I've never paid this no mind but I've seen some youtubers start out with just stupid funny videos to appeal to a certain demo and then they start spreading a message, an agenda.

I might be too :myman: right now but I was wondering how these no name people get a million subs lol

:dahell:Conspiracy theories abound. Nah. You online long enough, you can put messages out there for your followers.

People do that. You outgrow pure fukkery and spit things you feel are important.

How are you defining no name though?

Cause a lot had to work to gain their followings, and at best someone can get a shoutout from an established youtuber. But I don't know many cases of people starting with numerous viewers from jump unless they were already somewhat famous.

How about all those annoying gaymer channels with millions of subs. I think most of their subscribers are between the ages of 5-15.:shaq2:

Chris Smoove was like that. He was a normal dude who criticized the game during 2K9 then he became the gimmick uploader he is today around 2K11. Same with a dude who plays FIFA named KSI. He just bought a multi million dollar house in London a couple years back.

I wanna know more about the process.

It's perfectly acceptable to believe that someone starts making videos on some BS and then later on they wanna kick political/societal knowledge, I get that. But I still wanna know how they up their followings. :manny:

Breh, I kick myself so hard for missing out on this shyt, cause when the wave started in 07-08, I was just graduating highschool and entering college and stayed recording myself playing video games. Never knew shyt would blow up like this.

Tags and good thumbnails.

I used to kick it with this white girl a couple years ago all the time. Stopped talking to her for awhile but saw she had a Youtube channel via social media.. saw her start from like 400 followers last year to almost 300,000 now just organically :wow:

It's all about having the right gimmick. Like @Wheresmypassport mentioned, Chris Smoove has the gimmick of the cool slang talking black dude that white folks can admire and look forward to watching videos. QJB and others happen to be very good at sports games, and gain followers just from being charismatic commentators while playing very good basketball in 2K or killing people online in Madden.

Just got to find something that gains attention, cause if its good, it will spread. We just had a nikka get 1 mil views in a week singing about some Patti Labelle pies. Now he can be smart and make this a gimmick reviewing food while singing and shyt.

I don't know how they get those massive followings. My youtube channel is at 9 subscribers currently (May Allah bless it). Most people chase after stuff that's a waste of time to watch to begin with.

She does "story-time" videos just crazy shyt from her life mostly. I was involved in her most famous one so it's kind of funny I can verify it :mjlol:

The rest is just like random white-girl "mall haul" and "what's in my purse", shyt like that :yeshrug:

She has like rabid fans now mayne. Her fan pages have as many followers as me on the gram requesting to follow me cause she follows me :skip:

Exactly. Like how I was saying. Most people just watch videos with no benefit and just plain harm. Like rats or pigs attracted to filth. There are some positive Youtube channels though.
