    I've spent a decade on UA-cam, 6 as a content creator and the last 4+ working with brands like BMW & LEGO with this UA-cam SEO. I can tell you that real businesses and companies are beginning to understand the importance of UA-cam but do lack the knowledge of how to check if something is 'legit' or not. Roth 100% bought followers, likely as you mentioned... an ego thing or to stand out to the 'powers that be' in our industry. It's almost as hilarious as it is sad.

    Hello,
    I think we need to be careful when we say "buying subs". Buying subs is illegal, and youtube will terminate your channel, so I don't think anyone is buying subs. What I think is happening is that they are using the promotion feature that is within youtube to promote their videos in youtube studio. If so, there is absolutely nothing wrong with promoting your brand. These new subscribers subscribed because they must of enjoyed their content, and it's a good way to promote your channel under the youtube guidelines.
    No difference than a company promoting their brands, products, movies, etc... we are surrounded by advertisements, we live in a world of advertisements, and yet the sports card community seems to have a problem when one of them promotes its brand.
    I recommend sticking to what you do best and getting away from this toxic jealously that will only negatively impact all sports card channels, because real collectors which you seem to praise don't give a crap a out it.
    Sincerely,
    ODN1

    I called a watch dealer out on bought subs, views, and comments. Made a Reddit post on a sub the guy and his associates read daily. He had 475k views on average per video within 24 hours of release. Comments would reach around 2500. They gained 1k subs a week for a year consistently.
    After my post, his views dropped to 50k and less in 24 hours. He stopped releasing videos weekly for 3 months after the post. I posted the data, so people, including him, knew he was caught. Comments went to around 200 at most, and the majority of them were not favorable. His subcount dropped to 35 a week on top of it. He would go days without a single view of his long and short form. The algorithm took him off the suggested for long and short autoplay lists that quickly.
    He bought comments for giveaways to drown the callout comments from being seen. So, another post was made, and they turned on the fake Instagram comments. But they were the fake investment ones. They were deleted within 10 minutes of my post, and at least 75% of the comments for their last 10 posts went away. There is no way someone with 1500 followers gets 20k likes and 350 comments. The watch market is almost dead. It dropped faster than cards, and almost every model is at retail or below.

    Most of my subs are from short videos and at least 90% don't subscribe according to my analytics. I have only recently heard of buying subs, got accused of it, lol. Know nothing about it

      I am all for that, we need more diversity.
      It’s why you got an attribution because I piggybacked off it to cover the Keane example and go more in depth on sub to view ratio (I don’t recall you covering that)
