "the one guy who was featured on that one big channel" which is terrible. Overall, good video t3rr0r and I can't wait to see what you upload next.
I mean they're like sponsors that you get, they're expecting something after you put so much effort to make that advertisement for yourself. It's not just numbers on screen, it's people who flocks into your channel to see your content.
Man terror you just gave me mad nostalgia when you used the papaya song in the background at 3:28, it may not be very significant to you westerners since it only appeared once on GMA 15 years ago but that song was very popular here in the Philippines.
I am blown away when I get reminded that T3RROR is still young because his videos are just poetic in a way and are great!
how old is he tho
@@Cloaker86I think he talked about it on his second channel
@@kite300 wait he has a second channel
T3rror: shoutouts are bad
Also t3rror: my friend has a channel, here's its name
T3rr0r, thank you for making this kind of content, as a small creator who is moving towards graphic design and short films, your content is a great way to use up my breaks, thank you
Yo T3rr0r, I just wanna say that I've been viewing your content and have been a fan since you had 1k subs. And every time you released a video, I would check up on your subs. It was amazing seeing every video you would go from 3k to 10k, seeing you gradually gain subs every video just amazed me. Race with Ryan really got me laughing. The success that you have had on this channel is amazing T3rr0r, I hope you keep growing.
I'm actually glad I found Sournale UA-cam channel, his videos style is almost similar how UA-cam contents looks like a few years back, straight to the point gaming trivia contents with some essay, not to mention his editing kept improving time to time
So true, the journey is not easy at all. Like the way you round your sentences at the end.
5:15, I hearing hfjone music felt like it game me whiplash, it's nice to see ONE is still living on, even in minor ways
You know, I've been think about becoming a UA-camr, but this video just shows how there is no easy way to success and how I must be patient to becoming a youtuber. Thank you T3rr0r, even if this will take time, I want to make a impact and serve importance to society. It also shows that when I become a youtuber I will be new to things and will have lots to learn.
Please keep up the good work!
Keep experimenting dude ^^
5:13 Unrelated but that ONE music caught me off guard, never knew you were a fan of Object Shows!
IKR
since i have started one of your vids i have become completely addicted to them keep up the amazing work i especially love your mobile videos
finally glad to see more and more people noticing that a shoutout is wayyy worse than hard work and effort
They also became somewhat of friends from the shoutouts. But the time zones did make it hard for them.
My man, you are inspiring.
I myself am wanting to cautiously take that first step into making content on UA-cam. I'm in a need of a creative output myself, but I've got priorities to keep true with. So maybe one day.
But your insights so far in the UA-cam creation process have been a fresh air. Seeing you start with oddball games, to t3rroz toyz reviewz, and suddenly bringing out bangers like 'Evil Supermen' and other quality-oriented hits while covering the usual is nothing short of inspiring. It's time we start bringing in the Quality Bangers than going for the usual braindead content the UA-cam Algorithm pushes.
Congrats on your 300k, and all success you get from here, is truly yours, with no need of a shoutout. Cheers, t3rror. Maybe someday when I'll be on the Tubes of You, and I'll have you to thank for being an inspiration for bringing in quality content, as tough as it can get. Keep it up, man!
I can't believe you used the ONE ost that's so cool!!!!!!! Also this is such a good video!
Really great job man your accomplishments are well deserved and earned I hope you have a great day today and stay safe :) 💯
*Fallen Down from Undertale starts playing*
Hey t3rr0r, nice editing. It seems to get better from each video.
T3rr0r's content just gits better and better good job to you👍
5:13 HOLY SHIT HE USED THE ONE OST OH MY GOD THE TRAUMA IS FLOWING BACK
I got a few "shoutouts" on UA-cam, which just made the people in the comments sometimes mention me but not even by my name but by saying something about the thing that I commented
dude the t3rr0r lore expands with sournale
This reminds me of a pvz2 channel (the "lvl 130 peashooter vs 2300 lvl 10 gigagargantuars" type) where halfway through the video there will be 30 seconds dedicated to giving people shoutouts. They
probably do this to boost their comments but you can feel the 10 year olds praying that they get a shoutout by their favourite souless faceless voiceless youtuber, and sadly they are probably never getting it
I like that he talks about games, doeas cool documentaries about the internet, games, etc. And has some humour and everything. You deserve more subs❤❤❤
Nice video. Your audience is loyal because you got it through your own content
I think collabs are better in every way than shout outs
How is editing so good dude,you are a single man
I'm finding it difficult to learn what i can make that people enjoy. Since I don't live alone, and the difficulties of coming up with ideas rises, I've just distanced myself from video making to focus on other things i like. Such as casually playing games, game development, and pixel art. I never expected my first videos ideas to do too well considering "no-commentary" game play throughs are low effort. I've come to learn more about editing so hopefully my ideas for the next videos I have in store will do alright. (Just gameplay videos with effort put into editing)
Your videos are entertaining, so I must learn a thing or two from watching your channel grow. Have a Good One!
A shout-out only works if you have the same type of content as the person you asked to give you a shout-out. 👍
Not really, you need to make engaging content to retain those numbers that you get from shout-out. It requires a lot of effort tho.
I've gotten most of my subs so far through making fan videos for a Czech streamer and a problem I've faced with content creation: The "goal" is to make videos other people will watch, which I did, clearly the videos were watched by plenty of people, all mostly from the same group, but after just 5 videos of this type, it got stale, I wanna make something new and different but not disappoint the people subscribed for the usual content. So what would you suggest?
You're stuck as a "VODs fan edits channel" with Czech audience which is very niche, you can continue that way and do consistant uploads to not fall into obscurity.
However, if you wish to make a different type of video that you would actually put efforts to make in that channel, then just step out and start doing it. Move the stream edits video on a second channel or perhaps stream yourself and put your stream edits in there too.
@@GimOA An intresting outlook, not quite far where I seem to be going with the channel, conciously and sub-conciously, I did try to stream actually, one time on this channel, and many times in the past, but I just can't do the live improvized... anything, that is pretty vital to making a stream entertaining. I think I'll likely move the edits, as I was considering that and make this channel more various.
Almost at 300k! Keep up the good work!
honestly I this is so inspiring especially when you mentioned sournale. this makes me want to start making videos.
You know I agree with everything this video discloses and you couldn't be any more right. Anyways can I have a shout-out please.

good video editing and nice thoughts put in,easy sub
I’m gonna be honest, watching a documentary about something on Netflix is much less entertaining than watching T3rr0r talk about some controversy
this is basically a extra shoutout to the channels that he mentioned
naw
I love you're content i hope it continues for year's
Thx for the good info that will help me
Oh crap, I just shoutouted a random person for giving an idea for the video
You look like a good channel, am going to subscribe
@@calokifilm6392 what do you mean

@@RandomBloonStuff if you mean about me subscribing to you, then yes, I did
@@bottlerofgames Didn't except that someone would do that after me commenting a thing.
blud played HFJONE music (respect I love ONE)
agree
This is easily one of your best videos
The way that the "sudden spike in views to following downfall" (5:14) was something I could absolutely consider as being flawless, because I have first-hand experience. I posted such lazy content which was just unedited, raw footage of me playing Roblox's Tower Defense Simulator and these would drag on for, at the very least, 20 minutes. Somehow I had found success over the short-term and for whatever reason got half of a million views off of this stuff. As you said, my channel very shortly died as a result of this video. I seriously have no clue *why* this happened nor *how* this got me famous but I don't want to try again with another channel knowing damn well this could happen again and *why* it could lead to a second downfall. Really got me to understand further beyond "my content was boring and effortless" to why my channel died and I could thank you for that. Genuinely informative video

for some reason I always listen to your videos while doing random things
Excellent form and deviation from your regular upload menu, this will def bring in more subs lol
Now I don't know if this is a coincidence or not, but another youtuber with around 2k subs, named Ruru, covered this exact topic 4 days ago as of the 19th of June. Now I don't wanna jump to accusations, but this is odd.
That video actually came out as I was finishing this one up, had the idea to make this video months ago.
It takes longer than 4 days to create a video like this
@@T3rr0r626 Oh, alright. Again, didn't see you as the kid of person that would do that. Just wanted clarification 😅
@@laurarose6829 That, among with the fact that he doesn't seem the type to do that kind of thing is why I didn't jump to accusations. If it was a more sketchy person then I would've called them out, but T3rr0r isn't that kind of person. Just found it odd, as I didn't see many people talk about this, and the 4-day difference made it look odd. Happy that that wasn't the case, as I like his content and respect the work that goes into the videos.
@@UnscriptedIsInUse agreed
You're like SunnyV2 but it feels like the videos are produced by actual humans
Let’s agree to agree
Happy 300k subs!!!
for real this is different for other communities such as music you may need to expand who you work with or pay people for feats but that's creating content together
People who looked in the comments to look for someone who asked for a shoutout
👇
never speak again
yo can you give me shout out
hello cooper
I’ll give you a shoutout
Haha Cooper funny copper man.
@@nope55666 you are the reason I quit UA-cam
I'm glad that I never got popular in my early days of starting UA-cam, it would of ruined me and probably given me a really bad ego. So learning over time to get good at making content and earning subscribers in a genuine way that took many years humble me for the better. These days I'm not too worried in being popular anymore and just upload whenever I feel like it ether my main or second channel, or just working on other side projects outside of UA-cam.
Zealous got like a million subscribers in the MrBeast video. Now he has 3.87 Million. But the thing is that the other competitor in that video got even more subscribers and he is called Isaiah Photo. He has around 8 million subscribers last time I checked, and what I would say is successful.
In conclusion, get a shout-out only if your content is similar with the person you're getting the shout-out from, very cool 👍
Or don t
damn this video was helpful, thanks.
anyway can I have a shoutout?
oh yeah I got a thing called exposure once from a fortnite creator he made a video about 4 contestants creating editing maps for him to try out and his video was very successful right now the video has 7.1M views. because of a new rarely seen glitch used in the map I made for the youtuber. many of these people did not have a creator code yet which allowed people to play their own map without being in the same party/lobby. you need utmost 1,000k subscribers to become applicable to apply. I posted raw footage of him playing through my map a few minutes after his video released which now has 1.7M views. when I gained exposure/shoutout my channel had 335 subscribers and at my channels peak 21.9k subscribers and now I'm sitting around 20.8k.
5:13
ONE fans: *WHO SUMMONED ME*
Good luck with getting a shout out man, it ain't worth it. Agreed 100% with terrorism.
Top tier terrorism
yeah thats cool and all but can i get a shout out
Nice using the ONE OST I realised when I was watching not checking but yeah the music is at 5:16 nice taste in music t3rr0r! And also the music name is A smallest
I remember watching your channel when you had a few hundred subs then I year or two later I saw your video about that movie pixels not knowing it was you so I looked at the channel and recognized it was you with 100k subs anyways your a amazing UA-camr keep it going
Give me a shoutout or I’ll pull out my skin off. 🙂
Can I get a shout out? Plz
I was taking notes the whole time
I totally agree but there is still something that your forgot, if the channel that gives a shout-out is big then the probability of you gaining subs only to lose them is bigger, but still a very nice video (P.S i like that you and sournale talk about things that seem like they can help your channel grow but they are actually just an illusion, i dont mean hate i just like both of ur vids, sorry if that didnt make any sense)
Great video, can I have a shout out?
Joke
can i get a shoutout plz
This proves that I will watch anything that t3rr0r makes
I am a content creator with two channels and even tho they are not successful I try to get progress each time I make a new video and sure it's boring in the process because of the improvements but in the end it's actually cool to see how many people are interested in what you create
no
can i get a shout-out
Making your own thing is a very important thing to keep in mind.
yep
I feel like if you get a shoutout, the larger channel should specifically say “if you like there content then subscribe” so they only get subs that will stick around
Subscribing to shout out channels almost always just ends in looking at the subscribed channels and going "who the hell is that?", un-subscribing, and continuing scrolling.
Most of the times the content isn't even good
As someone who's experienced a sudden popularity spike on my channel, it was both great and miserable. The feeling of whatever hit you get can feel great, but it is indeed a lot to handle. For me personally, I don't have enough interest or personal time to dedicate to regular content of what people want. It's the feeling of something you forgot to do being a day away from a deadline, and can put stress and pressure to maintain that popularity, else let if slip out of your hands.
The drop after the spike is the worst part, especially on a mental level. It is seriously demotivating seeing videos suddenly drop in popularity, and at times makes what you're doing feel worthless and makes you feel like you aren't trying hard enough. I don't feel this way so strongly anymore personally since I've let myself let go of the expectations I put on myself when I got a sudden increase in popularity, but it can still be somewhat discouraging from time to time, seeing how poorly your channel is doing compared to that one big hit.
I don't really have a conclusion for this, but I agree with what you have to say about not wanting shout-outs. Sudden, but temporary fame truly can be one of the best things, but it definitely can be one of the worst things to happen to a UA-cam channel. After all, most of the people who come from whatever content or channel that gets you that boost, won't want anything else but the content that brought them there in the first place, and if you're not careful or unlucky whatever it is you want to make won't be what 90% of your audience wanted to see.
shoutout to t3rr0r 🔥
I never thought shoutouts as something that would either help or hurt someones youtube career,i always thought of them as just saying some persons name to give them a ego boost but not the afteraffects
Same here
in my country, a pretty succesfull channel with almost 1 million subscriber took a shout out back in the days. It was somewhere in 2016 or so. However, this thing didn't manifest at all as the first 3 exhibits, even if he's a channel based on informations (and on tops in 2016), and the guy who shout out him was a Minecraft gamer
No way he just used ONE ost in the video, he is truly a hfjone fan.
Fr
I thought I was the only one who noticed
5:30 HOLY SHIT HFJONE TRACK SPOTTED!?!!!?!?
UR USING THE BULLY SOUNDTRACK LETS GOO
a Hfjone song is playing in the background, no way!!!!
I accidentally pressed subscribe, but this vid is so good that I kept it.
T3rr0r, This truly inspired me to edit better for me and my friends channel since only now I realized how UA-cam works now too and only recently gotten some good amount of views from my thumbnails, titles and editing. It goes to show that I need to make higher quality and consistent videos.
The Shoutout dilemma is actually, as I imagine, very similar to Spamton's story. It goes something like this:
"He was a barely successful Addison, with his sales being mostly void. He desperately needs help to boost his sales and potentially become the most successful Addison ever. One day, he got a call from someone. That person is anonymous, but whoever he is, he seems to be helping him. His sales gone up to millions of kromer. The other Addisons were so jealous of his success that they ditched him. But suddenly, that person who was helping him, left. His sales crumbled to zero, and the day he was to be evicted from the Queen's Mansion, he was nowhere to be found."
A good example would be: you want to run a company.
The most natural way is to start off small and gradually learn and gain new knowledge and skills along the way until you've hit your peak.
A shoutout would be equivalent to someone just flat out selling you an already existing company for you to rebrand right from the get-go. On the contrary, you'll quickly realize that your lack of knowledge and skills of running a company would consequently lead your said company getting shut down. Because you didn't had time to learn how to properly manage and grow, it caused you to be tremendously overwhelmed.
This is why it's better to go slow and steady instead of taking it all in at once.
Yeah, people often fails to think that you need to sell the same exact product to mimic ther success.
But no, you can replicate those success even with a different approach. They just took the easy way to profit and forget about it instead of actually learns from experimenting their own way.
