There’s no question that YouTube’s Fred is about to reach 1,000,000 subscribers (see popular video with opinions on this matter).
But how many do I have? Which count should I believe (both screen shots taken within past hour). Am I at 100K or approaching it?
Speaking of accuracy on the Interweb, why is the Nalts wikipedia page looking like an ad? I didn’t touch it!
I hate elections. People coming to my home, boring converations, phone calls from spinsters. And all the most-viewed videos are political satires or ads. If you watch my channel, you’ll notice I haven’t been posting videos. I’m eagerly waiting for the wonderful calm after the political storm. Too much noise now. It’s like trying to…
eMarketer (via Wired) produces sober estimates about the sustainability of the current online-video “CPM.” (that’s the way online-video ads are priced… cost per thousand). What does it mean to you? Viewer: Not much. Just keep watching. Especially my crap. Amateur Creator: It may seem initially upsetting, but of course supply/demand will take care of things….
It’s time to change the way advertising agency holding companies source video content. First some background: Advertising agency holding companies ignored the web for 5-10 years, allowing a flurry of website production companies to evolve into full-service “digital agencies of record.” They finally developed small web agencies internally, and then realized they needed to acquire…
Haven’t been to Dailymotion in a while? Check out the “Big Mexican Punch Up.” It’s a tradition that dates back to feuding neighbors, but the mayor cautions us that participants, by rule, can’t have been involved in a dispute prior to the event. They don’t want them venting frustration as they punch strangers repeatedly in…
Take it from the author of “Beyond Viral,” dear reader. Viral video is like fire. It can create a toasty fire or get people burned. Today we learned out the Times Square billboard hack video was part of the campaign for the film, Limitless. The deception was the brainchild of the viral-video maker “ThinkModo,” according…
Yesterday’s post about Viacom suing Google brought a couple dozen fantastic debate points. You can rest assured that Viacom’s public relations team is doing a “word of mouth” audit (using Buzzmetrics or another player) and that your quotes are being read by nervous spokespeople. I was amused by at Slashdot in which one individual suggested…

HAHAHA, wow. I remember a year or so ago I told two of the people/channels I did consulting for that “One you hit 200k subs, you’ll be tops! You’ll have a permanent place on the top ten!” I also said that groups like smosh would eventually quit Youtube and go off to another site/tv, leaving the top spot for somebody else.
Boy was I wrong. But a year ago, who could have guessed what the most viewed would be today? If that person exists, they needed to be working for me, heh.
I’m glad I’m out of that, though. I have since moved to Japan so I can focus my knowledge on my own work. If things turn out right, I’m coming for ya, Nalts! Knowledge is power!
Haha. Right. I’m going to go play Japanese lotto…
and Reubnick reaches 500. HUZZAH!
14 more videos to make before I can move on to greener pastures. Huzzah!
anal retentive wikis. crips you’d think people would have something better to do when not getting paid.
I unsubscribed from Fred
I never subscribed to Fred.
Know thy enemy. Even if I have to stay subscribed…
OMG! 90k more subscribers got suckered into your craziness?! Poor souls. I remember congratulating you when you got like 18k or something…haha, seems silly now.
You ARE a pretty BIG deal on Youtube! :o)
Congrats homeboy!
@4
I’ve always been amazed at how much effort people will put into working for free.
I, for one, do not congratulate you on reaching 100K subs. By the time I get to your newest video it’s already got 14K views and 500 comments. Kills my comment mojo because I’m not gonna read 500 comments and I’m not gonna comment if you’re not gonna get around to reading it.
@10
Try watching my stuff, sukatra. I respond to each and every one of my video comments.
@7 unless he gets a TV Show I think Fred is pretty much done
@11 can’t watch your videos anymore too damn depressing, especially in this economy
^ Jeeze, jischinger, I haven’t even posted the depressing stuff yet. I was saving them for my last 5 videos (videos # 996-1000). They’ll be 30 minutes long each.
Here’s a video response to one of my recent videos where the guy doesn’t find my videos depressing at all:

^He’s talking about my sister Beth and me (The White Rhino) and our production company.
Remember the game “which one is not like the other”?
One says ‘Subscribers’ the other the number of ‘Views’.
Right?
