From my experiences with YouTube view performance the ones that are linked by friends or stumble on your videos themselves are the ones most likely to subscribe and give you the hits you need, forum viewers are more often than not once-or-twice hits.
Tldr; the strength of a YouTube channel is in its content not the number of forums you link spam. |
Look, I know you think you're an educator, a form of sage wisdom that balances things with logic, but you don't understand things as well as you might think.
The reason I look to forums is because the feedback is direct. If I just create content, no one's going to take the time to send me a message on YouTube or comment in my videos with useful feedback. All they'll do is either hit the Like or Dislike button. Forums provide the exact nature of what I'm looking for: discussion. That's what they're for.
People give me ideas, they voice their opinions, they share something they normally wouldn't in the comment section of a YouTube video, and it's WHY the show has improved at such an alarming rate from its start: forums. You like to call it like you "see it", but are jumping to many incorrect conclusions in the act of doing so. It isn't about advertising, it's about the fact that many people find comfort in their forum of choice, and will voice opinions. Some are useful, and some are useless (blatantly put, stuff like yours in this thread).
To prove your own point by using you as an example: I have actually noted your idea of putting gameplay somewhere in the background, either projected, or in a corner, and also noted your video about overexposing the background. You know why you gave me that feedback in that first thread a couple months ago? Because I posted about my show in this forum. Would you have ever told me that idea if you found me on YouTube? Nope.
