Besides, why does it have to be a YouTube giveaway? Why couldn't you just make a thread about it?

I don't particularly like Youtube giveaways, but Retro had done one in the past that I participated in. Of course, the odds were against me and I lost. But I eventually stuck around, and I saw lots of his vids. I enjoyed them, so I stayed and watched most of his content.

Now, I really don't want to take a side on whether a Youtube Giveaway is good or bad. It's been a positive influence on me, since I've found a new youtuber that I watch. In the same way, Retro has benefited by gaining a new fan.

You could say that it's cheap, and that is arguably correct. But in the end, it brought about a positive influence on the world, (people gaining a new youtuber that they watch, there must be more than just me), so I think there's more good done.



Mini-Rant over. :p Have a nice day!

Chill dude, I never said you were bad... ._. I'm just saying that subscribers that come from a giveaway might not be dedicated to watching your video. That's why your subscriber to view ratio might be bad.
Listen to this man dangit.
By 'cheap', I didn't mean monetary value. I meant morally.
So I want to just make a point. I'm using this to gain popularity for my channel. In a way, you can view this as like trial for the clan! I use this as a magnet or attraction for my channel, and if people like it, they stay subscribed, if they don't, they unsubscribe. So what's wrong with that? And how am I buying subscribers?...

The winner is going to be announced in nearly two months from now. Do you think people'll remember to unsubscibe that far from now? You're pretty much "buying" subscribers for a temporary time.
Besides, this could have been just fine had it been a forums giveaway.

Well, if it was a forums giveaway, I wouldn't really gain from this. And let's face it. That's one of my main intentions. You can't blame me.

Alright, well if that was your intention.....
Just note that people don't make giveaways to gain from them, that's not really the point of giving something away. The gain that you're supposed to get is the feeling of contentment seeing someone ecstatic over winning, and them enjoying their platinum donor.... But I guess we all have different intentions these days...

I said that's one of my main intentions. Of course I do want to giveaway, and there also another few reasons why I'm doing this. I don't know why you're like kinda assuming I'm a bad person (this is what your replies are implying).

Well, since personal gain is one of your intentions in a GIVEAWAY, yes, I do imply that.
Anyway, do what you want. I'm out.

Kid we never called you a bad person, or we never said you bought your subs. We are just saying that doing a giveaway might not get you subscribers that will be dedicated to your channel and watch all your videos. Do you understand now, or need I say more?

You know it's fake when the person giving it away isn't a donor.
