I never quite understood the sub for sub deal. Wouldent you feel more satisfaction in your subscribers knowing that they subbed you because they genuinely enjoy watching your videos?

Not saying I think sub4sub is wrong people can do whatever they want, but to me if someone has 300 subs and all of their videos have like 75 views as opposed to somone who say has 75 and their videos have you know 50-60 views a piece would feel more satisfaction in their videos...idk what do you guys think?

i dont make videos sadly but i really do see where you are coming from,

im sure it would feel good for a while but eventually the novelty will wear off and it will defeat the whole perpose of your fan base and seeing you are doing a good job for your viewers,

at least you sleep at night knowing all your subscribers done so because they enjoy your videos and what you try to achieve in life

Well I would imagine the sub:view ratio is most important. If your videos have 10,000 views but you have 200 subs you might be doing something wrong lol.

Yeah, sub 4 sub is annoying. I mean there is a diffrence between someone saying...

"d00d wut u wating 4 go 2 muah channal and sub 4 sub skdjfskldjf ;p;lol"

and then

"Hey, I was wondering if you had time could check out my channel?"

Srsly, people need to learn to do the latter...

Yeah, I don't understand it at all either. If you want people to like your videos and watch them why would you sub for sub.

I think more, earned subscribers are better. ;) But I agree, I never really liked Sub4Sub much, but I did it a couple times when I had a low amount of subscribers and wanted to get more people interested in my videos.

Sub for sub is stupid. Its like trying to rack up friends on Myspace or Facebook. Its just to look cool. Its more flash than substance.

I agree with everyone else. I would never subscribe to someone for a promise that they would subscribe back. If you make your videos interesting you won't have any problems getting subscribers. I get several per week, which is perfectly fine with me. And then you have Pete who gets like 100 in a day. <_<

I agree. I would like to have people sub to me, but only because they really enjoy my vids not because they feel obligated to because i ask them. I will gladely send people my vid in a response so they can choose to watch or not. If they like what they see then they can sub and i will have more satisfaction in that. Nobodys in a race to get most subs or anything.

i don't post vids, but i think sub4sub is just kinda desperate.. I'd rather have more views than subs.

I'd rather have people who subscribe to me because they like my videos, the same way that I subscribe to people who's videos I like. I make videos because it is a hobby of mines, while it's nice to have subscribers I get a kick out of making the videos and letting my real life friends see them (however I wouldn't say no to more subscribers)
people say video games are bad for you, they also say rock n roll is bad for you ...... people sure do say stupid things
speaking of rock n roll and video games check out my youtube channel where you will find very little of either but a lot of award wining comedy http://www.youtube.com/welcometomydomain

I have 23 subscribers, have only been on YouTube for about a month, and have NEVER understood the Sub4Sub thing. I'm happy knowing that the people who are subbed to me are doing it because they actually want to hear/watch what I have to say.

In my opinion, subforsub is kinda like "Oh I have more subscribers, therefore I'm better than you" type deal. It gives people Some sort of Internet Win to see that they have more subscribers than others.
