Could you guys do me a favour?

Hi Everyone,

I need to create a custom URL for my YouTube channel.

For that I need at least 100 subscribers.

YouTube videos with remixes of C64 tunes by me will be on it.

Could you guys become subscriber by clicking on the red button with subscribe on it in the next link?:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtIvr3fdhg0xCQnvLb2iFAQ

It would be fantastic if you would do that for me! :)

Could you ask as many other people to do the same?

Thank you very much!

Greetings,
Joachim.

It would be preferable if you didn't use the mail in a spammer-ish way to ask this, with hundreds of addresses clearly visible in the CC: field.
Now I get hundreds of replies from random people who reply to everyone instead of you only.
Be really cautious how you use mail, it's _really_ annoying what you did.

Sorry I made a mistake. My bad! Thanks to everyone who subscribed! I hope more people will! :)

I now need 32 more subscribers to make my dream come true! Two clicks is enough! :)

how about this for a revolutionary idea: upload content and earn subscribers? it may come as a shock to you, but it is possible. lol. anyway, I will not be subscribing to an empty channel just so you can have a vanity URL. :)

I am not sure why a video service like Youtube is important for sharing nice music? Wouldn't Soundcloud (or likewise) do just fine? Of course there is no ad money to be earned, but i am sure that this was not the intention anyways :) and there is an issue with ugly compression when upping the material.

Why choose a videoservice over an audioditto?

Why not both? ;) FYI SoundCloud compresses material uglier than YT does ;) I'm sure Yogibear has SoundCloud as well. Furthermore, YT is better handled by mobile apps for quick listen.

Together with a female animator and a female singer we are making YT videos for toddlers.
Some are remixes of my C64 tunes.
I'm hoping one day to get my money out of it by ads or even better hoping one of the songs will become an internet hype.
I do have SoundCloud under my real name. Posted some tracks years ago on it. They are OK.

Yeah, by saying it would be a c64 music remix channel (which makes sense, as you begged for subscribers here). ;) Only later, after you recieved your goal, you informed us that it actually was a YT channel was for toddlers, with the goal to make money... Nice played, dude.

I have to agree here. This is not nice at all. I supported you Yogibear , because i thought it's C64 related stuff mainly, without any "I want to get rich!" attitude...

Eh, I've no issues with someone trying to supplement their income. It's not like anyone who subscribed is going to be out of pocket.

The lack of transparency about the focus of the planned content is, however, somewhat disappointing. (FWIW, I would have subscribed anyway; a click costs me nothing but a few moments of my time).

"videos with remixes of C64 tunes by me will be on it"
vs
"we are making YT videos for toddlers"

either you have a problem with properly explaining the content or you just plainly use the half-truth strategy. the outcome is amusing regardless of the cause :)

HAHAHAHA. I had a feeling this was the plan. so glad I never subscribed. why the hell would I want to help you make money? not in this lifetime, champ. you're a lying idiot. if you were honest from the start then sure, I could understand (i still wouldn't have subbed. lol.).. but now? get the fuck out of here. utterly ridiculous bullshit. xD

I'm very sorry guys. I feel really bad about this. I should have been honest to you from the beginning.
Because of the high costs of an animator and professional female singer I only will make with them 3 YT videos
of which one is a remix of a SID I did. I was afraid if I told you this from the beginning you guys would
not support me. Can you please forgive me?

I have really no idea, if your apology is serious. I can only say, that my deep believe is to forgive people, when they made mistakes. In this case i can forgive you. But you have to accept, that there are possibly people who can not forgive you in a short time.
We all are not perfect and make mistakes from time to time.

In most cases I'm out of the discussions on CSDB, but now here's my 2 cents.

Trust is hard to gain and easy to lose. Being honest from the beginning should be silly or awkward, but doesn't break others trust. Before this "incident" your status was neither trustable nor unreliable for me and probably for most of the other ones. We're a "family" even when some of us is in a long distance relationship. Most of the people would support you even if you being honest, but now... You've lost my possible trust with this action. Is it worth it?

I still accept your apologize, but the next time you'll ask for something I'll remember that you've played out your "family"... It takes time to get forget this.

Why not ALSO put some videos with your remixes on the channel?
Like, "Hey, if you liked the music in this toddler video, here is some more." This way you keep your promise and have a wider audience for your channel.

(Maybe this is a dumb remark, but I am a peace-loving person, you know.)

I've had bad feeling from the beginning, scene was never about money, so even if channel is for only c64 tunes, its clear you need subscribers for the money. dont abuse the "friendship" we have for money.

Shamefully discribed myself as the 105:th member, hoping to see gloryfull music videos, experiments, late interviews, behind the scenes docus, but NOTHING! Lol!

Not so nice pal, so I will share, what I think is a nice music-album-video for you, to get things started...
Not even c64, but close enough. Enjoy. Thundercat, gets to yah! Yoddles, Toddles or whatever. Making me look like the dissdient I ever was, fine by that. Y F K

My apology is very serious. It was really stupid of me. I hope I can regain the trust of everyone.
I've been a scener for many years and want to stay that for as long as possible.

@Rastah Bar: Thanks for the idea. I'll keep it in mind.

Hope to get some stuff on the YT channel asap.
