yeah I have seen FAR too many youtube threads that are weeks old and the OP has it as their only post

I'm 13 and I'm offended. lol jokes.

IMO, I really don't think age matters. As long as they aren't some inmature kid trying to act cool and stuff :p. I completely disagree on the age part, but the rest I agree.

LOL. I only did it once, I don't "spam," but I know what you mean.

Well I did advertise my youtube channel and din't make my account to spam my channel.And this is a bit ironic don't you think?considering my age (11) and I don't spam my channel all around the forum.

He is not saying that a specific person is doing it over and over. The new replies and thread box among with shoutbox and signatures are full off own channel advertisement. And I fully agree. People have all rights to show off their channels, but this is constantly going on and on, people are getting tired of it. No hard feelings, but I doubt anybody is interested in your channel.

i have it in my signature but not put it anywhere else

Remember, its a great difference between a youtube CHANNEL and a youtube VIDEO.

ok smartass , how about a youtube video uploaded ON "my" channel :V lol

Still being like OMFGROFL SEE THIS HOW FUNNEH

*posted video with him playing shitnesia XD*

It shouldn't bother you what people post. If they think it will help them let them do it, it has no harm on you at all.

Unfortunately some people have the self-motivation to try and make something of their hobbies, otherwise what's the point in making a youtube channel if you don't want to entertain and reach as many people as you possibly can? Obviously many will fail, myself included probably, but what would be the point in even making videos if I didn't try to make something of them?

Saying you have a channel and you 'know you'll never be a star' says more about your motivation than anybody elses. Some people believe that they can entertain people and get a simple thrill out of doing that - why should that bother you? If you see a topic directing you to another youtube channel, then just don't click it. It's pretty simple really.

The majority of new users posting their channels here are just 11-15 yr old kids, just give them a break or ignore them, don't be so hostile towards them otherwise they won't stick around at all.

Heh... this here kind of sums up my opinions on the whole YouTube thing. I mean, sure, if people really don't want to see it in the thread feed, then probably it should be made so that these threads don't get updated into said feed. It's honestly not that significant to have in there. At least, not from my point of view. :U

However, not a lot of people make their channels to get 'insta-famous', and no one should go into doing what they do, expecting to become well known or 'famous' because of it. It's a surefire way to have people set themselves up for disappointment because what they're doing isn't living up to their expectations or wants after days, weeks, or even months of doing what it is they're doing. I mean... people like Pewdie, Toby, Brad, Cry, and a lot of other people that are out there on YouTube probably honestly never expected that they would have been where they were today when they first started out -- they were simply doing things that they found enjoyment in and... well, they had at it and persisted.

Some of these people that are doing these things may find the same kind of enjoyment of what they're doing and merely wish to share with people. There's a lot of people on these forums that seem nice (at least everyone I've seen on here that have helped me out when I asked for suggestions for my new computer, or even when I just read up on threads), and if there are people on here that support that person that posted their channel and what it is they do, then it's generally in one's nature to go back to update those people on what new things they are doing because that's where they know they get support. o: People like getting pet and complimented rather than bitten and abused.

So long as people are having fun with it and like what they do, I don't see why they should be brought down by people that 'find it annoying'. :U I admire those that persist and continue what it is they like doing, and don't get brought down by petty thoughts and ideas others have, or even brought down by those that go out of their way to insult them.
