Around the Network

ok, i have looked through some of your videos, and i will leave some of my advice. first of all, im not really sure what differentiates your content from a lot of other people's content out there.. that might be something to think about. why would somebody subscribe to your channel over somebody else's? find something that makes you different or unique.
and the other thing that i will say is that contests like these really arent the way to go. you are just going to get people to subscribe to your channel who dont really care about your content. dont you want subscribers who subscribe because they enjoy your videos? personally, i only want people to subscribe to my channel if they find what i do funny. if they dont enjoy my videos, then i have nothing to offer them. and honestly, i dont want a bunch of people subscribed to my channel unless they are going to watch and enjoy a new video that i put up.

Fuck you don't stop do you? Who gives a fuck if the PS4 has been used or not

Mind your language :)



I wonder which of our long standing forum members was ember22 on youtube? it's totally going to be someone who has been on here for at least a few months who can say it's them?

As for the youtube channel with gaming videos with no commentary over them... you've no hope in the world of making any money ever, none. Unless you seriously rethink a proper brand and direction then you have no hope, gathering a handful of footage of you playing MW or Battlefield and dropping them all down with the directions of "watch these" isn't going to work, you either need to have a personality to be likeable or attempt to be annoying where you will draw attention from people who want to flame you but inadvertantly give you views/subs.

I'm definately in the same boat as Tachikoma tho, chances of you handing over a functional ps4 for 100 subs is just not of this world, as others have said here and in the first google results of "how do i make moneys on teh youtubes" you can buy sponsership in some more known channels for far less than the cost of a PS4 and you'll get a whole lot more attention than trying to run a trick like this.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

Drewz19 on VGChartz is Ember22 in the clan and PSN.

If you watched the giveaway video on my channel I explain. Basically, I bought my bro a ps4 and ps4 skin for christmas, but then his girlfriend bought him a ps4 for his bday. So I was gonna keep the extra ps4 for myself for another room in the house, but decided it would be awesome to do a giveaway for our new channel. Do instead of a $10 gift card to somewhere, we give away a ps4, that would make someone really happy before the holidays. We wanted a subscriber level easily reached with this kind of offer so we could do it before the holidays.

Also, Im pretty sure a lot of you complain about such a great offer for having to do nothing but watch youtube videos. The channel is for fun and most of our future videos will have commentary, but we use the channel to post whatever we want for us. We will have a ton of different games going up soon since there are a few of us in the clan and we all play different games.

We were also planning on doing another PS4 giveaway at a higher subscribe or viewing level, and announce it tonight. We all liked how well the first giveaway has gone and thought we should all chip in this time and do 1 more big giveaway for the holidays.

So, either participate or don't, thats on you. It costs you nothing, and at the very least our channel has videos of us playing and talkign about video games. So, enjoy them or dont worry about it.

Exactly as I predicted in my post above.
Saying it here first is smarter than just posting it on another forum though.

Someone who seemingly lied to me over something as trivial as to get his point across is clearly telling the truth about giving away content worth up to $800, right guys?
And a dusty PS4 with fresh cables still in their plastic looks very legit.

Funny. At first you said it was only going to be one giveaway at 100 subs, correcting someone who assumed it would be at every 100 subs. And now all of a sudden there's going to be more.

Yet, how did I see this coming a mile away?

It's pretty obvious what you're trying to do. And frankly it's not going to work unless you actually have content that people love on your channel that stands out from the rest. Because once the "giveaways" are over, many people will unsubscribe. And those who don't won't watch what they don't enjoy.
Of course, I'm sure you believe in your content. Just like you believed it was a smart idea to whipe the PS4 clean of dust everywhere except in the crevices, and then leave a set of "new" cables on top of it still in their plastic.

Good try and the way I see it is your the one missing out. Too bad.

And now you also did the second thing I predicted, namely ignoring giving me a reply to your blatant lie earlier, and didn't explain the dusty PS4 + fresh cables in plastic, and basically telling us "believe what you want to believe."

Now, either I'm an oracle, or you're being very transparent without thinking this through properly.

The PS4 is clearly not in the box, of course it has some dust, doesnt take a genius to figure that out, its common sense.

My whole point is, is that you are trying to "get us", but there is nothing to get us on. We wont make any money on 100 subs, we only wanted to give away the PS4. Now since it made people happy, the whole team wants to chip in for another PS4 to giveaway.

I guess you are just one of those people who just cant be happy? Again like I said... too bad.

The PS4 being used or not being in the box is not the issue.
It's the fresh set of new cables put on top of it. Why would you do that if not to make it appear as if it hasn't been used much? When it clearly has been.

And it appears you missed what me, and a few others were aluding to, so let me point it out again.
You won't make money off of 100 subs, sure. That's why you're doing this giveaway again for more subs. That's why I predicted that you would do the giveaway again. And probably again. And again. And again. If not on this forum, then somewhere else.
That is what appears to be your end goal here.

The PS4 has never been turned on. We took it out of the box the put the skin on the ps4 and controller. I already posted you can get the skins from here: http://nuvango.com/.

Im just curious why you care so much about a couple of people giving stuff away for free? It literally does not effect anyone's life but the person that won. So, why not keep giving stuff away? Some people give to charity, but we can actually choose what to do with our money and if we want other gamers to have a PS4, then why not. In the meantime we might as well have gameplay videos of video games, since we play all the time. Having a channel where all you see is one of us recording what a PS4 looks like would be boring. And we want more subs to more people have the chance to win. If we get 100 people to try it first, then if they dont win and want another chance then they just spread the word and get more people to join.

Then that works for us cause more people know of the giveaway and aheva  chance to win. So stop being salty, you apparently dont like life.

Moderated,

-Mr Khan



wow. youve been exposed dude. just admit it. hiku gave you a spanking. and literally predicted your every move lol. its actually quite entertaining. you should do a commentary about this dialogue and put it on your youtube channel.

That much dust doesn't gather in the crevices like that from simply taking it out of the box momentarily. I've owned my fair share of consoles to know that. Even Tachikoma's consoles were much cleraner. And why would a PS4 be out of its box for such a long time if you never turned it on?
A more beliavable ploy would have been to simply say you're giving away a used PS4. But you seemingly made the mistake of trying to make it look relatively unused instead, but forgot certain details when doing so.

And why I care is because you're seemingly trying to scam people on a forum that I interact with, me included. On top of ignoring to give me a simple example of the many successful channels you claimed were presenting their videos in the same manner. When you come off as insincere in a simple feedback discussion just to try to get your point across, then your sincerity regarding giving away two PS4's comes into question all the more heavily.

It's not a coincidence that you're doing exactly what I predicted, step by step.
In a few weeks/months, with a simple google search, we will no doubt find this "giveaway" on another forum community.
And once again, the prize will go to someone that no one can verify is not your alt account.

Good thing this topic will still be here then for reference for others to see in that case, even if it may be locked.
Because if that is what you're doing and people report you to youtube, they will shut your channel down.

 

"Scams

Some users create content which attempts to trick others for their own financial gain. Content that deliberately tries to mislead users for financial gain may be removed, and in some cases strikes may be issued to the uploader."

Hey we know the rules. We read all the policys to make sure giveaways were allowed. https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2801973?hl=en

See I can copy and paste stuff too. We have not posted about this on any other forum. The fact is, I use VGChartz every day anyways. So why not talk with people that have the same interests. If you ever find another post from our channel or anything close to our giveaway (similar ps4's, voices or anything), then call me out on it and we will delete our channel. But the fact is, you wont.

We all already have a PS4, so it was either get the money back for it or giveaway. Never been turned on. Did you see the video of my PS4, I have had it 6 months and it has layers of dust. So the giveaway PS4 being out of the box for a few weeks is bound to have a little dust. I even rewatched the video and it doesnt look to have any dust at all anyways.

Also, we are asking whomever gets the PS4 to post a video on their youtube so everyone can see.

You can try all you want, us getting 100 subs makes us like $3. Not any financial gain there. And we are not taking anything from the people that subscribe besides their time.

And we have been nice to everyone, even you at first, but your sucking all the fun out of the giveaway... or at least trying to.

So again try all you want, we are just trying to make people happy. And to make you happy, for our second giveaway. we wil record ourselves buying the PS4 with the reciept and show the reciept at our house. And the winner of the first giveaway will upload a video from their account as well. That is all we are doing to try to please you. Is that good enough, or will you be upset the second time around as well?
