I actually became “known” through advertising (you call it spamming, I call it advertising), but became “big” (although not really that big), when I was featured.
I wasn’t going to spend all that time producing something for no one to watch it. I had to get the word out somehow.

I seriously bet one day it might. If you think about it, Atom Films (pay me for the mention please) has been around for AGES and is in a higher quality to youtube and other ‘amature’ viral video sites. They have gained audience through paying their ‘creators’ for ages before youtube.

A site that pays creators will soon enough kick out the little people because their annoyed at getting no views and all the people who have gained millions won’t be able to get enough of it.

YouTubes move icould be quite a bad one. Remember when you used to be a little tuber and had 1 or 2 subscribers and had around 0-1 view per video? What would you be thinking if one of your friends had 10k+ subscribers who refuses to mention you, wouldn’t you feel really gelous(sp?). You’d either leave through frustration or give up making videos.

I’ve seen plenty of people gain thousands of subscribers in the time it took me to gain 10′s. People cheat in this industry though various means, mostly though giving a false friendship to make you subscribe then completely disowning you. People spam just look at the Youtube Theater for example. through spam they have become ‘big’.

This is turning off topic and rather poopie, lets move on.

“He’s approaching 40 million views. Do you realize how much advertising revenue that represents for YouTube? Even a couple pennies a view would have made him a millionaire.”

That would actually make him a $800,000 ‘air’, In my currency that would only be around $400,000. You Americans need to fix your umm… I should know this I do business studies….. Just fix your exchange rate! Let us English folk get more cash!
