Hi WBJ, thanks for stopping by. I appreciate the offer, but I have to decline.
My experience on YouTube has taught me that "sub 4 sub" is not a good strategy for anyone.
Generally speaking, the people you find doing sub4sub have no interest in actually watching other people's videos, or building a community. They just want to increase their own number of subscribers.
And while this might seem like a good idea, subscribers who are not watching your content are not actually helping your channel. How could they be? If their growth strategy is to sub to anyone they encounter, they will have too many channels to watch them all.
So clearly "sub 4 sub" is not giving you a real fan base, not engaging with your content, and not helping in any way.
In the case of YouTube, these phoney subscribers actually make it less likely that people who actually do want to watch your content will get notified when you have new videos. So not only is it a waste of time, it's actually counter-productive. Now I'm too new to d.tube to know if the same principle applies here, but I do know this - if you want an engaged subscriber, you can't ask for it, they need to make the choice.
I hope that doesn't sound too harsh. But it's something I've thought a lot about, so I wanted to share my view.
Best of luck with your channel.
