this is hero just not logged in. - the subscribers gained are from my existing base. I have almost 100,000 subscribers so basically when I upload and videos the creator is able to get his content in front of thousands of people on youtube. I agree 100% that the transfer rate of subscribers from the wiki to actually coming over to youtube is just horrible. Also the clam is not made up. http://vidstatsx.com/PedguinGames/youtube-channel if you take a look at this youtubers stats you see a large spike in traffic to his channel. All I did was favorite one of his videos on the 4th. Also I wanted to note that youtube search rankings are based on subscribers, so for me I always feel that more subscribers are better than more views. They help you get higher in search rankings which then helps you get the views. The subs gained from the wiki are so bad and so low it's not even funny. Also terraria is dying so for youtubers who are actually looking to grow there channel endorsements from ad existing youtuber is very powerful vs gtting into a market that is in decline. Also the link i provided was the lowest case I have ever had. I have helped many channels gain over 1000 subs in just 24hours from a plug. I have also helped 5+ channels gain 5000 or more subs just through doing 4-8 vids with them and linking to them. The biggest traffic won't actually be coming from the wiki it will be from me. The way i saw the problem is youtubers want to grow there channels so this allows them to grow them faster and to help the wiki at the same time.
