Do you think that being further back in the Shoutout Comp gives you a smaller chance of winning?

Do you guys think that the posts without spoiler tags will be ignored then? That would be a massive chunk of people out already! I didn't know how to do spoiler tags and kept messing it up, but I eventually got it right - thank goodness I persevered if this is the case!

That basically means, if you did not follow ALL the rules including the 500 subs thing, your submission is basically out.
I can understand, because a lot of people didn't even read the rules and just posted their stuff on there. Maybe there might be some exemptions to the rule, but I can't say, because I am not the one who will be watching all the entries.

But even the posts where people forgot, or didn't know how to make a spoiler, would probably also be weeded out. I'm glad that you did succeed in putting the spoiler tag in it, otherwise it would've been really be nasty But I hope this answers your question

One post per submission. Multiple submissions will be deleted. Please use this thread only to post submissions.

If you post more than one submission your posts will be deleted and you will be disqualified for the shoutout contest.

Your submission still needs to follow the forum's guidelines. Mature content will be deleted.

If your channel doesn't follow the main
three rules as above, including the 500 subs count, your post will be
deleted. No exceptions. It is a must to follow all three rules. If you do not have any of these three main lines, your submission will be deleted.

Thank you for replying! Maybe it was purposely written like that then. Technically it wasn't a numbered rule, but it was very big text and in red like the requirements, so hard to miss unless those people didn't bother reading, know what I mean? Poor Pewds.. I tried looking at a page and could barely load it due to lack of tags - think only 2 people out of 20 used them on one of the pages! D:

Yeah poor guy will have a tough time getting through em xD

I hope not, I would have been on the first few pages but I had to wait a few days to hit 500 because I was at 493 when he announced it. I hope me being that close to 500 doesn't effect his choice. Also do you guys think he will visit people's channels in order to see more of them? I made a montage but I couldn't get a lot of my old videos due to them being on an older computer T_T oh well thanks for the input thus far!

I think if he chooses some of his favourite videos first, he might then go to their channels to see what other videos they have and clean up the list. But I could be totally wrong! He might just judge on the videos posted in the contest.

I know how you feel, I wish I could have used more footage, but a lot of my old stuff is TERRIBLE audio quality and it has drastically changed in a short space of a few months.

I'm certain he will pick a list of maybe 30 channels and then go through them and see a few other videos to determine who wins. He said in his video that this is a small thing for him but can potentially change a life of a youtuber (I got 20 subs from having one top comment on one of his videos so it would literally change my life) so I'm sure that he will try his best to pick the best channels!

Has anyone else seen a boost in subscribers since posting their entry in the thread? I am on page 116 and the thread stopped at 117. I gained 26 subscribers today so far and am now sitting at 999 subs. I really think some of them came from people looking to see the last few entries and spying mine and coming to my channel. I could be 100% wrong about this but it's so coicidental since I entered RIGHT before the deadline. Anyone else experience this?

There are people stuck in the middle, just think about it. People check the first 10 and the last 10!

Aw jjustgreg, I'm so sorry. Haha. You're right. I was trying to finish my montage I'd been working on all week so I didn't get it in till 1am EST US~ I thought that was a bad thing but I guess it actually helped me somewhat.

could be true

Nope, you know why? BECAUSE I"M STUCK IN THE MIDDLE!!! *Angry fist waving* !I'm on page 43 xD. People will watch the first 10 pages, and the last 10 pages. But the people in the middle... R.I.P. *Hmm what you saay, that you only meant well... Ofcourse you did*

not sure I'm on page 117 and I havnt gone up in subs, but maybe I suck

I had a tiny wee boost recently yeah... Quite nice haha... guess everyone is going through looking at the submissions now... My application video deffo got a big boost atleast :D. So scary hehe

This is gonna sound super cheeseball of me but I hope everyone with a good channel gets a little boost from this somehow.

Do you know how many winners he chooses?

Unfortunatly it's just one winner... Such a shame because theres so many excellent applications!

Theres another thread going right now where people are discussing there fave applications

Cant believe my post will be deleted because of that one mistake of not doing the spoiler tag.
I was on page 6 too!
Can a friendly mod please alter this for me? I understand if its not possible.

Noooo problem - FAVORITE SHOUTOUT COMPETITION #3 ENTRIES

I didn't submit, but I'm sure that they'd look through all the submissions.
The reason there may have been a lot of winners on the first 10 pages or so is because they're more active than the others,
thats just a guess though.

Theres a lot of talent and Im sure Pewds wouldnt be lazy about picking who to shout out to!

Winners means multiple. So, I'm pretty sure it's going to be more than one. My best guess would be around 10 winners like the last time, plus it gives everyone a bit more hope knowing there might be 10 winners.

Oh god i can't read and i'm also feeling mighty embarrassed right now haha... my bad xD

If he picks one winner then I am not quite as confident. I am newer so I feel discouraged. Well, I hope
