That’s so obvious Dan. I’d be embarrassed not doing it organically. Like it should be.
NEO cards and comics looks like one of Harry Potters Hobbits, does he buy subs, wouldn't surprise me, as he comes across as a flipper type, flippers help ruin collecting with there greed
Neo growth has been slow and consistent, I don’t think he has bought any but who truly knows
Who TF cares about this stuff? I guess only emotional content creators that are struggling or flat do. KZread makes a lot of money , I don’t care at all if someone is able to outsmart them and get some of that money.
People care as it gives context to YT and sponsorships etc. if you listened closely you’ll know it doesn’t outsmart anyone and no money is made from it long term
Of course Desperate Dustin the Sports Card Poser didn't give credit, he is only about promoting himself. He only regurgitates and recycles second hand information, never offering anything original.
I have told him this before but I think doing daily content really hurts his ability to add original thought speech to a lot of talking points.
If the hobby continues to use the term "Investment" and OEM of sport cards doing whatever they want with price gouging, I would not be surprised it government regulation comes very soon.
I feel the same way tbh
I had a youtube channel that was slowly growing but growing nevertheless. I started live streaming some stuff that was kinda related to my content but also wasnt. Picked up a lot of new subs and all of a sudden ppl stopped watching my actual vids. I think if I do a youtube channel again, I would never live stream again.
I think you just need to be careful how far you diverge from your actual niche. I.e. it needs to be a consistent theme across all your content but like I said in the video, shorts audience is very different to long form
ol sports card daddy was the failed ‘personal finance dad’. then he begged geoff wilson to have him for an interview so he could gain popularity. the interview was horrible n weird. theres a little core of hobby buddies. and theyre all sketchy and sleezy. anything to get attention. sports card dad. geoffy wilson. Neo cards and comics (who purchased kurts card care “just to see what it was”). neo was the most normal/helpful, but he was just hiding it.
What interview with Geoff? The one on his show?
Great video Dan. Hope the dad life is treating you well
It is and thank you for checking in 🙌
Hello, I think we need to be careful when we say "buying subs". Buying subs is illegal, and youtube will terminate your channel, so I don't think anyone is buying subs. What I think is happening is that they are using the promotion feature that is within youtube to promote their videos in youtube studio. If so, there is absolutely nothing wrong with promoting your brand. These new subscribers subscribed because they must of enjoyed their content, and it's a good way to promote your channel under the youtube guidelines. No difference than a company promoting their brands, products, movies, etc... we are surrounded by advertisements, we live in a world of advertisements, and yet the sports card community seems to have a problem when one of them promotes its brand. I recommend sticking to what you do best and getting away from this toxic jealously that will only negatively impact all sports card channels, because real collectors which you seem to praise don't give a crap a out it. Sincerely, ODN1
Hey mate, if you dig a bit deeper into the YT Algorithm and how the Analytics work with the promotion feature, you will understand that the growth he obtained is odd. Toxic jealousy is a far cry from the truth but each to their own. This flows through to "Real collectors" too which is why I talked about it.
@DanTheCardMan2 Thank you for your reply. The growth in subscribers is what you would expect when you run a youtube promotion for a particular time frame, which would also explain the odd growth.
@@odn1 From the hours I have researched, those numbers obtained seem absolutely out of the realm of possibility. I will investigate further though. I might even experiment and run my own promotion campaign to see what happens
@DanTheCardMan2 yes, excellent idea. I know for a fact that one can gain thousands of subscribers when running a promotion targeting all countries for, let's say, a few hundreds of dollars. IMO, an excellent way to legally promote your brand on the youtube platform. Sincerely, ODN1
I don’t know one big sports card dealer online that doesn’t pay for views and subscribers.. get with the program. They ALL buy followers. They have too otherwise they wouldn’t survive. See their IG followers too, again, they ALL buy subs.
They don't all buy followers. The funny thing is, you say they wouldn't survive. The second you do it you can write your channel off because once you stop you quickly realize that no one is actually consuming your content anymore.
I don’t enjoy watching someones videos any less if they bought subscribers.
It’s why I said the only thing it hurts is themselves. Makes it hard to grow and get videos pushed out to people
Roth is a nepo baby. He got all his money from his parents. And he is a fraud. Don’t get me wrong I love the videos but he lies to the ppl. U literally can’t live off of flying show to show and selling and buying sports cards. Super lies ! And he also use to be a shoe flipper. Go back to his KZread channel and go to the first couple videos
i believe jay is one of the hardest working sports cards content creators on youtube so just for that he gets a nod from me.. justin on the other hand is so lazy its cringy.. all he talks about is what others have already talked about and wtf is up with all those sposors.. what a sellout! btw, the short the back yard bros did on pumping T-law is fuckin pathetic! speak when you see a better Qb than T-law.. grant thinks everyone is an idiot like he is for getting way to deep on tlaw cards
The Japanese economy is doing well right now so I don’t really buy it’s about desperation. It’s more about greed.
Most, if not all of them, are phonies…😂
謝謝！
Thank you man, again, you don’t need to do this but I really appreciate your support
I called a watch dealer out on bought subs, views, and comments. Made a Reddit post on a sub the guy and his associates read daily. He had 475k views on average per video within 24 hours of release. Comments would reach around 2500. They gained 1k subs a week for a year consistently. After my post, his views dropped to 50k and less in 24 hours. He stopped releasing videos weekly for 3 months after the post. I posted the data, so people, including him, knew he was caught. Comments went to around 200 at most, and the majority of them were not favorable. His subcount dropped to 35 a week on top of it. He would go days without a single view of his long and short form. The algorithm took him off the suggested for long and short autoplay lists that quickly. He bought comments for giveaways to drown the callout comments from being seen. So, another post was made, and they turned on the fake Instagram comments. But they were the fake investment ones. They were deleted within 10 minutes of my post, and at least 75% of the comments for their last 10 posts went away. There is no way someone with 1500 followers gets 20k likes and 350 comments. The watch market is almost dead. It dropped faster than cards, and almost every model is at retail or below.
Which channel was it? I'm a big viewer (critic) of watch channels - Roman Sheriff, 4P, old TPG (pre-arrest), Tim Write, Archie, WN....
@@yankeesandgiants1886 Roman Sharf
Yep! I totally forgot about him when talking about this topic lol. His channel should be beside the definition of buying subscribers in the dictionary.
So you're a fan of a certain sub-reddit then as well haha
I honestly find most card KZreadrs to be very cringe, there are very few i watch and/or take seriously
Appreciate you Dan!
Thank you my man
Dustin..has the .hot wife..who is..bored .
Nothing on the internet is real
I bought a couple subs today. 1 ham and 1 turkey/bacon.
I lied when I said I haven’t bought dubs. I’ve definitely eaten way too many meatball sandwiches in my life to count
@DanTheCardMan2 meatball subs are awesome...and probably part of the reason I had to have my gallbladder removed earlier this week. 🤣
hope you are recovering well mate
@@DanTheCardMan2 Thanks it's going well.1st 2 days were brutal but the pain was actually less than what I was going through before surgery so not much to complain about.
I just subscribed hope that helps your analytics some 🫠
Ty good sir
We hate sports card dad. We love vintage sports shack
Sports Shack vs Neo and Dustin in a 2 on 1 handicap steel cage match
@@liverust5 im glad you saw the light
Buying subs ... Buying them from whom?
A bunch of companies sell them. They basically make fake accounts and then charge you to get them to watch and sub
😂😂 what a clown 🤡 show
They use sub count as a salss pitch closing deals. What a shame.
Appreciate what you do! Great video as always!
I appreciate that!
We appreciate your videos. Keep it up.
Thank you!
Your channel is a blessing that brings much joy 🌺🌺 You see a message like the above and that's one way to tell someone is buying interactions
Haha 100%, sometimes you get random bot comments, but it’s when you see the above dozens of times is a red flag
The funniest thing is that the KZread algo is so good buying subs will only hurt you.
Yup, like I said, guys basically do it and then get stuck having to keep repeating it because YT nukes it pretty quickly. Subs stop clicking because they aren’t real and then YT stops recommending
Lets be honest the cap for most channels with sports cards is 10k. Not to many people in the hobby. Especially gaining over 100 subs in a week is suspect. If your at 100k subs you should be pulling 30k views a video
Yup, I agree. Many sub counts are inflated from the boom though. A lot of people have left and it’s hurting channels now.
I think Dappz buys subs or views on social media
I forgot about him 😂. He 100000% did
@aihsports dappz had a live on Instagram one night with 2k viewers. I checked the list, and it was fake model accounts. They kept commenting the same 10 ones over and over, lol.
@@patchesohoulihan9826 lol
i pride myself in being all natural. lol.
hankus pankus the whole hobby top to bottom full of scummy shit like this
Stryker Breaks bought 50k subs and nobody said anything, actually crazy. Even Sports Card radio scared to shake that tree for some reason
Assume they just missed it. I’m happy to take a look
I have a hard time watching him. He seems fake and full of himself. Not attractive.
Shorts massively skew channel subs vs. long form views as you pointed out later on in the video. I think a lot of people are trying to make short term ego gains via shorts over making decent long form content. TikTok generation at work.
Yep, exactly. They don’t convert to long form and these guys don’t get it. Happy to see a big sub number but then get confused why they stop getting pushed by the algo
Basically my vid from yesterday, but in an Australian accent lol 😂 hey bro if you want me to come with a British accent, I can do so. Mums a Brit 😂
He’s making fun of you lol
I am all for that, we need more diversity. It’s why you got an attribution because I piggybacked off it to cover the Keane example and go more in depth on sub to view ratio (I don’t recall you covering that)
Desperate Dustin the Sports Card Pathetic Poser, unoriginal hobby clown
I've heard a TON of content creators on KZread for years say that the majority of people that watch their videos do not subscribe.
Yup, it’s like that for most niches on YT which is why a small sub to view ratio of like 1% isn’t that insane, especially for more viral type content like vlogs
Excellent analysis. I hope you’re getting enough sleep as a new father!
Thank you! Things are getting better now, both kids are sleeping almost through the night. I think we win the lottery.
Gamble Gamble early on tried to do a video with Roth band he brushed him off and he and others suggested early on that Roth has been buying subs. What abour Geoff? Keane is a hustler. That kid is on WhatNot almost every day selling hundreds and hundreds of cards.
It wouldn’t surprise me with Geoff. Need to do more research but I think his is more high quality content that went viral a few times and gained subs that way. Entirely possible and probably plausible that they bough some so need to do more research.
@@DanTheCardMan2 Geoff has a whopping 324,000 subs and that increased quickly and engagement is low and views are about that of Roth and in some cases more with more than 1/3rd less subscribers than Goof. #HankyPanky.
I’m sure Sports Card Dad had a few subs buys in his closet…The only infomercial channel on KZread. Dudes a fraud too.
Nope. Sorry to disappoint lol 👎
@@TheSportsCardDad How about your “sports card addiction vids” Dustin. That was great click bait.
@@Sqwack27I’m absolutely shocked that you missed the point of those videos lol whatever dude.
@@TheSportsCardDad That’s your comment on everything, dude. “You didn’t understand”when someone disagrees with you.. Addiction is something that should never be taken lightly. You and Geoff would make a great show together maybe you can be regular on the Geoff Wilson show.
@@TheSportsCardDadyou had tremendous growth until you decided to chase nickels with those cheap plugs. If this is your main income source than I get it. If not, you shot yourself in the foot.
My thing is why do other people care that much about it why are people looking so closely at people sub counts maybe I’m just to old to get it 😂
That’s what I say at some point in the video. It hurts their own channel and that alone. I’m only talking about it because SCR raised it and so did Dustin. A good opportunity to bring some clarity
Can someone tell me the process of actually how someone would buy subs and views. How is that even done, need a walk thru on that process to understand
There are 100s of websites. They are basically bot farms in certain parts of the world where you go on and pick how many subs and views you want
Great information Dan, thanks for sharing
Glad it was helpful!
Still noone mentions stryker lol
lol someone mentioned him earlier, I had no idea so will need to take a look. Didn’t even know they existed if I’m being totally honest 😅
I am doing my channel for the LOVE of it. Hard work is more rewarding to me.
Consistency is key. As long as you have fun that’s all that matters
i may not comment on every vid mate but i do thumb up and watch even loved the fishin N rips too was good to have on in the background while sorting cards
Thank you my man! Appreciate the kind words
Most of my subs are from short videos and at least 90% don't subscribe according to my analytics. I have only recently heard of buying subs, got accused of it, lol. Know nothing about it
most people in this space are grifters. sad
I’d change it to most in social media not in the hobby space. Unless that’s what you meant
