Hey bros.
Few weeks ago I started making YouTube videos, showing off a few indie games and such. I am not here to advertise myself, although the title may make you think like it. Before you start wondering why am I coming here from, apparently, nowhere making a post in this community, I will let you know that I watch "Pudi" since he had 2 million subscribers, so I`m not a bot, I just don`t like interacting too much with his fanbase knowing most of them are little whiney angry fan-kids that make Pudi look bad.
Anyway, the reason I am here is to ask other "YouTubers" a question about when they were also starting: Did you advertised yourself widely? I mean posting on your Facebook wall, on twitter, gaming communities, other channels etc. The reason why I`m asking this is because I have only shown my channel personally to a few close friends, but the first time I openly shared one of my videos on my Facebook wall, a few dislikes popped up.
So that`s why I`m asking. Did this disliking behaviour happened to you too when you first started out and were sharing your videos with a larger public? I`m assuming most of them are haters/trolls but I wanted to know if this is an usual tendacy when you first start putting your videos out there on YouTube.
It doesn`t really bother me too much but it makes me wonder what really determined them to dislike, did they really not like my videos? I mean I`m having fun recording and getting ideas for editing but it just makes me wonder if I should pay attention to dislikes or they are just haters I should ignore.
So yeah, opinions?
P.S: You are now probably wondering what my videos look like since I`m asking questions like these. The reason I`m not posting a link to my channel is because I don`t really want people to subscribe to me just because "poor guy, let me subscribe so he will feel better" and not even watch/enoy the videos I do, or "let me dislike too because I`m evil". Anyone who has put a single video out there and got a "random sub" knows too well how awesome it feels compared to when you ask people to subscribe, so if you really want to see my channel mention it and I will send you a simple link to it and from there on it`s up to you.
