Actually, you may have a point, assuming most of the empty subs are from abandoned or inactive accounts that won't unsubscribe because they are just programs with no user
if you couldn't understand what he meant due to the meme corruption, he's saying that atleast one of emplemon's subs has actually passed away and will never be able to unsub due to being actually fucking dead.
So he should just bruteforce and unsubscribe, as that's the only option at this point. It may not be ethical, but with this many empty subscribers, this may be the only option. I don't have to deal with this, as I'm a small channel. But I'll have to deal with it as I grow larger.
You can easily find them. If a check marked channel commented on a popular or trending video. If it has less than ~500k subscribers, then that channel is dead if the recent uploads are in the 5 digits or low 6 digits.
I have this problem myself currently, because I made one specific video about a controversial subject, got a bunch of subscribers and now they donât watch my content because they expect a video like that again. Wish we could remove subsđ Great video btwđđ»
I've been thinking the same thing...it' s clear that EmpLemon has found a way to take what he used to love doing and find a new avenue for it...
I never even heard of him until just yesterday but I am a DEFINITE fan! I've been searching all over YouTube for content like this and honestly it is getting harder and harder to find. Even though I tend to lean towards the more informative content, my recommendation list keeps getting more and more bloated with normie crud...that said, every once in a while the algorithm throws something like this my way and I LOVE it when it does! âșđđđ
@Christopher Althouse Check out his documentary on Stan Petrov (it's a never ever episode. It's great!) I've been a fan of emp for over 2 years and I'm so glad to see how much he's grown in such a small amount of time.
@Liam Rucker Nah, that's the thing, I very much enjoy his content, and I actually enjoy a lot of YTP in general too, I'm just saying, it's hard when you're sitting there enjoying what he has to say, and the video he puts to it, then the 20x normal volume thing happens and blows out my eardrums. It's worth a chuckle if done sparingly but sometimes he does it too much in a video. I admit its the one YTP device that I've never been especially fond of, what can I say
@Nondescript the features of content such as that are still aspects of the content, therefore my point still stands. I didnt insinuate that the information and the general structyre may not be enjoyable to you, but rather that his niche of how he produces content (the things he uses while getting across points in his videos, including the earr*pe) is not going to be for everyone.
I just want to genuinely thank you for being such a great person and trying to clean this oversaturated mess of a site. Your documentary content as a whole gives a glimpse of a world of 'outsider' content and culture I never would have seen. Started on your channel with the hbox video đ
As of April 25, 2019 __________________ I calculated the average views on the 10 most recent videos on your channel. I had an average of 539,900 views, and at the time you had 450,978 subscribers. Using your formula, you have a -0.19% empty subscriber rate! NEGATIVE. congratulations!
That's because subscribing doesn't really do anything anymore. People watch the videos suggested to them by the algorithm, not the videos uploaded by the channels they're subscribed to.
(STUDENT)William Giles even then to have a 0% empty sub rate would mean that your channel would be pretty small and most likely only have subs in the single or double digits mainly consisting of people you have connections with outisde of youtube
@Shane Grogan watching content = more of that content being reccomended by a l g or i th m subscribing = notified when vido watch vido = step 1 it does something ohuifdgyndbouionrt
Many channels complain that the vast majority of their views come from people that aren't subscribed (you can see in the analytics), this is probably the cause.
@Shane Grogan I have almost 800 subscriptions, so I watch what drops on my sub page because it's basically an improved algorithm. And it's strange that I can remember most of my subscriptions...
Update: 24/07/21 10 most recent videos, as before average of 866400 views compared to 789000 subscribers using the formula, it comes to -0.098% if being closer to flat 0% is technically better, congrats! that's an extra tenth of a percent closer.
Recently discovered and subbed to your channel after watching your breakdown of why SpongeBob was a great show, and I've been binging your content ever since. Your analysis of various issues and appreciation of meme culture keeps me coming back. Keep up the great poop my man, I enjoy riding the downward spiral!
Hi there. I don't know you, but it seems like your mere presence outside your own media is seemingly noteworthy for being unexpected due to your popularity. Therefore, I apologise for you suffering such a problem.
OH shit I was actually looking for you and I thought "wait is this the kid who made the how to make trap tutorial?" "no he's not! fuck!" Thanks for coming back
Oh hey didn't see you walk in there. Gotta say your future bass tutorial was one of the first videos I watched of yours and hands down my favorite. Thank you.
Damb frank I literally just listened to some of your your awesome music then came here scrolled down to the comments and now I here wondering what im doing with my life commenting on a comment you made a year ago although I know your probably never going to see this and I'll just go back to thinking about death and if anything counts in the end, is anything real or is it just all illusions
Since i discovered this channel in 2015, funnily enough, with the uncredibles, i kept a close viewership on it, and i realized that it reflects a lot about my own experiences growing up I'm quite sure i'm the same age as emp now, and seeing the new series in this channel, i think the evolution of this channel is incredible how a person can show growth and evolution using only his art, his craft Emp, i really think you deserve more recognition for your craft, not only for your ytps
Wonder if Emp looks back at this video. It seems like a thoughtful video that gave that push to make more essay type videos. He has surpassed the empty subscriber issue so now his videos break his sub count or at least stays on par to the count.

Jokes on you, Lemon. I'm not subscribed yet i binge watch your videos. How do you like them apples
If count every single secuence of DNA from every living cell of your body that must be an absurd number of cromosomes. I'm not ashamed to say I'm dumber than that but perhaps Emp Lemon really is up there and I wouldn't even be surprised. To be fair you need a high IQ to handle this channel the way he does
That doesn't work, just doesn't. The closest thing to that is ionizing radiation and that still doesn't quite count and you would certainly be dead, that is living in Chernobyl for a decade, times 5000
You know, I never thought Iâd see the day where a YouTuber would be encouraging people to unsubscribe instead of subscribe. It makes me wonder how many other YouTubers care about empty subscribers and how many simply prefer to see a large number by their subscriber count
Recently have gotten into your videos, always loved YouTube poop since I was a kid and finding your channel and some of your vids again made me pretty damn happy in these times.
Thought I'd say this cause you said you read the comments, I usually watch YouTube on my xbox, which sucks cause the interface is even worse than a browser, you can't even comment on videos... And that's the tip of the iceberg.
I think these new mediums of viewing YouTube really have added to empty subs or a YouTube community that actually can't participate because of the medium of using this website...
4 years later somewhat recently going through all your videos because I stopped watching after the YTPs lol I must say your channel is so much better than what it was 7 or whatever years ago and you make amazing documentary-style videos with absolutely incredible editing that make me laugh, I'm sure we all prefer more intelligent thought-provoking videos and now you are at over 700K subscribers with even more viewers watching your videos so congratulations :')
I'm shocked that you could make this in your spare time. It must have taken so much time in editing. I am new to your channel and I love it. This one made me laugh a lot. The long form analysis is awesome that probably came out of this one is what I am here for. Good job.
Mad respect for you, EmpLemon, I watch every video you upload and love your style. I won't unsubscribe because I am genuinely entertained by everything you do. May the spiral be ever downward.
I love your commentary videos dude. I'm having a hard time getting used to the ear rape but I know YTP is where you started and ER is a big part of the style. Keep em coming and I'll look into some sound limiting software âđœ
Itâs been a long time now, but its odd that when you made the decision to turn your channel in this new direction away from ytp, I went from a somewhat empty subscriber to watching your catalogue several times a week
This is THE shit! I have always kind of thought like this but it is nice hearing it from someone else! Really liked the No thing and like how you are 4x times larger now!
I feel kinda bad because at this point of Emp's career I was mostly an empty subscriber. Not really by choice though, YouTube just didn't recommend his channel to me at all, and occasionally I'd watch a YTP and think "Huh, whatever happened to that Emperor Lemon guy?" But for some reason I didn't go check until a couple years later.
Your chaotic editing is my jam and I love getting glimpses into your influences for style and interests. That âthe downward spiral will return after these messagesâ feels so much like [adult swim] itâs lovely and new and also nostalgic??
you're my top 3 favorite youtubers out there, along with idubbbz and critikal. you come off as so genuine and relatable all the time, and your content is the perfect mix of information, comedy, and effort, i've never seen anything like it. i aspire to make good content like you man, hopefully i'm less of an empty subscriber now lol
Funny. Never liked YTP, but these new videos of yours I'm actually enjoying, the video-essay and storytime videos. I mean not a huge fan of the editing style, but only because I don't like YTP and earrape. But whatever, the rest of the content is good enough to look past the things I personally disagree with. Nice video!
I subbed to Emp because I appreciate his content for kind of being the opposite of my mindset. While he is existential in some regards and treats life as realistic and relatively negative as I do, he also displays his mindset in an overall positive manner and doesn't take everything too seriously. I could learn a thing or two about positivism in the face of an evil world, and I could learn even more about not taking myself so seriously. I need to learn to not just laugh at the circumstances, but also at myself. Thanks for being a sort of foil to my mind, Emp, it really helps.
I find it fitting how Emp struggled with empty subscribers back then, when now, his channel is among the likes of Vsauce, with one of the lower percentages of empty subs.
Since this video, I think his content quality has improved. I can tell the enjoyment in making the videos has returned for him, which is better for the creator and the viewers.
Hey dude! I think you're great! I just subscribed and I think you're a smart, blessed guy. It's difficult to put into words what I want to say, (I'm a neanderthal), but you think. You see things in a different way that anybody else, and are a hard worker. You have a real job and do Youtube videos! (something I'd like to do when I move out!) You have good sense and taste but you don't conform to the masses. You put effort and care into your work. You inspire me and make me see things things in a whole new way! I wanna be like you, Emplemon! I do apologize for overreacting at your "Have Videos Games been on a Downward Spiral?" video. I need to better control myself. Oh, uh, and your YTPs are awesome! Good day to you and God bless!
Ive been spending the past couple of days going through all of your videos like this one. Your content feels substantial. Itâs like coming across a bottle of fresh water while lost at sea. Thereâs so many youtubers out there that pump out content thatâs just them reacting to something that someone else made. You always put the time and effort to make something original and thought provoking. Thanks for always entertaining me and I hope you have a good day
Lemon, I understand how you may feel by the number of subs you have and all I wanna do is introduce my self. I'm a US Marine and I love your content, It twists everything around and makes it so funny to the point I'm not able to breathe. I love your style in rock music just like the opening was Super Tramp Take the long way home. I love and I can relate to most of the things you post. Keep doing what you do man, Love this channel and I always get excited when you post even a 1 second video. These subs will never understand your true power of the Lemon side because it's too sour to taste. Have a good Holliday comming up man, love ya.
Good job emp lemon . I was never subscribed to you back during ur ytp era and only found you recently in ur âvideo commentaryâ vids and I have to say I really respect you for having some self worth and doing something new instead of what you felt u had to do for ur audience, even at the cost of some subscribers
the empty subscriber count can be calculated using the sub count, view count, and and ratio of viewers who are subscribed to those who are not (that youtube gives you) which can be useful if you have more views than subscribers.
For what its worth man I've only been a sub since you've made this kind of content and thats what I'm here for. You can tell you put work in and do your research. Keep up the good work! Fuck those empty subs, there's plenty of us actives that are happy to see any time you upload!
Facebook likely does something similar. A facebook group with no admins usually becomes open for the fastest member to claim. But if the last admin of a group "deletes" their account or is banned then the group is essentially permanently unmoderated because there is still a shadow account in a moderator position, same with the friend list. Havn't used the platform in quite some time and thats something i only discovered while closing down my accounts
I once had a channel in my subscriptions that had been terminated, that I couldn't unsub from because it didn't exist. I recently did end up unsubing, but for the longest time, youtube didn't even give me the option.
YouTube recently unsubbed me from a few of my subscribed channels (Shane, wooshiewoo.. and a few more) so I resubscribed, but people who deleted their accounts, they don't really resub because well, their account isn't there. So I think deleted channels Don't really add to it? Because I think YouTube would unsub them eventually????? Idk I'm an idiot Don't think I'm smart oQo|||
cαrαmŃl me too, I remember that I've subbed Scishow but smh that channel was disappear on my Sub list, then I proceed to resub them again because they are the reason why I am smart now...
I recall Youtube insisting that they actually removed deleted channels from subscriber counts. Of course, there's still no actual proof of this. It's difficult to tell what's real and what isn't when everything is unseen.
Because you dont get this often, i really enjoy your videos for real. i watch your videos on copyright, and now im learning about youtube without it seeming like some super professional educational bullshit (im starting a youtube channel as a quarantine project because i always wanted to it and now i can with all the free time). And it may have stopped me from recording an entire audiobook (fnaf book) and upload it. Thanks
I recently tuned into this channel, and honestly I will make sure to listen and understand the views conveyed by these videos. I will try to make good comments, know when to unsubscribe from a youtuber I don't care about anymore, and look for some good videos once I'm bored to shit. Thanks EmpLemon, you did a good!
Honestly when i was out of the loop on your transit from ytps to the more lottery style videos where any topic is game for the "cutting board" it was confusing until i caught up. Now I'm glad i did, kinda rough to have learned the trek you made but I'm glad to see you're here but have changed in some light you personally may view as positive, or at least on the road to such
I just wanna point out that a good chunk of non-content-creators, like myself, are what I call "nomadic viewers" in that they never settle down in one place. Yes, viewers will always stick to their niches with some staying in their corner more than others, but a lot of people simply ride the waves of the algorithm and search results to find whatever suits them at the time. One week you could be binge watching clips of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, the next you could be having Vsauce give you the big brain with a capital đ ±ïž.
To a nomad, the subscribe button isn't a "I wanna watch most of your content" button, it's a "I respect your talent and wish to have some way to remember you for the future" button.
I rarely watch your vids, Emp, but I have a massive respect for you and wish to see your channel grow. So even if my subscription is meaningless to you, to me it's my thumbs up to your whole channel.
I love the idea of subscriber purgatory, your channel is brilliant man, keep up the good content. I intend to watch and actually digest 100% of the things you upload in the future. Unless I die, then I wonât do that.
"See me, what I am, what I was, what I'll be,
Hear me, understand that I'm not what you see
Take this, take the man, middle term, common me
Don't you see that I'm just doing what I want to do
Nothing more and nothing less than you" - Free Hand by Gentle Giant, the song used at the end of the video, thank you for continuing to make high-quality uploads.
Your an amazing person and content creator. Stay determined! You're absolutely hilarious and I love everything you've done so far! You really know what you're doing when it comes to your channel and your memes, and speaking of memes YOU ARE THE PUREST SOURCE OF MEME I HAVE EVER FOUND! I've never been addicted but now I'm starting to understand my friend eddie who literally snorts this stuff. ANYMAHWAZZLE I love what you're doing, keep it up! Keep being you, you're amazing! Also please let me know if you read this I would love to know if I helped in any way
I think this video deserves more than 500k views... very insightful to the nature of the typical YouTube scene, even four years later. Not much has changed on the behalf of the viewers, but I feel many of the actual, genuine content creators (not KINDER EGG UNBOXING #4992 - HOLY SHIT BATMAN (SCARY)) have sort of adapted to these changes and begun making content they actually enjoy and believe in. Two different types of success: Getting views for selling your soul to the toy gods, or being genuinely happy and having a fanbase that has legitimate respect and appreciation (not to mention maturity).
I had a channel with 14k subs and a video with 3 million views. Unfortunately the video that got popular was made terribly and only got popular cause it was somewhat popular with a bunch of little kids. I tried making other content but the only way I was gonna get success on that channel was to make the same type of video, I wouldn't be able to get popular with anything else, so I quit that channel and made the one that I am commenting right now. I have a weekly upload schedule and feel happier knowing the people who are watching are not just a bunch of kids who only subscribed for the one video. Just for anyone thinking about making some dumb video that kids have enjoyed a lot in the past few months, don't do it. You will get empty subscribers, make your own damn content and just click bait it, even though you may be dis genuine with what you actually are it's better for your channel than getting empty subs.
I have so much respect for you and your content is so insight that Iâm going to overlook and sit through your annoying editing style rolling my eyes. Iâm not sure if this is a compliment or not. Love your channel. Let me know if you read my comment.
I subscribed today after binging YouTube Geographic and your similar content. I tried to watch the YouTube poop, got a couple chuckles, but it's not for me. I personally like the direction your channel is going, I know that's subjective but again, that's me personally. I usually don't comment on videos I watch because I usually subscribe to stuff that is interesting to me, and that I feel has re-watchability. I also like sharing with my circle that had similar interests as myself. All in all, I just wanted to state that, while you have empty subscribers sure, you also have subscribers that just enjoy your content and will rewatch in later months or even years. Even if it's just me, which I doubt, just thought that you would like to know (if you didn't already) that you've got silent people who love your content.
honestly fucking loving these vid rants. They're what brought me to your channel and I love the youtube poop atmosphere that they've got. Real fast paced shitposts, etc. Lovely shit
this actually opened my eyes on how subs =/= good channel. but it also makes me think about channels with low subscriber counts but high views on their videos for either controversial content or good content that no one really appreciates.
Thanks for the content. I may be a more irritating subscriber for many channels, because I have this habit of not watching many recent uploads until I'm sufficiently caught up on watching older content. I doubt those views on old vids amount to much of anything for the creator, but I also don't think I can adequately appreciate more recent videos unless I understand the direction/progression of a channel. In a sense, I'm seasoning myself as a viewer. Anyway, that's my perspective.
As for dead subscribers, don't these eventually get culled if they haven't viewed a channel for a time? I've heard of channels mysteriously losing subs all at once, and I have to wonder if they're just some of the long-dead subs getting sloughed off by some internal mechanism of the site. No idea how long that would take, if it's even the case, or if there's certain types of behaviors an account could exhibit to be more likely for this to happen with (such as simply not logging in to the account at all for whatever reason).
You know, rewatching this video.. Thank you Emp. After this video I realised i was subscribed to over 200 channels, most of which I watched like 1-2 videos and unsubscribed. Now i cut it down to just about 20 channels. I am no longer an empty subscriber. Thank you, and I will not unsubscribe.
EmpLemon: The man, the legend, the memelord! He's got the intelligence equal to the entirety of the Illuminati, but he uses his brain power for Youtube and memes! Fascinating....
Art is art. Do what fills the void in your heart, no matter how you please yourself (unless it's rape or murder). Just keep making videos, they're great
It's not any different than Instagram. I have empty followers all the time who who follow to entice you to follow them back and like their photos, then they unfollow you later. But I installed an app to help me keep track of that, and I only follow people whose content I actually like anyways.
As for your videos, I've been watching lately (passively listening at work as I'm typing away at my desk), and I have an appreciation for videos with decent insight into explaining topics that they cover that interest me.
Keep it up don't let the viewers determine your style just do what you want that's what people watch YouTube channels for the personality rather than the video itself
There is the posibility that you already know this by now, because im watching the video 5 years after it was uploaded,
but i want to say this anyways out of "i've never heard anyone talk about this issue".
i belive the reason people don't unsubscribe from channels, is not because they do nothing, but because subscriptions have become so irrelevant, to the point that the website relies fully on the algoritm to deliver videos to people, and people are way too busy watching those videos, insted of looking at the channels they subscribed to, and they dont even get notifications on these channels so they forget.
in my case, i've subscribed to a lot of channels, is just super easy to do, and channels swear that helps their channel grow so, if you enjoied the content, there is no reason to refuse, and unsubscribing will mean that people will have to go trought all those channels and willingly unsibscribe from them, and this only if they get reminded to do so, and is only a small chance that even if that was the case, no one will choose to lose time on that useless labor, when they have so much videos to watch.
basically, unless youtube implements a desition like the ring bell icon, but most drastic and implement an unsubscribe people from channels they dont watch feature, you ain't losing that fat anytime soon...
You've certainly ascended, and I'm better off for it. I found your hungrybox video a while ago, and went from there (10/10, have watched again). I've managed to learn (or you've taught) about a youtube subculture (ytp) without me ever needing to touch it. Plus my meme history knowledge is hitting all new highs of depravity. So... ya got that going for ya.
Also from what i can tell, It seems you became more successful in the end after the switch. Though it seems the views you get on videos can heavily change even still. But hey. It's something ain't it?
I just applied your empty subscriber equation to some other large, famous accounts I know of, EmpLemon. Here's the data, but beware, these are rough estimates (prepare to be triggered).
Pewdiepie: (49,341,905 sub) 92% Empty Sub Count based on an average 4,000,000 views per video.
Jacksepticeye: (13,271,978 subs) 92% Empty Sub Count based on an average 1,000,000 views per video.
Markiplier: (15,409,204 subs) 88% Empty Sub Count based on an average of 1,800,000 views per video.
CinnamonToastKen: (2,734,393 subs) 98% Empty Sub Count based on an average of 60,000 views per video.
Vsauce: (11,187,462 subs) 64% Empty Sub Count based on an average of 4,000,000 views per video (Emp did this one).
Game Theory: (7,267,212 subs) 31% Empty Sub Count based on an average of 5,000,000 views per video.
Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell: (3,248,027 subs) -2% Empty Sub Count based on an average of 4,000,000 views per video (this particular count is due to a small quantity of outliers with total views of 6,000,000 to 10,000,000+ views in specific videos as a result of the viral video phenomenon).
Gotta love statistics! Notice how the large, "popular" gaming channels such as Pewdiepie, Jacksepticeye, Markiplier and Cinnamontoastken have extremely high empty subscriber percentages, as opposed to the science/fact-based videos like Vsauce, Game Theory and Kurzgesagt (which in my knowledge breaks the record for lowest empty sub count)? This is due to something called information cascade, and it is why viral videos exist. If lots of people watch a video, then more people should be watching it, in the same way, if a lot of people are subscribed to a single channel, YouTube will encourage the average user to subscribe to that channel.
You make a good argument, Emp. Many YouTubers do compare their ego levels using the amount of subscribers they have. That's all good, but what they SHOULD be comparing their egos to is how low their Empty Sub Count is.
I just did a quick check on the channel "Theodd1sout" (who I am subscribed to due to enjoying his content) and he has 3,139,776 subs and averaging out his most 4 recent videos I got this amount of views: 3,862,176 (please calculate the percentage because I suck with percentages)
You know what groups has the most empty subscribers tho? Beaty gurus and make up people. Because fashion and make up works with trends that change rapidly a lot of those people will be able to capitalize on a trend that aligns with what they do best and gain a bunch of views and subscribers super fast, but as soon as the next trend is becoming popular their subs become as empty as a potato chips bag. It's super weird seeing this girls with subscriber counts over the millions and like 20k views per video.
VintageColaPC1 You make some very good points. I think that also the size of the channel is a factor. After all, it isn't very easy to please everyone who subscribes to you, especially if you have 50 MILLION LIKE PEWDIEPIE or close to 20 mil for some of those other channels you mentioned. Not everyone is going to like every video you put out, and if they just liked one or two of some videos that you put out that aren't like the rest of your videos, well then they will never watch your videos again.
it is there is more probability of being watched for more people if you do less uploads (take gaming channels as an example) anyways gaming channel are changing their subs evey day because they have no content really

Well, he's not wrong... But he isn't right either.
MatPat likes to use math in some of his theories, so maybe that's where that came from. Otherwise, you have a conspiracy channel that make leaps of logic that kinda do make sense at times, but unless proven right, are entirely ridiculous.
I think this has multiple variables and you can't actually know how many spam/dead accounts follow a channel only from subscriber-views analitics.
For example Kurgezast also has dead accounts following the channel or accounts that don't watch their videos anymore because they take too much time to make time to post new ones and they just forget they subscribed (and they don't have the notifications bell on).
Also, something that affects views on videos is when a YouTuber does several kinds of videos on their accounts and sometimes their audiences are segmented. For example on a Let's Play channel a person may only have subscribed for a certain gameplay and ignores the rest.
Some examples:
A lot of CinnamonToastKen's subscribers ignore his vlogs about his life (wife, daughter, painted his hair, removed a toenail đ).
Game Theory also hosts Gaijin Goomba and half of the audience actually hates him. They also ignore videos about story of gaming, but they don't hate the hosts.
Penguinz0 has one of the best ratios for this. His like to dislike is better than most channels. I suppose itâs possible but donât forget YouTube is infamous for not having videos show up in sub feeds. Although that hasnât happened to me.
I like your channel Emp w I like the long rants (30 minutes ->hours) that I can sit down and watch while drawing or doing some chores. And get a chuckle between the mundane shit of my life when your tangents hit that sweet spot of cynical criticism and humor. When I do sit down to watch them, I like catching all the small edits that go into a video. Often pausing and rewinding to catch shit that went on the screen too fast and getting a fuller sense of a joke that was just briefly in my peripheral before. I thought ytpoops were immature when they started coming around and my friends would spread them, but I've actually gone back and appreciated the craft of them and the techniques that go - and still go into styles of videos. Fuck, I watched an hourlong nascar upload of yours for some reason, despite having 0 interest for nascar. Am i just a mindless idiot that will sit down and drool at my desk? yes. But Im an idiot with standards. Keep doing you Emp. Your videos are a joy to watch, listen, and share.
Choosing your audience by creating the content you wanted was a wise decision in hindsight. Your latest content is highly informative, well researched, very interesting and entertaining, i hope you will continue! Ps: although you decided to drop ytp, i actually came to know about this art form and to respect it through your latest works, which is kind of ironic and fitting at the same time.
I think part of what causes so many channels to have empty subscribers is that youtube seems to encourage it. They apparently 'don't want to spam' subscribers by sending every single video a creator makes to those subscribers. Personally, I absolutely want to be spammed. It'll tell me that I'm still subscribed to a channel that I haven't watched in months and that I'm no longer interested in continuing to watch. It's entirely possible that some of your empty subscribers aren't aware they're still subscribed because your videos aren't coming up on their home page.
The other point I want to make is that the empty subscriber count might not necessarily be what you think. You assume that every single person that watched one video watched the rest, when it's entirely possible that some of them watched one but not the other. Personally, I don't watch your ytp's because they just aren't my style of humour but I do watch your commentaries because I think your position is often well-thought out and interesting (particularly your video on Donald Trump becoming president through memes). The same is true of a decent number of channels I'm subscribed to that produce more than one kind of content. No doubt you have subscribers that are the reverse of me and only watch your ytp's. It's still certainly true that you have empty subscribers, but that number might not be as clear cut and exact as you think.
To use the example of watchmojo and vsauce, vsauce produces pretty much the same sort of thing every time: Michael talks about something interesting for 10-20 minutes. The sort of person that likes one will likely like others, and while there may be some that are more interested in certain topics than others (and thus more likely to watch a video on that topic) I think in general if you like one vsauce video you'll like them all. Watchmojo, on the other hand, uses a scattergun approach on purpose so that they can try to appeal to different demographics, much like buzzfeed does. It's entirely possible that they have a similar amount of empty subscribers as vsauce, but that those subscribers views are split up among the videos that actually interest them. I don't really have any way of confirming any of this, however. Just food for thought.

I think this style of video is AMAZING! A perfect balance of serious commentary, and YTP. Keep up the good work!
I subbed after you started making content like this. And I prefer this stuff. Also helps that I like your edits and hilarious things going on in the videos.
I appreciate the content you put out. I can tell in your newer videos there is alot of time and effort put into them. I've probably watched your video on dale erndhart atleast 10 times
Hey Emplemon, I used to be an empty subscriber, I saw your behind the meme video and didn't watch much else, but I decided to watch more of your videos because I felt bad for being subbed and not doing anything about and low and behold I find this video, and I just wanted to appologize say that you are unappreciated for the content that I've seen, your ideas of the ins and outs of youtube and the general quality you seem to put into your videos despite the fact that it's not your full time job. rambling now but I just wanted to say thank you for making good content, being a real person (not one who just wants a bigger sub count for the sake of it) and I hope you continue making more thoughtful and insightful videos like these, cheers
First time watching one of your videos, and it was quite good - very interesting. I usually don't care enough about the internet to give these things a second thought. I'm subscribed to a bunch of shit channels that I never even watch just because I saw one decent video there before, but since then it's all crap. I really need to get into my garden and do some weeding. I've done it before, but it's about time to do it again. As for your channel, I think it probably appeals to a younger crowd, but maybe it's just me. I won't become an empty subscriber. Thanks, you've done me, and yourself a great service. I must say your integrity is something of a refreshment on the Web - a tangled Web full of vicious spiders.
I'm a new subscriber and I haven't watched the old videos yet. That probably contributes to the empty sub count on the older videos if you think about it... I personally don't like the loud sound effects, they hurt my ears, but you have a great insight on many topics so I'm looking forward for new videos
I unsubscribed years ago because your videos began resembling the loud, obnoxious âdank memeâ style that was so ubiquitous across social media at the time. I didnât know you sincerely enjoyed making these videos, I perceived them as your betrayal of all the inside jokes and humor in pre-2016 YTPs I had come to enjoy. Iâm happy youâre making the content you want, not content you feel obligated to create. Take care, Aaron.
Well, you're at 381k on 10/25/2018 and the video got 360k views, so pretty damn close to the mark. Granted the video's been up for two years, I just recently found you through a new channel, and I enjoy your rants. I'm iffy on YTP, but I'd probably watch it just to support you. So keep making videos you enjoy making, and I'll stick around for a while. Been binge watching your videos past like 24 hours nearly solid now lol.
Yeah watchmojo is obvious just making "content" for ad revenue. I continue to respect your opinions and admire your memeous operandi good sir. Keep it cracking.
I've thought about this before. I think it would be useful, for both viewer and creator, to have some kind of notification that says "hey, you have this subscription but you haven't actually watched any videos from them in about a year. Would you like to keep it?" But... do you trust YouTube to implement something like that sensibly? To resist the urge to just filter this, or exempt that, or push this and hide the other? I don't.
Emp lemon, I am so bummed I found you so late in the game. I love your work and insights. Are you done with Youtube? Hope you still read your comments. Anyways, I really like your work and hope that there is someplace you continue your creative and insightful work.
I think VSauce is B E T T E R than WatchMojo, you make a good point about how you can't neccessarily messure the success of a channel, hope your downward spiral's comfortable.
You taught me not to empty subscribe or even empty comment, and for that, I'm thankful. When I was going through my list of subs to remove channels I don't actually watch, I noticed that youtube has to ASK if you REALLY want to unsubscribe, while subscribing doesn't. It's instant. And easy. What a world.
Interesting education like this... I love it. Ever since the "YouTube has been on a downward spiral." video, I've always been interested in the internet's history, the way people think and act, and especially EmperorLemon's videos. Keep up this content man! They're the king! (for lack of a better joke)
Sticks out for Emp Lemon I actually enjoy your newer content because it is a discourse on a topic that isn't often brought up, or at the very least is from a different viewpoint with a certain unique manner of articulation.
Just bumping for respect, I'm a binger that re watches alot of content from certian channels. I can re watch any of your videos so long as I don't do it more than once a day lol. Internet historian is another rewatchable channel. It's been a long time since then huh? At least you still make content, more than can be said for other good channels.
Mariner1712 for these long-form videos YTP style editing simply does not cut it, it's annoying and makes you look like a mewling infant rather than someone actually trying to make an argument.
I don't know about everyone else, but listening to your rants is actually quite therapeutic and I wish you'd make more. It's weird thinking I've listed to some a dozen times, wish some of the old content creators I liked to listen to were still around. But thankfully I remembered all the chuckles I had from your YTP's and checked back in. Keep in keeping in Emp, you are more than epic đ
I really like the videos. Insightful and very creative. GReat content. Kepep up youre one of the reason im not doing anything for my university degree.
Finally someone who acknowledges this. I've always noticed that views were more important than subscribers, and that the most popular youtubers always had shit for views. I've known this, but I've never actually seen someone talk about it. Thanks for the well needed video.
"And nothing was the same" plays Just the Same by Gentle Giant But in all seriousness, this content is great and I am happy that I have found your channel a few years ago.
I'm a new subscriber.. I love videos that merge social political analysis with outrageous audio/visual filler.. it's like giving a big "fuck you" to convention.
See, that's the problem when you want to transform the content of your channel. Some audiences stay until the gradual reform has been completely implemented and the new content is established.
I know that this video is from 2016, but I feel like there is something to add to the story AS the empty subscriber. I have subscribed to over 10,000 other youtube channels, but barely watch even like 15 of them. It is hard to unsubscribe, because even if I am subscribed for someone for a specific niche of content that they make, if they change their content, and I stop watching, I usually don't see them ever again, even if they post something from the same niche that I subscribed for. There have only been a few cases of an old channel I was subscribed to coming up on my recommended page for the first time since I stopped watching.
So I noticed I lost a portion of my "empty" subscribers around November 1st after uploading some...interesting content because I'm totally getting burned out from the usual crap I've been uploading and am tired of it. I honestly want to focus more on animation and fun things instead of depressing shit...
I feel like I need to step away from this channel and make another channel for what I really want to do...
Most of your views and mine come from NON-SUBSCRIBERS.
Hell, I'm not even subscribed to you, Emp. But I love your shit. đ
Iâm on your Twitter as well as your YouTube and I been watching since 2010 donât really care about the changes because so far they been pretty intriguing to watch man, keep up the good work!
Not to be a buzzkill, but channels that make less trendy videos, videos you can always return to, tend to accumulate views over the year. Guess the calories are measured during the first week or so
I'm not a creator, but I had basically all the same thoughts about Channel Success vs Subscriber count. This being 4 years old, your thoughts on the matter have probably progressed somewhat. But maybe I can still offer a little insight from inside the box, as an avid content consumer. I subscribe to a great many channels simply because I see value in them, but not because I expect to watch every video. Actually that would be impossible; I think I'm nearing 200 subscriptions currently! I look at adding a channel subscription as similar to adding a TV channel to a cable package (back in the old days, if it were free!). Each one is simply "I see talent and quality here, I'll probably want to see more from this channel sometime", not "I'm now going to watch everything this channel produces". Another factor that dawned on me recently is that I think YouTube channels are growing faster than users. I've noticed (I think) a clear drop across the board over the past ~year on most large channels that used to get consistently high view counts on their new videos. Maybe this is an artifact of the channels I tend to watch, but I do watch a tonne across a broad spectrum. Even "populist trashy" channels, as I'd consider them, that used to get a million views within a week on a new video, are now getting ~1/2 to 1/3 of that, it seems. And I hypothesize that this is because, as that platform matures, each user is splitting their time across a broader and broader range of content, in smaller slices. Ontop of all this is the role that the algorithm plays. It's a fickle bitch and I hate relying on it, but it's the only practical way to sift through content and keep finding the most interesting stuff (although I hate the way it prefers whatever I've watched most recently!). I almost never click the bell, but instead subscribe with the assumption I'll eventually watch some of that content, some day. Your channel is a great example; I subscribed ~1.5 years ago when I heard Internet Historian shout out your quality. So I looked up your channel, poked through your videos a bit and decided you had interesting content, and subscribed. But then I only watched a handful of your videos, and never within the first few weeks of them coming out. Until the past couple months, where I've steadily worked through your back catalogue at a rate of a couple videos per week. As you said, we're all individuals, and I realise I'm perhaps at the far end of the spectrum when it comes to how I consume content. But at the same time, I think the "empty subscriber" model is probably at the other extreme of the spectrum. Certainly those people & accounts exist, but I'd roughly estimate they make up less than half of the "missing views" on new videos, when compared to subscriber count. The rest lie somewhere in between, they'll probably still watch some of your content, some of the time, but not necessarily immediately after the video comes out, and certainly not every video. I hope that helps shed a little extra insight into what's going on, and makes you a little less frustrated at the lack of views compared to subscribers. Sure, some probably should unsubscribe as they're idiots who won't watch your newer, more evolved content (and a great many are probably just dead accounts that have been forgotten, but Google hasn't closed). But still there are tonnes who still like what you produce and intend to watch more of your content eventually, just not necessarily every video, or immediately after they're released.
I didn't even discover you until after you started with the documentary style stuff. And while I love the flashes of YTP mixed within them, I probably would not be here if it was only the YTPs.
4:48-5:05 is very slightly true for me, as in my relationship with my 20 sum subscribers, 2-4 Iâve met in person and talked to, 10-14 I kinda know what they look like, talked to them or at least type chat, and know what kinda person they are, the rest I either vaguely interacted with online, know what their channel icon looks like, or at least got an opinion out of them some way or another, I think only about half a dozen of my subscribers I have no idea what they are like, or any thing at all about them,
1 lik 4 very gramer error cplz it will help my starving 89 children,,,,,,
Haha, I'm probably the most backward viewer on youtube. Before I subscribe to a someone, I've often already been watching their videos for months. I'm oftentimes (including here) the opposite of an empty subscriber, a full non-subscriber if you will. Also, I like the comment you made about subscribers being real human beings. All viewers have only so much time to watch videos so if people lose interest in a channel, the youtuber shouldn't be angry about it. We all have our own lives and decide for ourselves how to spend our time.
Or there's always the option of watching content without subscribing. If the content is really good and I like to see more (other than what the algorithm pumps out) then I subscribe. There are some channels, this included, where I check in every once in a while.
never would I have thought that someone would actually want any person even if they are just 8 year olds wanting more ytps to unsubscribe, but here we are
So basically in this video you are telling your viewers to either watch all of your videos or none. No middle ground. An average WatchMojo subscriber doesn't have time to watch all their videos, but they may watch something about what they're interested in, be it moustaches, funny hats or Toy Story.
I used to watch your stuff with my brother when I was younger, and now I still do, even though you make completely different content, and to be honest if you still made YouTube poops I wouldn't watch your channel.
A reason I believe everyone has empty subscribers is because, personally, I have a lot of creators I'm subscribed to and I don't get around to watching them all.
I agree, but alot of the time people will literally just forget about a channel they subscribed to and YouTube will never show them videos from that channel.especially doesn't help that most people are too lazy to look for specific channels to watch and only go by their recommended section. Overall great video
This video actually helped me think hard about the current state of youtube. I've watched all the "rant" videos and all of them are great and dig up some problems that people seem to want to avoid, but this one... this one made me think real hard. Good job Emp, keep it up! I am not an empty subscriber and actively enjoy your content! :P
*Realises YouTube hid the video from me for a year until I started scrolling through all videos to see if I missed any :/
With everyone saying "remember to subscribe" at the beginning of their videos, that subscribe button is getting more clicks. It's proven that saying "subscribe" at the beginning is more effective, but it's annoying for frequent viewers of your video. But, I think that's coming from people thinking the subscribe button is a replacement for the like button. People no longer subscribe because they want to see more of your videos; they subscribe because they feel like they're supposed to because they liked 1 video from you that the algorithm just had them stumble upon.
Keep in mind that a most subs only watch some of your videos. With vsauce vs watchmojo, the difference is quantity. If you upload more sparsely, people are more likely to view the occasional video, hence why vsauce gets more views per video. If you have a 90% empty subscriber rate (as you measure it) but each sub watches on average 10% of your videos, doing the math, you technically have no actual empty subscribers.
I really enjoy your video's. I had a very though time enjoying youtube lately but you changed that, sonce there is actual thought behind your video's. So yeah... Good work
I found this channel recently when it got mentioned as a response of mine in another video referencing Stanislav Petrov, so I decided to have a look - I'm yet to watch your Petrov video, as I've been checking your video list from oldest to newest. Most of it being YTP, a form I don't really "get" (must be the age, I guess), I've been skipping those, but this looked interesting, and it mostly delivers, so I'm curious to see how your stuff has evolved since. On the subscriber issue, I find it interesting that you can actually hide your subscriber amount, which can be useful both if you're kinda starting out and mitigating newbie stigma, but also devaluing the measuring of your output by the amount of people that lciked a button once, and mostly letting the videos and their individual view counts and comments speak for themselves - with the bell thing, it's not like subscribing get new videos from the channels necessarily suggested to you either. Still, for a couple of channels from my country which could use a bit more attention yet I don't watch all that much but I want to help out in some way I end up subscribing anyway - maybe on some level I'm part of the problem, but hopefully in a minor way, it's not like I'm doing it to already popular channels anyway.
Cross the Multiverse EmpLemons videos have evolved over time, and currently theyâre more of a commentary type video essay with editing style inspired by his old YTP work (although itâs becoming less and less like YTP). Itâs really good stuff if you ask me, and the channel has history in controversy worth exploring, however his Stanislav Petrov video is his newest video. Itâs also the most streamlined in terms of editing and formatting.
I actually think Youtube was trying to fix this by "allegedly" unsubscribing people from channels. But maybe I am to hopeful if it comes to youtubes motives...
Hey man. I have been on a rabbit hole dive of you channel the last few days. I don't really subscribe to much because I tend to find channels I like and just remember them. I think the constant barrage of "SUBSCRIBE AND RING MY GD BELL!" just makes me not do it. Point is even though I'm not subscribed I like your videos. Keep doing what you are doing.
I think people subscribe for a very specific video types. If the channel is varied, a portion of the subs stays for one topic, another portion for a different topic. So the "empty subs" number is much lower. So if someone does cat videos, food review videos and cooking recipes and uploads the videos one of each every week, some subs will only watch cat videos, some will watch only food reviews, and some would watch only recipes. Only a small portion wouldn't watch any of the videos, and some subs may watch any combination of the topics.
I know this video is already, but i just have to voice my appreciation of your music taste. Never before have i heard Gentle Giant in a youtube video, gg mate.
Im not into ytp. I like the analysis like this one, also the commentary and in those videos the heavy meme stuff is good too. Meaning I dont watch most of your stuff.
For the most part I just accept that most youtube comment sections are a disgusting cesspool of very ignorant and braindead comments. But there are some comment sections I have observed that are genuinely funny or supportive. This video made me think if videogamedunkey's comment sections, where most of the comments reference running jokes on the channel, and more light hearted than brain dead. I liked the video and it made me make the connection that a youtuber can be aware enough to build a good fanbase and somehow curate a smarter comment section.
@peban so it's either write up a 200 word essay on the duality of man in relation to the content of youtube video or don't say anything at all?
I don't think that a comment needs to be some deep, meaningful discussion. laughing and quoting shouldn't be looked-down-upon.
I mean, if you want to be a 5-head big brain intellectual, go ahead. but belittling a lot of people by saying "you have nothing interesting to say so dont say anything at all" is pretty shitty and elitist.
any interaction on a youtube video that's isn't hate speech is good for the content creator and their audience.
and your comparison with the restaurant meal is not a very good one. a lot of people joke around and quote funny lines from videos, it's the same with movies or books. no human is like "oh i like when character X said Y". that's a stilted and unnatural way of speaking. quotes are perfect because it's quick and to the point. not every interaction with content needs to be book report level quality.
I think I know why this whole empty sub thing is happening. Because many people are subscribed to multiple people, and many creators make one video a day, sometimes they canât watch some of their subscriptions and/or forget about them. Thatâs just a guess though.
ContraPoints is a YouTuber I know who actually seems to have zero empty subscribers. Her recent videos average around 1.4 million views, with 884,000 subscribers. Then again tho her channel is basically at this point the epitome of quality over quantity; she only uploads like once every two months. But that is still very interesting.
This is the first time one of your videos has ever come up on my feed. I'd probably watch more if they came up more often but frankly I'm not a big enough fan to search you out if it's not right in front of my face.
Youâve started doing video essays. Picking somewhat discombobulated topics, theyâre usually not related to eachother but itâs become a pretty consistent shtick for you.
The YouTube poop aspects of your videos can be comedic, or unfunny.
This is shit! Beautiful, glorious shit. Think about it. Even though shit is shit, somewhere out there exists an admirable, perfect shit. This is that shit. Glad to call myself a new subscriber. Found your channel a couple days ago. Youâre a boss. Keep your finger on the pulse. Glad to see you doing so well now. About 2 years after this video was posted.
I was an empty subscriber for a long time now. I don't know, something about your videos started to put me off (triggered). Lol, I thought that Frying Dory was a thing, because I never actually opened it. And to be honest. I am subscribed to a bunch of channels but I am able to watch about 10% of the videos. I started to even add interesting things to watch later playlist and in a year's quarter it gathered 400 videos. And of course I do not watch only the channels that I am subscribed to. It is like reading the news. I want to know more, so I broaden my "search" but I actually watch/read only those most interesting to me.
However from my perspective I have seen something in your channel that, although I was not super interested in watching your videos then, I still wanted to "keep in touch"? Please keep that in mind, because I would not like to lose you from my feed.
I came back because of your video about NASCAR (here, thanks to YT suggestions!) and started watching some older videos. They are great. I am really happy that I started watching the videos again. So by saying to me to unsubscribe, you gained an active user back,.
i am amazed how i noticed that half a year before i watched this video, views matter more than subs and it feels great to have views count more than sub count and most importantly foreshadowing how common it is to have ghost subs
"Yo, YouTube, you should make some way to purge empty subscribers." "Oh so you want random people to be unsubscribed?" "Well... those who aren't regular viewers, sure." "..." "...uh, what are you-" "Congrats! Your channel has been deleted."
I know this video is 2 years old, but I feel like a lot of people who subbed to you didn't realize you changed most of your content from YTP's to other things and may have not clicked on your vids because of that.
Im not a fan of the "LOUD NOISES XD" type of YTP and i have a friend who literally got life-long tinnitus because of them, but i enjoy your newer content
I'm subbed to them but I literally only watch the reactions of the things I'm interested in, which has become so much less over the past 2 years, I pretty much only watch the Kpop reactions and some of the elders stuff since it's kinda interesting to see how they react to our 'modern media/entertainment' like the VR reactions lol. Idk how this was an answer tobyour question either, ok? I just like to shit out my opinions when no ones asking.
For me, I have channels that I love and will check often. Others I also like a lot but will forget about, so I hit the notification bell. But there are others that I would need to be in the mood for - that's when they sit on my sub list with notifications off. So, I'll just occassionally pick one and be like "oh, they posted 7 new videos since I was last here... That 1 looks cool."

the best content is made when the creators are putting whatever they want in it and are making it because they want to, and are not trying to actively please their fanbase, like you said in your video about rick and morty, seasons 1 and 2 were great because they werenât actively trying to pander towards fans, when you do that your work more often than not tends to lose itâs soul because the creators feel less motivated to make it because they are merely doing it for fans and more often than not they tend to rush through their work more when they do that, and I honestly wish more people would question the state of their fanbase like you did
The main page of Youtube is the "Home" tab, and not the "Subscribers" tab, and its already filled with videos that the algorithm thinks you would like to watch. These videos might be from someone who you are subscribed to, or might not be. But the fact that there are already a bunch of good enough videos on the front page, tailered to your tastes, disincentivises people from clicking the subscribers tab.
Its enought to not click on your videos in the home screen a couple times for the algorithm to recognise, that you are no longer interested in that channel's content, and after that, does not even recommend it.
People's viewing habits can change for a variety of reasons, and they might grow up, don't have time to watch youtube, family responsibilities, might get bored of certain types of content, simply forget you exist, you changing the channel's direction and people don't like the new, but still be subscribed in hopes of the old direction returning. Hell, people might just lose their yt account and decide to create a new one.
IMO all subscribers are dead subscribers ever since youtube changed the main page from showing chronologically the channels you are subscribed to, to the algorithm driven home page
I really wish your modern videos went back to the editing style of videos like these. I know that would take a lot of work, and not all of your modern videos should have this editing style (The Wizard of Oz video is an example of where it doesn't fit). But I miss this style.
I watched Never Ever will there be another Dale Earnhardt, then the Never Ever Spongebob one, and then the one about Stanislav Petrov and I felt required to sub at that point. They were masterpieces.
Itâs been a few years and your subscribers have gone up quite a deal from that 127,000 (610,000 or smth now), but you know whatâs great about your downward spiral? Think of it like a slide. More fun sliding down it than climbing to the top.
How to help Emp: Watch him while unsubscribed, then you make up for the empty subscribers who are subscribed but not watching. (I know this is three years old, I don't care, lmao).
Bruh as of rn you have a better ratio than watchmojo. Your legit wonderful. Do more. Ytp is great and so are these non poops, I like the smart style with stupid stuff.
Actually, EmpLemon. I do like your content and whatnot, I generally will like it and never comment because I usually never have the time to place either a constructive criticism or supportive comment/statement about the video. Oh, another reason why I don't bother commenting is goddamn lefty pieces of shit reporting anyone for one wrong comment then YouTube terminating channels over it.
I just watch videos and like them, then my days passes. So yeah, this is probably one of those rare moments I do place a comment, even on an old video like this, and tell you the truth. Your videos are great because they're informative and it's pretty high quality, so there's actual replayability.
You also have to take into account subscriber subscribees---who THEY are subscribed to. If they are subscribed to 1,000 different people, and each maker puts out one video a day (hypothetically), that is 1,000 videos to watch EVERY day. Let's also assume each one is engaging enough for the subscriber to want to watch, and they each fall in 10 minutes a piece. That is 166.6 hours a day. Youtube in itself is an over-saturated market, and mainly it comes down to quality, time, and luck. I have almost 170 subscriptions, and I watch maybe 5 subscribers a day if I am lucky. People do have to work for a living and have other commitments in life lol. Nothing against good quality Youtubers, but mainly it is a game of chance and luck.
Well now in 2019, you got 300K more subscribers than you did when you made this... Guess your plan to get people to unsubscribe didn't really work huh... :P
A subscriber is a person who has informed Youtube that they want to be kept up to date on what you upload. It bears no direct relation to viewership whatsoever if only because it's commonplace for a Youtube user to haphazardly subscribe to hundreds of different channels and yet there are only 24-hours in a day.
Even if someone is interested in your channel, they may only be attracted to specific content, so any other videos you upload may get passed up. Just because someone's only interested in one of maybe several projects you may have going on doesn't mean they're not an active member of the audience.
The "quality" of a subscriber varies tremendously. A bobble-headed sheep person who subscribes because the dolt onscreen told him to is going to be subscribed to everyone so only the most influential channels are going to rise above the unfiltered sewage stream of his inbox. On the other hand, a more discerning viewer who only subscribes to creators who meet his exacting standards as an internet connoisseur is more likely to be into you as a niche and therefore a consistent viewer.
 Subscribers are still important because the represent a kind of "vote of confidence" on the part of the audience even though detractors may just as well subscribe in order to stay posted too. For this reason I think the subscription system should be replaced with the option of liking or disliking a channel and then receiving updates based on that since is basically serves the same function as rating a video. This creates the potential for channels to get a feel for whether or not they're being hatewatched in addition to the comments.
Not sure if you're popular enough to do this, but you could do what Jim does and just make a new account every now and then. People that want to watch your content will actively search for your newest stuff either on youtube or forums.
For what it's worth, I subscribed after watching the Nascar video... and I'd had any interest in it or knew of dale earnheardt prior to watching.
I feel like there are a lot of dead subscribers who watched this video are saying "Yeah! Death to the dead subscribers!" because this is the only video they've watched in a while, yet they think that they're active.
Pooperscoo 101, in the real world, everyone is a hypocrite. Only a smaller version of everyone will come to realise it and be part of the bigger version of everyone and the cycle continues.
So much for your empty subs lol, love your videos man

Well, emp using your exact formula for empty subscribers. Based on your average views for your five most recent videos, You have a empty subscriber rate of ~14%.
+Lei-FeilsHere W-what? Who exactly are you directing your anger to? Nobody in this comment thread said anything negative. Did you somehow take what I said as "EmpLemon sucks for not making Frying Dory"? I'm honestly confused here.
Lee I don't know. For realism, I think. I was genuinely confused why CheesyGeese989 was upset. I see now how he must've taken what I said out of context, when I was only echoing what Emp said himself in this video. He has around 100,000 empty subs and wishes he didn't.
i was thinking the same thing when i saw that pewdiepie has litterally the most subscribers in youtube but his videos only average around one million veiws.
also my other account is subscribed to roughly two thousand or three thousand different channels yet only a select few is displayed on my homepage, i realized that what youtube shows me is based on watch time so i moved over to the subscriber page that shows me the latest video posted by a youtuber im subscribed too.
emplemon is pretty popular on my alt account since i dont use it much.
I feel like the empty subscribers would be eliminated if YT got rid of the stupid bell and made it so being subscribed to a channel actually put it in your feed. You know, like how a subscription works.
EmpLemon if you stop having fun doing YouTube do something fun that you like it shows you have passion for your YouTube Channel. The people who say to keep doing the same thing over and over till it feels like a long road trip can go bugger themselves.
That One Friendly, that actually is exactly what he's doing. He's made the content shift from YTP's to cynical video essay's since 2016 (as exactly stated in the video).
To which many will think "N O S H I T S H E R L O C K "
Finally someone noticed. It mildly infuriates me to see how PewdiePie almost has 100 millions subscribers when his videos only get a couple of million views. Still a lot of views, but not compared to his sub count.
Your videos have made me conjure up a theory that you and some other YouTubers are affiliated with Bruva Alfabusaâs âIf The Emperor Had A Text To Speech Deviceâ in one way ore another
I almost wish I didnât watch this vid because it makes me really dislike whenever a content creator does a 20-30 second bit asking someone to subscribe in every video. I mean, yeah, it does look better for them, and obviously they want to keep up their growth, but I they really donât need to constantly do it.
Sup. I just started to watch your channel recently and this video poped out in my feed. Do you still think that your channel has like an insane amount of "empty suscribers" or no?
Btw great content. I have never watched your poops tho, but that's bcuz my frist language is spanish so I stick to YTPH that I found easier to understand and laugh at.
This is the reason why I will watch and like tons of videos from someone to the point they regularly show up at the top of my recommended but never subscribe, I ask myself first if I can see myself actually watching at least most of what they make from that point onward. If I can't, I simply don't subscribe. Now excuse me while I go unsub from some channels I haven't watched a video from in 5 months, and not because they haven't been uploading.
You are telling your empty subs to unsubscribe, but how are they going to know that they need to unsubscribe if they are empty subs and don't watch you?
Itâs the self fulfilling prophecy. Emperor lemon tries to get people to unsubscribe but they donât watch any of his videos so they never unsubscribe.
Your videos can be a little jarring due to the extreme smash cuts. It seems that you are going for a more... "awesome show" or "robot chicken" random vibe. While this can be entertaining, when over done it can be jarring. Great information in the video, good editing, just tone down the smash cuts a bit. As a creator, I have a question for you: I tend not to subscribe to anyone. Once I sub to a channel I tend to see less of their videos in my suggested feed. For example. I am not subbed to you. Would you feel it better if someone like me did not subscribe?
Hey so I'm not a huge YTP fan, but I do like your commentary. So I don't watch your YTP, but I'll watch some of your videos I find are interesting (usually the commentary ones). So I think a number of subscribers are just "partially" empty. But I do think there are a number of subscribers that are truly empty as you say it as well. It's a complicated number.
Interesting video. I am, in fact, an empty subscriber. Not because I dislike your content. I like that weird quirky content now and then. It's this Pavlovian way I find myself clicking the subscribe button. I keep hearing "like and subscribe" over and over again and if I even remotely liked the content there is a good chance I will sub. I don't sub to every channel who's videos I like but I am subbed to way more channels than I can reasonably watch. I'm going to make an effort to unsub a few of these channel. Yours will not be one of them. I still catch a video of yours on occasion.
been subbed since the traptastic sextravaganza and I haven't even thought of unsubbing since, especially with your never ever series. that shit is absolute gold
ItalianStallion76 My esteem for Emp is starting to go in a downward spiral inspirationally because his originality is starting to deteriorate completely.
@EmpLemon Congrats; your reverse-psychological strategy of telling us about the intensified downward spiral has worked upward-spirally and you have now reached over 130K subscribers miraculously
I did originally sub to you for Youtube Poop. I stopped watching your videos around the time you uploaded this video, because I was I actually enjoyed your content and respected you as a creator, and hoped I would start to enjoy watching your videos in the future. And I do.
I see a lot of youtubers lose a lot of subs when they decide to get political one way or another. Particularly when you are a channel that has nothing to do with politics. I know I don't want to hear it. I've unsubbed from a few channels this past election cycle because they felt the need to interject their opinions constantly on channels that had nothing to do with politics.
Suicidal 30something some channels are like this. Boogie2988 is a fair example, however I stayed subbed because I like him for who he is, not his ideology.
I had people congratulating me when I passed 1k subs a few months back, but my videos still tend to get less than 100 views, so it doesn't really seem to matter all that much.
emp you have an intrinsic understanding of marketing and how to use analytics, repetition to promote, might not be ur favourite idea but get a job in marketing
your youtube poops are honestly p good! i have no idea how the hecc ppl edit that kinda stuffs, but u seem to be good at it however, i actually like your long talky vids more? idk why rly tho. maybe its just my taste i content or somin but i much perfer these kinda vids. basically my point is dw, ppl still like ur stuffs and just make stuffs that makes u happy
I think the problem is that a lot of YouTubers push like and subscribe. Looking for that sub so much that they forget they want substance and not a number. That wouldn't be an issue, but I think the YouTube accounts with the most empty subs push like and subscribe IMMEDIATELY. Like Mojo will want you to sub on the first video you watch from them, Vsauce won't do that, they know they need substance to get the sub.
Whenever I find a YouTuber I like, it takes about like 20+ videos before I actually sub. My sub represents me saying "you know what? I like your stuff and genuinely look forward to new content, if you get a new video, I am certain that I will want to know about it"
I don't make that judgement on the first video ever. I'm not a sub slut lol. I'll only give a freebie sub if you do something specifically to please a request I made in a comment, you're actually somebody I know, or something like that.
Btw, like your videos, you win my sub as of this video.
Why is there not an option to sort through your subscribers by how long itâs been since they watched your videos and let you unsubscribe for them? This would be such a niche feature but so nice for those who want it.
I subscribe to channels that upload "quality" content(high effort videos) like this channel or jontron. Not that I don't enjoy other videos but I don't want low quality daily uploads in my sub box
5:10 - I usually put Pineapple juice in my homemade BBQ sauce anyways, so when I had a BBQ pineapple pizza.............................
I didn't really mind, TBH - I liked it, but wouldn't have got it, if I had been the one who bought the pies... The dude had imagination tho, props to my homie!
This is still very well thought out, I'm absolutely suprised that this video is still very relevant today. And looking back, this video will probably still be relevant information far off into the future. I will always praise this video for being a timeless gem on youtube.
I love that you completely rectified the problem, not by removing subscribers, but by making such high quality content that so many people subscribed the amount of empty ones was diminished, and that you make such good content you actually have a negative empty sub count by the methods you used to calculate it. Beautiful.
You can easily find them. If a check marked channel commented on a popular or trending video. If it has less than ~500k subscribers, then that channel is dead if the recent uploads are in the 5 digits or low 6 digits.
It's just like how Santa delivers presents to all the boys and girls on Christmas, but a good percentage of those boys and girls don't actually believe in Santa.
This video actually made me resubscribe. I had unsubbed before the DOWNWARD SPIRAL began, as the comment section was becoming far too cancerous, but now I have decided to try and contribute once again.
I thought you might like to know I watch videos from all time periods of your channel. There are people like me I'm guessing but I'm not sure how many. I enjoyed most of your shit through the years. I just don't get very vocal.
Solar sands has got a really low empty subscriber ratio, and I wonder how because he changed his channel from deviantart type discussion videos, much longer and deeper videos on other topics
Why not just measure success based off views or watch time? People that judge you based off subscriber count donât matter. What matters is that people enjoy your videos.
The damn notification bell doesnât help this at all If it was still always enabled when you subscribe, then at least they could be annoyed into unsubscribing
you're funny as fuck, why would anyone sub to you and not watch your content hahahahahhahahaha. good vid, keep up the good work even though im watching this nearly 3 years after it was posted
I used to think pineapple on pizza is OK, then this Italian started explaining sweets should not mix with savoury and I started to question: maybe pineapple really do not belong to pizzas
I have watched a lot of youtube. Iâve watched the bad and the good but trust me this guy is good. He makes like boarderline documantaryâs but more personal
Gonna be honest i really enjoy your video essays and i subbed pretty much to see when you drop a new one but i donât watch anything else. Do you want people like me to unsub since i donât watch any of your other vids?
Great video, but there's just one thing I don't completely understand (and probably won't get an answer to). If all these empty subscribers don'y watch your videos, why are they still subscribed? Wouldn't it just be easier to unsubscribe and get rid of the videos they don't watch from their sub feed?
It reminds me when people bitch and moan when a channel "spams" videos, like for example a music channel posts a few songs from a new album in a row; but then these same subscribers just sit and stay subscribed to other channels they don't actually watch.
Or they're just stubbornly waiting for your next Pixar poop and/or Frying Dorothy. 'Member Pixar poops?
They could go outside. WAIT WAIT SORRY! THE KIDS IN THIS GENERATION CAN'T GO OUTSIDE BECAUSE THEN THEY WILL CATCH A COLD OR SOME SHIT AND THEIR MOM WILL DEMAND TO SPEAK WITH MOTHER NATURE'S MANAGER AND THREATEN TO SUE HIM IF HE DOESN'T GIVE HER COMPENSATION.
@Wrath's Turntable Time Machine Rocksmash Attack (AKA The Mysterious Reuploader, Ace-edo Mask!) also, at the same time you made that reply, I happened to be watching Cr1tiKal's video on Joey salads sending urine to an 8-year-old. He remarked that doing such could put him on a sex offender list. (I mean, it's pretty screwed nowadays since you can say that a baby is cute and get put on that list, but still...)
My guess is that they may not want to miss the content that they are looking for so they stay in hopes of getting the content they're looking for. I can honestly say i may be in that category but i try to be open minded and see his more person videos. I've grown old of most YTPs so I guess this is a change I'm willing to see. and another honesty thing is that I don't even watch all the people I subscribe to. I look through a massive pool of videos that I think I should watch. Typically if a channel starts almost only using bad practices of reeling people in I unsubscribe. For example, Pewdiepie: when i was younger i used to watch his videos for entertainment. But as his humor gradually turned into complete vulgar and downright unclever i started getting sick of his content. Not only did his quality go down but his thumbnails and titles started veering towards vulgar clickbait I unsubscribed.
CapedMario 64 well remember, the sub feed is also broken. it's never really there and as long as its trending to other people; it will show up. say shrek daddy 64 is your favorite youtuber. you obviously want to see all of his videos in your sub feed. but if justin beiber just hit 200,000 veiws in 2minutes last hour. his videos will show up before your boi shreik.
You do realize that if you don't watch a youtuber for long enough...their videos just flat out won't show up! Your telling youtube you don't care about their content so thus they don't promote it! :/ (I'm subscribed to like 300+ people so I would know how this works...)
CapedMario 64 Because youtubes algorithms know they aren't engaged anymore and so the videos won't show up in their sub box so they just forget about t
In actuality, it's easier to NOT unsubscribe. If you don't care about the youtuber anymore, you don't care enough to unsub, and their videos just keep coming to your subscription box while you just keep ignoring them.
I'm subbed to like 200 youtubers. Most of which don't even upload anymore.
@Paladin Luke Well one of the guys I've been subbed to who hasn't uploaded in a year or two just uploaded a video yesterday that turned out pretty good. And that kind of possibility is what I usually stay for.
CapedMario 64 if you watch new videos then their videos go away, thus forgetting to unsubscribe because you forgot about the videos (probably because YouTube won't recommend them to me)
High quality youtuber vs low quality youtuber: Mark Rober vs 5 shitty crafts
Mark: -12 vids a year - 30-80M views a vid -12.8M subs -over -100% empty subscribers (yes its fucking negative xD) 5 shitty crafts: -1460 vids a year -300k views a vid -67.4M subs -99.6% empty subscribers
So, quite often I'll see a video from someone I've never seen before. I'll throw them a sub, and then promptly fuck off it's not that I don't like their stuff, I just want them to feel good, like, "yeah hi, i like your video, here ya go, +1 sub" and then, if i see them upload in the future, i might check it out, but 95% of the time i don't. I have like 1000 channels I'm subscribed to, but i only watch 15 of them. I make time for the channels I like, and only give pity subs to the channels I tolerate. 85% of them don't even show up in my notifications, and i ignore 90% of my notifications anyway.
it's simple. pineapple on pizza is good if it's good pineapple. not that low-quality pizza hut shit pineapple. it helps if the pizza is particularly salty. sweet + salty is automatically a winning flavor combination
I tell ya about "empty subscribers" You see as far as I go I only sub until I lose interest then I tell myself that eventually I will watch the channel but ultimately don't so at the end of each year I unsub from all the channels I know I don't watch and I am left with only channels that I like. I find this technique good for bringing in the New year and it helps me find new content creators. I also know that some people outgrow channels or find a different similar channel that they like more but as to why they don't unsub well I can't really say.
Don't worry bud, we stand by you if you want to know more about me I called behind the meme an faggot and for personal life I'll talk about my Latvian Legion connections. my mom side of the family comes from Europe and then the the Baltic countries then Latvia . My great grandpa was apart of the Latvian Legion but Germany needed more people for industrial purposes and they went to Germany and after the war they went to America and my great grandpa made a letter to government and we still have. They went to Florida and he became an showfer (I don't know how to spell it). And then they went to Wisconsin and I live in Milwaukee, to settle down and before they had an son in Europe but he died and then they had another son his still alive and my grandma who was born before them she's still alive. And I made an platoon called the Latvian Legion in honor of the 1st Latvia ( 15th granadiers divisions) and the 2th Latvian(19th granadiers division) and other forces that fought against the USSR. And they are not bad they fought for Latvia, not for the Germans. And they Couldn't go against orders they still had the same rules of the SS. The Russians are trying to make look bad but they aren't they fought for Latvia.
Whoever hates Pineapple on Pizza never had a good one. The point is to have a small amount of Pineapple, but a lot of Ham and Cheese. The salty Ham and Cheese then harmomizes in a really weird way with the sweet Pineapple. If the pieces are really large or sour it tastes like garbage.
Late to the party, but that's some good self-reflected fecal matter here. Not planning to polish your ego, but I enjoy for once seeing a youtuber pursuing in-depth thought regarding their beloved subscriber count. It's funny how confidently you can say "thanks for unsubscribing". :D Cheers!
Now that I think about it, it seems a lot of sites with subscriber counts have this sort of issue. But why? What purpose does it serve someone to make a bot account and subscribe to literally every YT channel out there? Is it YouTube, botting accounts so their website looks better than it actually is? Or perhaps to motivate the big guys? Who knows?
And on a side note, I actually do enjoy your new content. Anything is better when the person making it enjoys doing so, and I honestly like your videos a lot more now than I did back when I subbed in 2014. Keep doing you, Emp!

THEORY TIME! (You can skip to the conclusion if you want it somewhat the same as the video's vsauce v watchmojo thing)
PROBLEM So applying the empty sub logic to let's say...the most subbed person in youtube a.k.a pewdiepie a.k.a felix who uploads daily and with 71+million subs then let's compare it who doesn't upload daily like an...animator. test subject, theodd1sout having 9+ million subs5.
ANALYSIS Comparing their views 4 weeks ago (to be fair for felix), felix hit 11 million with his video on black woman think she's white with dr.phil while james's (theodd1sout) video scary monsters hit 7.9 million. It looks like felix won the title "most famous youtuber*. But applying the emplemon's theory on sub activity (sorry it's the best i can do for 3 mins) felix having 71+ million subs with only 11 million views and james with 9 million subs with 8 million views we can conclude that james won said title even with the disadvatage on subs, views and popularity it's safe to say that the reason why james won is because it panders to the general audience of youtube
SOLUTION with emplemon's theory on sub activity we can confirm that the theory most used, the general parallels of view-sub theory (i really need to learn more about naming things) is in fact outdated and needed to be replaced.
CONCLUSION pewdiepie is not really that popular anymore.story time animations are getting popular is because they are relatable, Because it's something they've also experienced or saw at least once. And that's the problem viewers (not an exception here) wanted to connect so much to everyone including their idols that whatever hip thing is they'll turn a 180 and forget the creators they once enjoyed just to connect with someone with the same interest.pewdiepie isn't that relatable anymore. Sure we all laughed at memes and love drama/beef with commentaries but that's all he has to offer. His own viewers don't even relate to him anymore judging by majority of the comments because what is there they can associate themselves with felix? I know i dont have even one but with storytime animators? It seems like every-fucking-body is a fucking socially akward introverted weird person with a colorful personality hidden. So in the end indie content creators suffers a dilema, whether or not to change for the better or worse because as trends come and go so do they
Or 98% of your subscribers do watch your videos but most of them are picky so they only pick certain videos they watch. The way I see it, if you have 200k subscribers and 100k subscribers of your subscribers watch one video on your channel then that specific number of people like that specific video on your channel, the other 100k subscribers will probably click on another video that they like on your channel.
If you consistently see the same average number of people watching a video on your channel it doesn't mean that they are the same people watching it. Its not like everyone on your channel is going to watch every video, they pick certain videos (humans are picky) so that's why your viewer count is spread out. Who knows maybe 98% of your subscribers are watching your video but they pick certain videos throughout your channel so the viewer count is spread out and is more sparse.
The way I see it 28k subscribers might watch one video and another 37k might watch another video and the rest of the 78k subscribers will probably watch another video and in total you will have close to 200k subscribers that all watch certain videos on your channel because they are PICKY. Do you understand? this is how it always has been on Youtube, not every subscriber watches all of your videos but does that mean they abandoned it? no they just didn't appeal to a certain video.
You have to make a video that appeals to all of your subscribers, a video thatll grab all of your audience's attention and if you're lucky enough it'll be come popular enough to grab other peoples attention that arn't your subscribers.
I'm still subbed because I really find this transformation fascinating. I might not click on every single new video but I still enjoy popping in and seeing what you've got to say.
The "ranting through editing" thing is actually really cool! I'd love to see more people try stuff like that.
speaking in terms of youtube algorithm, its actually about view and watchtime combined now. this is one reason longer videos are significantly more popular now than they were back in youtube's early days (another factor obviously being the 10 and 15 minute limits that used to exist.) and why vine compilations combine the clickbait girl-in-almost-no-clothes strategy with a length of about 20-40 minutes of content people may actually stay for even if they dont like it, which with vines specifically is for another lengthy reason i wont get into here.
clickbait worked a lot better back then and the way youtube works tries to throw it out of the search algorithms but my understanding is that enough views can still compensate for low watch time in some way. its a bit complicated and i dont enough details to go further in depth than that though
I only subscribe to people who I am actively watching and engaging in, only people who i watch as soon as they come out. I engage with artists much more and I dont have so much clutter on my feed.
You must also remember people have multiple accounts they switch between and stay on for a while. So you get one view from someone with 6 YouTube accounts and that in aggregate can have a large effect
The irony of making a video for people that already don't watch giving them a call to action to unsub. The only people who will see this is people who like you now
I've been watching a bunch of your videos lately since you appeared in my recommended videos. Maybe I should subscribe?
I'm hesitant because the second I do, YouTube might stop recommending your past uploads to me, and I'll end up drifting to whatever else they recommend me (which I get it, it's a weird problem to have. But it's just so easy to flick through the recommended videos for either something quick to watch, or something 'meaty')
That watchmojo and v sauce comparison wasn't very fair or accurate. Vsauce has less than 400 videos and watchmojo puts out multiple a day, they have over 11000. A more accurate estimation would be they're monthly viewership numbers. Vsauce had 16 million views last month, watchmojo had 74 million. So which is more popular???
Yep. This explains why my 100 + subs feels like only 2 people watch. Only reason I gain all of these was because I uploaded some Fire Emblem concert songs and that's literally all they cared about. So yeah, I'm sad I have this fake sub count...
In theory. Yes. In pratice, no. Some videos get a lot of Double views, like music videos. Others are watched once, or never by a subscriber so it evens out, or so I would assume.
Clankplusm Gaming I am a frequent double, triple, etc viewer. Usually because I like to watch something I already know I like if I dont want to find anything new.
Hey EmpLemon. You're tough enough for the Salty Spitoon. I just hope you read this, since you said you read all the comments. You are also crescent fresh, if you were wondering.
I'm conflicted. I don't really get anything out of YTP, or understand it for that matter, so I'll just be hanging around as a sub for your essay stuff, but that's antithetical to your being passionate about creating content, but you talking about it is more of what I'm here for, but - -
Sub purgatory doesnât last forever: you can max out your subscriptions. Yes, Iâve done that. Yes, I had to weed out the channels I didnât watch. I need to do an even bigger weeding-out, TBH.
I feel like a lot of people are making fun of things that they do because Emp pushed them in that direction. I don't like YouTubers saying they don't like the majority of their comments because it pressures me to not comment or someone I respect will judge me. This video, as a video, is good. However, it made me seriously uncomfortable to comment and watch new videos. Whatever I'm three years late and for some reason this is outdated and I am stupid.
I have like 250 subs from some stolen song I uploaded and they keep coming. I want it to stop but I just don't give a shit about having a channel as much as keeping a list of channels I watch. Let them enjoy it I guess, but why sub; I'm never going to upload anything else they like.
im as well, but id rather stay that way, cause since youtube is going ape shit, id rather be an empty subscriber to ACTUAL PEOPLE WHO DO STUFF FOR THIS WEBSITE LIKE ACTUAL ANIMATORS, ACTUAL YTP GUYS AND COMENTATORS LIKE EMPLEMON or pewdiepie
oh god i just found out i'm subbed to 448 channels... I got a lot of unsubbing to do. problem is i'll like one channel for a few days, weeks, months and sub and then lose interest in that channel.
Ugh, I have roughly the same percent of empty subscribers as WatchMojo, but without the massive e-peen subscriber count to make that percent still make for a decent revenue stream.
Vsauce is even a meme now. Plus he colloborates with Adam Savage from Mythbusters. And WatchMojo is...just WatchMojo. Vsauce is way more popular and successful.
Okay, so at the time of making this comment, there are about 617k subs and 561k-ish views. That means there are 56k dead people subbed to EmpLemon. Thems rookie numbers.
The current formula does not count for people who watch videos but donât subscribe. Improved formula for Empty subscriber percentage is below 1. Youtube now has a metric of âviewers who watch your videos but arenât subscribedâ 2. Remove that percentage from your mean viewer count to obtain the MSV count. 3. Take your accurate mean subscribed view (MSV) count and run it thru the formula again, resulting in this improved formula: (Sub count - MSV count) / Sub count * 100 This is your percent of subscribers who donât watch your videos.
You are a case study, knowing that about yourself you act in a way that shows intelligence. "I think therefore i am" i tend to look at subs and views as gravity, likes and unlikes and comments are true chemical reactions... Macro/micro the step to act out as a viewer thats what shows a creator you are alive. Subs n views are intangibles...
514k views 558k subs nice work lemon party Edit: oingo boingo represents the downward spiral very well if you move on from youtube be sure to tell somebody so we can enjoy that shit too
I can definitely identify with not liking the ghost followers as a creator, not specifically to you-tube, since I don't do jack-all here but watch. I hate it that I've got a seeming less that 25% engagement rate where I do create content. But complaining about it or trying to address it got me nothing, so IDK what to do. ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
IS THAT FUCKING NO ROCKING IN THE JAZZHANDS ZONE. I love that song and I haven't heard it in years. One obscure song from a single level from a game on newgrounds can be so amazing that it makes me feel good whenever any creator has heard of it also and uses it.
People may have subscribed and now they don't go on YouTube very much. People may not ever click on their subs and just stick to YouTubes front page. People may sub to you but only watch the content they want to watch. People can lose their access to an old account and create a new one. There's a bunch of reasons why subs don't watch a video.
This is the biggest reason why I'm a lot more selective with the Youtubers I sub to and don't do it as willy-nilly as a lot of people I know: I take my time to actually get to know a channel first before I decide whether or not I'm actually going to watch the videos they make.
I'm selective about the videos I add to "Liked Videos". If I just like the YouTuber as a whole, I don't want to just click LIKE on every video they ever do. That's just not practical, and it takes up a lot of space when I'm scrolling threw my "Liked Videos". Especially a problem if he/she uploads REALLY frequently.
I have an idea; Post a video called "Unsubscribe" with "YTP" in front of it, that way they actually watch it. For the material, use something easy to sentence mix & basically give them a short "Fuck you" message.
link055. that's the next theory. Emp Lemon is an imperfect clone of FUNKe who is shit at games and instead for a time, lured people in with YTP. Being an imperfect clone however took his toll and his channel is now dying right before our very eyes.
Just watched your recent simpsons vid and looked at the views and subs and thought about this vid. your channel really did go on a diet :b. You have a REALLY low empty sub count good on ya emp :)
I might be one of your empty Subs.. i subscribed to your YTP channel on my old account when i was a prepubescent PotatoBoy who was easily entertained by your "Media Remixing." if i ever log into my old google account, which i could easily do. ill make sure to unsub:) but you still got my sub here
I've been on YouTube since 2006. You may not know who your viewers are but Google does. I'm 38 and started going online in the mid 90s. I sub creators I'd like to come back to if I ever visit YouTube again. I'm going through a period now of watching YouTube again. In reality, I would prefer if my subbed creators published vids once a month with quality content rather pump out the pretty much fake vids like 5 min crafts or so yummy. My fave channel right now is be kind rewind for that reason.
I didn't start using the like / dislike until 5 years ago. (yes, i'm a lurker). And even then I never hit dislike. I think I have only ever disliked the YouTUbe rewind video. I'm not sure if all creators are as rational as you when it comes to accepting dislikes. Sorry, yes, I know that is your other vid, not this one. But I came back to update my year and thought I'd mention the like / dislike thing. I hate ear whatever where the sound jumps up but see you don't use that in your more recent vids. I do think there is some charm in it, though, cause it reminds me of red letter media vids.
PS I've been watching YouTube on and off since the beginning and I've never seen a Jake or Logan Paul video. I used to watch the fine Brothers do their monthly collection of best youtube vids for almost a year and a half but stopped watching them just because of a time issue. In the back of my mind, I though I was watching the Watchowski of Youtube. They never really turned out that way. Oh yeah, and I found out about them because of their interesting piece on the origins of You're Gonna miss me when I'm gone, which is what I like to watch, the history of the internet.
EMP my nigga I've been empty watching for over a year but I'll start commenting feedback I've been part of YouTube's problems thanks for the enlightenment lemon much love fam
Dude, i subbed to, like, 300 channels. And maybe i wanna watch like about one Video a year, maybe not, maybe i bingewatch in the future. For me it's just the next best thing to bookmarking channels.
yep, anyone still watching will find the new channel. I think it's probably better to just deal with the inactive subs, but that is the only way I can really think of to remove them.
I'm not even subscribed to you and yet I keep coming back. Do you think it's better for me to just catch your videos as a non-subscriber and interact? Is sub count even factored into ïœïœ ăïŒĄïœïœïœïœïœïœïœïœ?
Why do I have almost 30 subscribers and get 2 views per video. I stopped uploading and I upload different stuff on the rare occasion I upload now but WHY ARE THEY SUBSCRIBED. Thank you to anyone who unsubscribed
đđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđ FUCKING HILARIOUS BRO đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđđđđ THIS IS THE PINNACLE OF COMEDYđŻđŻđŻ
@«tutacat» New watching active commenting liking saying stuff feeling edgy again going bold using emojis đ lolling spiralling downward loving every second of it let's go!
đđđđ
(Yes, I deliberately made that comment look shitty...no, not even giving a damn...đ đ đ đ )
This feels obvious, but now I can't help but consider that if it was, the shitshow that is the "horrible YouTube comments" would have fared way better if the creators had the insight to notice, sometimes a majority of backlash happens because you grew to attract an audience that doesn't care. And when you put your life on the line, I guess it is actually scary to accept that the constant useless feedback, trolling and hate corresponds to a chunk of the audience that would be better if not invited. Quite sad.
So far you probably think of me as this idiot that really likes mentioning fallout in all the videos unrelated to fallout. I even went to see Godzilla king of the monsters with my friend and made jokes about each monster representing the fallout community. Truth is I'm very stingy about the downward spiral of the franchise I love so much and I'll take any excuse to shit on the fans.
pewdiepie is about 2.2 million subscribers if it was what it actually would be which is just sad for such a fallen giant but eh hes still doing better than alot of other youtube channels
I find that I'm more inclined to comment when the sub count is low.

I'm not subscribed. A handful of your videos have been in my recommend and I always click those. I've never been served up one of your Traps, because I don't like YTPs in general
How about high quality videos draw in more people that aren't subscribers, casual viewers? That's at least part of it. And yeah, sorry, but if you only mad YTP you'd have a much younger, less dedicated audience.
I subscribed based off the political oriented content you made. Well letâs just say stuff about trump if you donât agree that it was political. you have allot of subscribers. I have allot of subscriptions. Looking at my subscriptions can be overwhelming for me if Iâm looking for certain content at that particular moment. I found myself on the habit of binge watching certain channels of recent discoveryâs. So if I stuck around itâs because I found a niche in your content that I donât think Iâll find anywhere else. Itâs could be content that youâll never make again but I want to be around for when or if you do. That is why.
Well since you want some insights, your ytp is too loud, I might find a video interesting enough to watch, but the experience is so obnoxious that I'm probably not gonna watch another one for at least a couple months edit: for clarification, I am talking about using ytp in videos like this one.
I subscribed because of this video and I'm never gonna watch another one of your videos. And there's nothing you can do to stop me! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *twiddles evil thin mustache while tying you to a railroad* HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
This is an old ass video but for me I subscribe like I like videos - without much thought. I am subscribed to over 1000 channels, to the point where I don't watch like half the videos in my subscriptions, making it more like a second recommended tab.
Lemon I have been a dead sub for a few channels in the past because of a loss in interest. Whenever I see a channel I donât watch actively I tend to unsub. My ocd gets to me when thereâs 200 channels in my sub feed I donât watch. I like to believe I watch almost all of my subs at least once a week now but I have more cleanup to do.
Well, as you invite critique, I'll take a minor poke at your audio editing. Many of the clips/sound bites are ear-shockingly loud compared to your narration voice sound level
Emplemon, do you still read you comments? You said then you try and read the comments you get. So I'd like to ask: Do you still do that today, after all the changes you've gone through?
Youtube should promote channels that have high watch/subscriber ratios. Are there any data tools for searching for channels with high watch/subscriber ratios?
sub count is meaning less just like the example you gave V-sauce and watch mojo but sometimes a subscriber is behind on your content that's all but yeah sometimes they are just empty subscribers
dude, just wanna say that you're probably one of the most innovative channels on this stink fest of a website. you have an unfiltered, raw style of commentary coupled with the literal best visuals i've seen, which definitely comes from your history as a ytp artist. not just that, you're genuine among a lot of fakeass youtubers around who are too busy being inoffensive puppets than coming off as actual human beings.
Dude, I love your topics and arguments. But please please please cut with the YTP styling and huge volume bursts. Makes it fucking impossible to enjoy, despite the quality of the info you are presenting.
I get that you find the empty subscribers pointless... but a question I have is: why bother even addressing it if it genuinely doesn't matter? You've got empty subscribers. They don't detract or add to your channel as far as I can tell. If anything, that subscriber number bait theory is a reason why having a higher number is a better thing. So like... why do you want people to unsub so badly? There's a negative effect you're touching on, but from your video I wasn't able to figure out what that was. If another end goal is to inspire YouTube to change, then there you go, that's another potential reason, but we both know YouTube won't do shit.
FrameRater he's being educational. This is for the people that think subs equal view count. Like if your starting a channel this is something I'd suggest watching so I could guess that's why
Black Hippy click through rate actually matters in the algorithm as well. If you have a bunch of empty subs then your channel will be less recommended in the algorithm.
It's also a matter of pride. It's like having a gigantic castle- amazing sub count, that looks like a god but is merely a fake paper castle that doesn't show its true strength
are you telling me that in order to figure out an accurate measure of reality I have to use... MULTIPLICATION? REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
See this video on the popular internet platform known as "YouTube" is equal to nuttritionless matter that goes through the human intestines known as "s***"
i think it would be smart to make a channel on bitchute because YouTube is heading down hill and you might want a secondary cite to post your videos on
there is also the type of sub who is only subbed for 1 specific series, i have a bunch of chanels im subbed to where i only watch 1 in 10 videos because i dont care for the other content
Looking at their videos they seem to average around 70k per video or in other words about 99.997% of their subscribers donât watch their videos 0.003 % thatâs less than half of a quarter of a single percent
Before even watching the video, I just gotta say, I obviously dont watch every video that youtubers I'm subbed to release. I simply dont have time. And In not subbed to everyone I watch videos by either
Perhaps some of the reason there's such a wide difference in sub count and view count is because YT likes being selective with who they notify and which videos they'll put in your sub feed. Just yesterday (12/29/18), the only way to see a 10-hour old video of somebody I am subbed to was to go to their channel. Just looked and it's still not visible in sub feed. This shit that started around a year ago still happens, so it's a feature that's here to stay rather than the bug they made it out to be. Basically, it's protecting the virginal ears of users for when a channel has a shift in the type of content they produce, like if a gaming channel turns toxic gamer commentary channel. Oh my, we must think of the children. They may hear edgy opinions masked as satire. They'll corrupt the youth with their hip-swinging and rock 'n roll, err, I mean with their, uh, toxic masculinity and racism! Yeah!
Hey emplrmon. I have a quick idea on how to make clear that youbwant people to unsub to you. Add "unsubscribe dammit" before your name, or a varient of it. It might help trim a bit. But knowing youtube that wont change anything. Just a small idea that will inevitably drown under the LOL's and "this is shit" comments
M8 i have this problem too , i look beond the numbers and i see that i get 30 views per video in avrage while having 100 subs and no comments (like comments are the single way for me to feel that human being is actualy watching my videos , and when i see get super excited , the kind of exitement that a pirate whould have when he sees land after 2 weeks at sea with no land in sight ,and yes i get a comment every 2 weeks )
phew good thing he said pineapple on pizza is disgusting or id have had to unsub hey guys is this meme still kool xd
Anyone who unironically thinks as I posted above, down the road. Not across the street. Jesus. But I used to be something of an empty subscriber when it came to content. Don't get me wrong. I'd view things, but viewing and subbing were the extent of my attachment to a name. I thought I was gonna be somebody and couldn't let my name get out, hahahahahelp.
@The Dane Humor is subjective, and I use my view to say that it's not funny. What isn't subject is the relation to the video, which there is at least very little of. My point is the original comment is largely unrelated to the main video.
@ManyNames did you not see the part where emp says, âyou donât know them, you donât know what their favourite colour is or if they like pineapple pizzaâ
Im sorry but i had to point this out. When he said when his comments were constructive all i saw (besides the barneyisperverted comment) was this is beautiful or this is pretty good. how is that anymore constructive than this is shit?
It's an interesting topic. And don't forget that there are some dead accounts that are subbed to you. Some people maybe subbed a year ago but don't go on YouTube at all anymore. I remember I had a dead account from when I was like 13, and I subbed to people that I'm no longer subbed to, so I still add to their sub count but don't watch them anymore. And then there are some people that I'm subbed to on this account and the old one so essentially I subbed twice to some people. So maybe a lot of these aren't people that are just skipping over you in their sub feed, maybe they just aren't present anymore. And they'll probably never unsub since they'll probably never come back to the account. I get the feeling a vast majority of your empty subs are like that since you were previously a YTP channel. Some people just grew out of it. I've been watching some you your new videos lately and I can see potential. A lot of videos about talking current events or interesting topics with added memes and or earrape seems to have a growing audience. Oh and one more thing. This is shit.
Am I strange for disliking my my sub count for being high? I havenât made a single video. Yet I have over 50 subs. And meanwhile my best friend who actually makes amazing videos has less than half the subs I have. I get subs just because I make comments that are witty(I have nearly a thousand likes on a comment that was posted on a video from 2015(my account isnât even a year old)). And for the occasional tease at what videos I might make. And because I support small channels that actually do post content. Seriously, itâs like this: Me: * attempts to promote channel * Me: * gains subs * The channel Iâm trying to promote gains no subs. Me: excuse me what the fuck
The third set of subscribers are pity subscribers aka my subscribers they saw my videos wow worst ytps I ever saw I'm gonna subscribe to cheer him up. Well they aren't wrong about my content being shit
I understand not wanting empty Subscribers. I hate asking people to subscribe, especially if I know they wouldn't enjoy my content. I want my subs to be people who actively want to watch my videos whenever I upload them. Good job EmpLemon.
>Takes 15+ minutes to miss the point that not everyone is going to care about/watch every video you make. >Takes 15+ minutes to miss the point that most people don't have strong enough feelings to wax poetic about YTPs. >Takes 15+ minutes to miss the point that when you pee in someone's Cheerios they aren't going to go into a long essay on the specifics of why they don't like you peeing in said cereal. Come on now.
So me not wanting to make a video is equivalent to me pissing in your cereal. Okay. Ok. I'm sure you're just a wonderful ball of sunshine in real life, and you're only being nasty here as an outlet. Good luck with the rest of your life, my friend.
It's less like him pissing in your cereal and more like him giving you the brand of cereal you don't like.If they don't really tell you why they don't like that specific type of cereal and just say''This brand is shit!'',then it's only natural for you to call them idiots
"they aren't going to go into a long essay on the specifics of why they don't like you peeing in said cereal." Because it's a pretty safe assumption that the person who took a piss in your cereal knows exactly why you dislike it. If it's clear that the person genuinely does not understand, you may want to actually make that essay (and you should). Your analogy only works if it seems like EmpLemon's trying to make his videos bad or alienating, like Frying Dory (assuming the intent is apparent in that video--i haven't seen it [Edit: looking at it now and it seems to be just a PSA; i thought it was a parody YTP or something]).
Also, there's a dislike button. Saying "this is shit" is completely pointless.
Wonder if a WatchMojo YTP could be possible...It'd be interesting. Also, these types of videos are pretty interesting. I feel as if I'm seeing a cool, new side to the channel, especially considering the stuff that's been happening lately.
Look up "Top 10 Anime Battles" and you'll find something similar to a YTP. It's not technically YTP (it's completely different), but if still makes fun of WatchMojo.
8:10 Im somehow doing better than xSlayder , a gigantic romanian youtuber
(1158557 (subs) - 50000 (views , they usualy reach like 20-30 but he has some big videos and i wanted a optimisic case here) / 1158557 = 0.95684286573 (95% empty subs)
And here is me:
(149 - 30) - 149 = 0.79865771812 ( 79% empty subs ), if i look at my analitcs i got only 22 views from my subs in 29 days , i got a lot of 0 views till a 1 view spike came in then a sudden 14 views spike came in , and there is a 2 view and a 6 virew slope that is still continuing)
But some YouTubers take that long to upload new videos, and their subscribers are aware of that and just eagerly waiting (ex. DHMIS series). If YouTube automatically removed those subscribers it would not be fair, y'know? It might even contribute more to the quantity over quality thing because the content creators will be desperate to keep whatever subscribers they can latch on to.

@Normal EU4 player he would get 10 mil views on anything he puts out anyway
i need at least 3 videos i like to subscribe to a channel... btw this is the 5th time im subscribed to you... for whatever reason im getting unsubscribed from certain channels yours being one of them...
Watched a couple of your video. I like what you do my only criticism is the use of ear rape. Honestly, I dont get it. its not funny most time, just annoying. But I appreciated everything else you do and like that, it is used sparingly. I do wonder though. why have it at all? Anyways Subscribed.
some pineapples like cheap pineapple tastes like shit and gets all soggy
but if it's a good pineapple it doesn't get soggy and when you bite the pizza you get a taste of the ham And some of the ches and the tasty pizza bread T he bread is generally Dry... so when you take a good old taste of pineapple pizza you get A piece of juicy Fruit
TEB The Leftist2020-07-03 07:46:17 (edited 2020-07-03 07:46:49 )
Im subscribed, i dont comment much but hey, if you want me to, im here to stay, i would love to UNSUBSCRIBE but i love your videos too much, if only i could use notifications without having to subscribe.
In Italy, the cops would show up an hour late since people in Italy always are late for fucking everything and when they do show up, it would just be some old woman that would offer you wine and get drunk with you to convince you to stop eating pineapple pizza. That is Italy in a nutshell.
I am in the process of evolving my channel from LGBTQ advice to commentary. Itâs quite a huge jump, but watching your videos has helped me so much. I do YouTube because I love it, and hearing your perspectives helps me to tackle the more frustrating aspects I encounter when creating content. So thank you. :)
@Infineable okay good point. But.. I think why sub to some who i dont even watch? :D I try to remember myself to like a vid realy everytime when i think it deserv it or i simply liket it for the algorythm too.
@Infineable I think a like or a comment will do it to but hey, its ur choise. The thing is the ghost subs are the reason why he was so pissed of and had to make the Video because of this exact reason, and from an creator view i totaly understand him but hey: Still ur choise :D
You are one of the smartest youtubers Iâve ever seen. You make amazing, in-depth explanations on topics, all while keeping up the funny and random YTP style in your videos. Propsđ
I subscribed to your channel, but I enjoy a lot of the content you make, even if its a theory, rant or YTP. I think you're doing pretty well. Keep up the quality content.
Just discovered your channel due to your recent Spongebob episode quality theory, and have been watching your backlog. Just have to say I appreciate how you deliver theories like an essay and how youâre not afraid to express your opinion as I assume as genuine to yourself as possible.
This content really brought back some old memories. I've been around on youtube since its conception. I was the outsider that appealed to youtube. Hell, I was making shit content on YTMND back when that was still a thing. I've attempted five different channels since the dawn of youtube, and none have ever gotten past 300 subs. Funny enough, that 300 subs was from my first attempt, which was me just playing the saxophone as a high schooler, but with that tiny sub base, I was able to actually run into someone who watched my videos. It was instantly gratifying to know that I had met someone hundreds of miles away who called me out in public. Then everything went to utter shit, and to me that point was when money got involved more heavy handedly than it was before. Ages ago, it was an honor to actually receive money due to your videos. Then the floodgates opened and now all people want to do is make money off of fuckin' youtube. Greed muddied the rich pond, and now its a swamp, and has been for many years. I was in awe when pewdiepie actually started to take off. His content was and still is the most pandering shit I've seen, but at least he had the decency to hide it's grossness. Now? I can hardly stomach to look at most content, because I know its just more of the same sell out corporatist bullshit. Over the last year or so, I've had the sort of itch to try one more time on youtube with this channel I'm posting this on, but I know not a damn person will watch it because of how fucked the greedy shitweasle of a swamp this disgusting site is. Whats the point? I never cared about the money or the fame... I just wanted to make content that I knew at least SOMEONE would watch. No, instead I get the five or ten clicks that were probably me accidentally fucking clicking on the damn video. Anyway, guess I wanted to say thanks for the walk down memory lane.
What I like so much about your videos is that, among all the ** K N O W L E D G E ** is some actually well done memes and YTP. This combination makes for unending viewing pleasure, since once you get bored of commentary, the video switches to YTP and makes you laugh, sometimes seemingly at the exact moment when youâre feeling in the mood for it.
Great video, and interesting points. I get where youâre coming from completely when it comes to cultivating an audience.

Hey Emp, I will say I've been a subscriber for a while and have always enjoyed your content. While I'd love to see you make another YTP, I will say I've enjoyed the shit out of your YouTube Culture videos. I used to upload my content on YT but the wise Disciples from the church of Montizon came after me and kept striking down my vids, so I gave up uploading on this platform. Keep up the good work though man! Your shit always makes my day!
I have massive admiration for Youtubers that have very few empty subscribers that have very few empty subscribers, no matter how many total subscribers they have. It is sad to see Pewdiepie or other large Youtubers that I watch get less than 20% of their subscriber count reflected in their views.
I just subscribed to you a few days ago, but I really love your rants a lot more than your YTPs. I actually haven't watched your YTPs but in one of your rants, you talked about them as an art, so I'm going to watch some of those next because you cared. But when I stay subscribed to someone I don't watch like I do with Game Grumps, I do it because I know they're a good channel and I want to show support, plus it makes them more likely to show up in searches, even if I've kind of moved on from their type of humor
Well from what I can tell if you want to calculate empty subscribers you should add up the total views for an average 24 hr period, and then subtract the average amount of "leaking views" (from subscribers that watched multiple videos) and the actual subscriber count is indicitive. Still really low for WatchMojo though
This is exactly why i didn't subscribe when i first found your channel, i only watched the commentary videos and the ytp's. It's just like followers on social media, more aint always merrier.
HULLO! I'm new to this channel, and I've really been enjoying it... Except for one thing: Your exceptionally large number of ear rapes. Don't get me wrong; I also think they are funny. TO AN EXTENT. One or two in a video: hee hee ho ho. When you've got 5 or more: I think to myself, using your vocabulary, only the outsiders among outsiders can sit through this shit. I do not fall into that category. I obviously haven't really reached galaxy brain at this point in time. I might even be considered a detestable normie among this crowd do to not caring nearly as much about memes (which I did love at one point mostly during the dat boi and harambe age) and YouTube in general. My favorite sources of media are music, manga, and anime. NEVER ANIME MUSIC THO. That is pure trash. YouTube is a place I go when I feel burnt out from all the shit I consume, or feel that there is no more worthy shit left to consume, and I'm not in the mood for digging just for one or two diamonds in the rough. You were introduced to me by my cousin not too long ago, and I feel you are one of the few channels that can keep me coming back for more. I just ask that you tone down the ear rapes a bit. Maybe to one per five minutes of a video's length? I don't give a shit. Anyway, the amount of ear rapes in this particular video can only possibly be enjoyed by maybe 1% of people. This number does not count those that stay and watch DESPITE how many ear rapes there are do to how awesome and unique your channel is. I might be wrong. Watch a dozen people all commenting that they'd prefer one ear rape per minute. Or, what's more likely to happen is that this comment is completely ignored because it's way too fucking long, and it's basically a meaningless tangent that could most likely consist of a fraction of the lines and accomplish the same thing. If one person reads this that'd be sweet.
You got me interested in the YTP community. I was wondering if you could go into more detail on how YTP's are made. I want to make a few yet, I have no knowledge on basic video editing.
1. Calculate the empty subscriber rate for both channels being compared. 2. If both have the same empty subscriber rate, or roughly similar, then decide by subscriber count.
For some reason I canât intake any actual information from this video. Iâm watching it, Iâm processing it, but itâs like everything is going in one ear and out the other. Except âA lot of subscribers donât watch the videos H E R G G G G â Good point though, I personally am heavily guilty of this having probably over 100 channels Iâm subbed too, yet hardly watch 5 or 6 of them.
I love how the music playing during "Top 10 Canadian Actor Moustaches of the 80s" is "Acceptable in the 80s" I feel like a loser for knowing that song from a snowboarding game
I can only see 32 of my 88 apparent subscribers. Youtube insists that they remove subscribers from the count when their accounts are deleted, and "Only subscribers who share their subscriptions publicly are shown."
I still haven't heard of a single person that likes pineapple pizza or place that serves it. Hawaiian pizza is pretty great though.
9:36 sounds very familiar, and I'm pretty sure it's not in the description.
It really is difficult to fathom how Watchmojo has pumped out 10s of thousands of videos of the same generic junk over recent years, on top of creating that channel in January 2007.
Oh yeah, I haven't been subscribed to anyone for years, and it seems to be staying that way.
Emp lemon you are in my opinion a good quality youtuber Better that markiplier or any other popular youtuber GOOD JOB!!! (By the way did i hear bohemian rhapsody when you said no?)
funny thing is, started enjoying your channel (and a lot my mutuals who watch you) after the cancer nemo garbage. while we all appreciate it, i think we can all agree that this is of higher quality
I usually stay subbed to re-watch the old stuff, even if they don't upload anymore. I only unsub if I no longer find the videos entertaining, like Smosh, I used to watch them a lot, but now I find them repetitive and boring.
Weird...it's almost as if empty subscribers who don't watch your videos don't see the parts of your videos where you ask them to unsubscribe...that's so weird.
Emp I just wanna say thank you for being brutally honest. I never actually realized how many channels I am now an empty subscriber too. Gonna clean up those Subscriptions
These aren't all empty though, people watch some of your videos but not others. Not everyone watches every video from channels they subscribe to, but they usually watch some from each of those channels
i only wanted to leave a comment about pizza, but now you've prompted me to prove i'm real, so youknow, I really enjoy how this very thought out and well constructed argument is juxtaposed with ridiculous shittily compressed memes. It really brings out the flavor of your content, and I watch every second of content and consider it and gratefully await the next episode. I'm not one to leave a comment simply saying 'That's good!' or I used to not be, but recently I started to do that. I do still enjoy leaving a comment like this every once and a while though. Sometimes I subscribe people just to show that I support them, but I always check back to make sure if I could, I would watch their content. If I don't like what they're making, even if I don't regularly watch, maybe I do unsub. I recently subscribed to pewdiepie after refusing to be a subscriber to him for years simply due to his over popularity. But I like the videos he's making now. And maybe soon I won't. Who knows.
You're better now. This content is gold imo. This is not the downwards spiral, but the birth of a new empire, except this time my emperor, your subjects will be loyal.
Maybe subs should only last a certain amount of time or if you don't watch any of the videos for a certain amount of time you're removed. I understand your point and have thought the exact same thing...what about all those people who just sub everything and don't watch videos or whatever other scenario where the people who are subbed should be removed. Whatever...maybe YouTube will change/fix it up in the future.
after 9 years of grinding youtube, im at 4.2k subs at a rate of 90% ghost subs (according to your formula), dang... fuck this place lol i remember switching to instagram when it got really bad, and sure enough instagram is much worse now and thinking about refocusing on youtube again... but being a recent sub to your channel and watching the downspiral of youtube video i dont even know why i even bother...
I am not unsubscribing I love you as a person but no homo though also I love the new content you make hopefully you grow large with a community to talk too
it's dumb when someone subscribes but doesn't watch your videos because you subscribe to see more that's why it's annoying when people asks for subscribers when they don't even have videos yet
I think it's because some people sub to a lot of channels. I sub to about 700 (not that youtube even tells you how many you sub to anymore - it lies in the "sub list" by hiding people) so i couldn't possibly see everything. I only watch the 'best' content from each channel i see.
Well shi- Shoot (gotta be At friendly) Man I have unsubbed from so many channels I didn't watch anymore so thanks you made me do a good thing YAY ok thanks I'm going to make a nothing about nothing
Pineapple by itself is disgusting.. But add a fatty meat like sausage or ham and it's amazing. The pineapple acts as a palette cleanser so when eating that fat rich ham the pineapple cleanses your tongue allowing you to taste the ham again like its the first time. I'm a professional chef so I know everything
You must not understand what emplemon made at the time he made YouTube poop and a theme in a lot of them were earrape and distorted imagery at the time he was starting to get out of his YouTube poop faze and turned into his commentary and topical videos
I still love you emplemon. You will always be an artistic inspiration to remind me that it's okay to create just for the sake of creating. You do you man
I consider myself a silent/observant subscriber. I really love this type of content you make, I think they're visually and audibly entertaining! I like listening to these videos while I"m playing Video Games. Thank you for the great content!
The way i see your channel and your videos is that all of the ones ive seen made feel like it was legitimate good content:well edited,really researched and taking your time to explain everything point by point,backing it up with facts.
I have been watching your THEORY and long form information videos. I know YouTube is not gonna do shit like always but the ability to subscribe to particular playlists would be an interesting way of handling content and allowing creative freedom, with the slight negative aspect that It might bar viewers out of your more experimental videos or other series.
Update for 2018 : I took the total amount of his views and divided them by his 170 total videos. The average amount of views comes out to 293,188 views per video. Basically, he's earned 21k viewers not currently subbed to the channel.In other words, -7.7% of the average amount of viewers were subscribers. Obviously, this does not take into account the different types of videos like YouTube Poops and Informational videos like this or YouTube Geographic.
if you do in fact read or attempt to read as many youtube comments on your vids as you can, I want you to know I love your vids and fully support you. I may not always agree with the political opinions you express, but thereâs a lot of diverse opinions I definitely feel you on and I never shy away from hearing counterarguments. keep up the awesome work bro and never lose that passion for creating videos. you may never know the full extent of all the lives youâve affected positively but know that some of your oldest videos became inside jokes for my circle of friends years ago in high school and brought us together.
A very good look into your subscriber-base, and more importantly, into empty subscribers.
Talking strictly rationally and a little morbidly, not every single subscriber may be around.
Possibly, there might be boots subscribing here to try to look like a normal person, and more morbidly...some empty subscribers may not be around anymore, having been removed off the mortal coil. Just something to keep in mind.
Regardless, keep it up! Good work, and insightful, on top of being hilarious.
Wow your content is really good. The first video I watched of you was the one about behind the meme, since then I've watched a couple of your other videos. Your empty subscriber rant is really funny. Thank you EmpLemon!
Hey man I just subbed to you and I am not disappointed Ive watched a few vids and I respect your opinions i think you COULD make ytps but since you arent happy with making them don't do it. I want you to be happy and Ill see if maybe i could tell some people about you. I think you deserve way more subs than you do now
I agree with you a lot on this! I don't mind seeing comments that quote the video if their intention is to like, quote the said sentence and then respond to it in some way, as with longer videos that cover a wider topic, it can be hard to understand what you're responding to otherwise.
(oh holy hell this is a video from 2016 I did not see that)
don't worry ma dude, i respect ya! and i won't be turnin' away from your channel any time soon, your videos are of exceptionally high quality compared to most other channels i watch, so you can bet i'm gonna be an active subscriber!
I'm probably going to be an empty subscriber one day. I'm already an empty subscriber for maybe 50-100 channels. It's not that I'll never watch anything from them again, it's just that I think like most people, I don't want the same kind of content from one day to the next. That's why I subscribe to multiple channels in the first place. I think a lot of people will watch one video and like it, then proceed to watch that person's entire back catalogue, and subscribe because they figure they enjoy what's on offer. But then next month when they aren't feeling it, they'll avoid videos. Then maybe next month or a year later they'll be back and catch up on what they missed.
I know this is an old ass video but honestly I think its a lot better that you're doing something that you can at least have some pride towards rather than shelling out your soul for views
I don't agree, to me subscriptions has always been a way to show support for a channel, like clicking the thumbs up button on a video. That doesn't necessarily mean that you want to watch every video, but it still has a meaning, as these 'empty subscribers' show how many people likes a channel. I have been using YouTube since 2006, so it's not just because I'm a newfag who is used to the notification bell being a seperate thing.
Sometimes you subscribe because you only like some of the content that the channel produces, like nostalgia critic for example, they have only one (1) show that most people watch. Or maybe you just don't care about or want no spoilers for this game that your fav let's player is playing at the time.
I think another reason nobody is unsubscribing to channels they don't watch is the fact that there are just so many abandoned channels on youtube. I'm almost certain that I have some channel somewhere that is subscribed to a channel I don't watch, but I just left it alone and it's still counting as a subscriber. There's bound to be many, many more of those channels, which would explain at least some portion of these empty subscribers.
I'm not subbed and I don't really plan to, but I've watched a ton of your videos.
I love your speculation content but YouTube poops just give me a headache and since that's your main schtick I don't really feel the need to sub, but your videos still hang around.
I have a tiny amount of subs and none of them watch my videos, so at least channels of every size have this problem. Although for me I think people don't watch because my videos are borderline mediocre.
So this video is currently 265k out of 272k subs, so I guess you're in a great position in actually. But hey, that's just a spiral, a totally neutral spiral.
This is shit . . . . . . . I recently discovered your channel and after a few videos you earned my subscription. Theyâre well made and interesting, you analyze subjects in a way that I donât see much around YouTube
Dear EmpLemon, I used to be a huge fan of your commentary videos, but then, you had the audacity, the nerve, the balls, to say that pineapple is disgusting on pizza. You have lost all my respect, all my adoration. I will never watch a video of yours again. hmph
Sorry man I have a "skip ad addiction". I desperately attempt to watch your longer ads but skip it just at the three second mark. If you want you can create a super-monetized video and I will watch it constantly, or send me a link to a place I can donate and I will see what I can do.
Personally i would like your videos more if you included your personality more because us as viewers don't really know what ur like especially since u don't show ur face. I do enjoy your content tho
I think the reason sub counts are generally higher than views is due to the fact that the average subscriber does spent much time on youtube, and only watches recent vids, so only watches 1 in 5 vids
I wish they made a rule that if you dont log into youtube for 3 moths that acount would stop counting (probably pewds would lose some alt accounts made by fans)

Sorry about one of the empty subs it's from my old account I don't remember the password for. But I am no FaKe FaN. I like the new content and subscribed with this account. đđđ
The way you calculated the empty subscribers is just wrong, since not everyone who watches the video is also a subscriber, so you'd need to add the number of people who watch the video but aren't subscriber.
what about youtubers who have more views than subs in a video, i have 30K view in a video i stole and bearly 100 subs, so basically 30 000 % !!! i just wanna tell you that i am not on steroids
Just found out about this channel today; I love the âdocumentaryâ style type of videos, especially the one about the early days of YouTube (the meiAIDS vid). Itâs great to know thereâs people out there that remember those days. Itâs almost been lost in time. Very happy I found your channel.
I still have to say, your commentary videos are some of my favourite on this website full of clones. You display how good these can be with an interesting editing style and origional topics, rather than just a sequence of random images with someone talking about grade dubs under leafy
This is what I think to be one of the best videos on analytics I've ever seen. I've taken these studies to heart and tried my best to keep my empty sub count low. I have also shown many people who want to become youtubers this video. Overall, you did a great job covering the topic and I would pay to see more stuff like this, and the youtube rewind video.
keep making your videos emp. been here since uncredibles and tbh i enjoy the change of content but i still go back to watch the classics, keep making great content into 2018.

Although you do not make anymore YouTube Poop content, I can see how you were influenced by it. With videos like this, you have become a YouTube Poop flavored commentary channel. I really enjoy it!
I subscribed about 3 years ago during your time as YTP youtuber, admittedly I was younger then and your content was funny for a High Schooler who loved memes, still watching you today since I enjoy your rants and how they point out things.
I feel like YouTube should have an option to display active subscribers instead of true total.
I also think every channel should have a "purge inactive subscribers" button, which unsubscribes all accounts that aren't active or barely watch their videos.
Of course, the system would have to be very complex to account for people who enjoy someone's content, but don't watch it because it's not in their recommended feed or they just want some variety in their feed.
Sounds very flawed especially barely watch their videos, there are a few channels where I only watch a specific series by someone, or I skip if it's a Let's Play I am not interested in. Also defining the term barely in such a system would be hard to define.
The combo between all of this "serious" talk and the small ytping here and there really helps a viewer to stick to your videos mroe becuasse we dont get bored of jst watching this. and especially now a days where most people just click from video to video it really helps with the breaks. basicly giving a new small video inbetween
This is a fairly well thought out look into the nature of YouTube. To be fair, and this is certainly an overgeneralization, most people watch YouTube to fill time rather than for mentally engaging content (also Reddit). I think âEmpty Subscribersâ arise from people forgetting theyâre subscribed in the first place (and you do point this out), and they donât watch the content mainly out of disinterest not in the content or creator but based on their own fickle whims. I am not above this. Now have I wasted my time with this? Yes.
It's good to see a YouTuber who actually believes that subscriber count doesn't necessarily mean success. There's a big difference between sub count and actually being respected on YouTube and most, if not all of the bigwigs that get fed attention on here have lost sight of that.
I always think the dead subs is because of how some channel goes way too fast to watch all videos. Some can still get numbers if their topics are good enough and make good stuff or they just go lazy and get lucky but when I see channels that get a lot with low subs shows there something too them.
A lot of people subscribe just because they like a video, not because they want to continue seeing content from a channel. I call these stupid subscribers.
I really try to be happy for anybody who has a fairly large subscriber base.
It is an interesting thought, good to think about. With what you said, I will definitely see to showing myself as an actual subscriber by commenting and such, as it definitetly is a shitty thing not to.
Ay bro. Just wanted to tell you that I am STILL subscribed, and watch every single vid that you upload. Some of us still exist, ya know. Don't give up on us
I like how you talked about comments that just say "this video sucks". I made a map for TF2 about 2 months ago, and every so often, I would get a comment on the maps workshop page saying, "this is map is fucking garbage" or any other form of that. It really annoys me when people critisize something you did and dont give any reasoning.
watching your videos makes me really anxious becuase they have a lot of more niche music that i either know or am getting to listening to and i have to pause a bunch of times to listen to it. i get sad
I never knew i would say it But i actualy like your content better than anything else, possibly even fantano or iddubz cannot be that good. Your ytps, no matter what, are enjoyable, your rants are 90 percent justified (90%, because not sure, just saw few of your rant videos), your minute meme told me enough to know about the kind of meme, sometimes you actualy point me the right direction, and most of all, you always have the right content i wanted to see on youtube in the first place. Of course, i dont watch rants, but yours are more of a critiscism that i REALY wanted to watch. I want to say, im sorry for actualy beeing the empty subscriber, i forgot, and i regret it. I don't know, if youll be reading, this, and no matter, what others thing, i needed to say it. Thank you, EmpLemon.
Man I could never EVER think of making YT a job. I liked making video game music vids, but damn I couldn't stomach constantly saying LIKE COMMENT AND SUBSCRIBE like a desperate junkie in need of that sweet sub fix.
I'm subscribed to some youtubers for partiular content they make. I don't watch all their content, because I don't like all their content. But I don't want to miss the content I do like. For example, your channel. I've subbed for these video logs you make. I don't watch your poops because I don't like them. I mean, I watch them once or twice to see if I might like them, but rarley. What I mean, is when channels have varied content, I'm not gonna watch it all.
I know people hated when Youtube started randomly unsubbing people, but I'd personally be happy if they made a totally transparent rule that viewers will be automatically unsubbed from a channel if they don't interact with it or their videos for a year. Of course you'd have to let them know in a pop-up too.
Hey, Emp. You just gave me a good idea for Watchmojo's next list video. Top 10 Ways to Make YouTube Better. At least THAT'S a good idea for a list video.
There is a new thing that i noticed, a bunch of channels that i subscribed to before the introduction of the "bell icon". when I go back to their channel the "bell" looks like a white one with a slash through it. And when I click on it and it goes to the regular grey one with lines on the outside to show that it is on. Wtf is that?
i wish youtube would just delete subs who didn't watch one of your videos for let's say 6 months. I've got a channel with 500k subs and most video don't even reach a 100k and most of these viewers aren't even subbed to me.
HERES AN ATTENTION CATCHING COMMENT!!! Anyway I like the current content. I also liked the YouTube poops you put out in your so called "glory days." I also liked the polished kinda dumb humor ones like the Frying Nemo series you did. They were all different phases. And in a similar way that I watch Kurzgesagt and also watch Internet Historian. Also for some reason I'm not subscribed to you. I probably unsubscribed when I was unsubscribing from a bunch of channels and ik I hadn't been watching this channel to often then. I was just a casual viewer.
Empty subscribers are bots and sockpupets accounts that subscribe to semi random content to appear more realistic to anyone that read it, or to youtube algorithm.
Its really intresting that people dont unsubscribe when you stop watching some ones content be cus you vill get the videos recommended from a chanal that you dont watch anymore
The only thing that makes me want to unsub is the ear rape in your videos. Am I the only one that finds overblown audio EXTREMELY agitating. Its not funny. Its not getting my attention... It makes me want to quit your video every time one happens I cringe. JSYK my fave ytp has a prerequisite: no ear rape! Does noone watch videos at home on tv sometimes!? Ear rape breaking a sound system will happen to me one day I'm sure.
In my opinion, you're the most thoughtful and introspective YouTubePooper on the site who still makes quality YTPs. Those empty subscribers don't know what they're missing.
I have to say this video was extremely informative and thought provoking. And to answer your question it's your channel at the end of the day you run it and you provide the content for it. Granted it is important to be knowledgeable about your subscriber base but it is also equally important to make sure you are having fun and are happy doing what it is your are doing. So yes it was a good idea for you to start making rant videos as you enjoy them and it has brought some new blood to the channel.
I will admit I've been an empty sub for quite some time now but I finally have gotten the time to watch some of your newer videos now, and I'm happy to continue supporting you, emp
The algorithms finally brought me to you a couple days ago. Really enjoyed the content here, both in rants and ytps. The quality is on point, and the attitude of this channel is the kind of genuine, nonchalant, chill shit that I look for. I subscribed a few vids back because I enjoyed your views and content.

I love your channel Emp. It provides funny and interesting content that I enjoy watching unlike the fucking reactions, lists, sins and wins, click bait etc. videos that dominate youtube these days.
I like this video, it presents information in a way that makes it interesting. I like that you don't talk to us like we are five, I like that there is still comedy in your videos.
i don't usually post comments but i was compelled to tell you that,you my man, are one of the most positivity self aware individuals i have ever come across, keep the good stuff coming and i'll keep watching

I've actually noticed I've never actually commented on one of your video's despite the fact I've been hanging around for a while. I enjoy your video's a lot, and I enjoy seeing the changes in your style. Keep doing what you're doing. Also have a good day.
You got my subscription. I legitimatly enjoy your content, whether its a Ytp, or a Commentary vid. Lost count how many times i clicked on your Behind the Meme video!
Well, this is on a year-old video so you might not see this, but if you do then I just wanted to say that I absolutely love your commentary-style videos. Honestly I've enjoyed them more than many other commentary style ones because they're so insightful, well-researched, well-edited and I can tell that a lot of effort has been put into it. I've only started watching your videos yesterday when I saw "How memes made Donald Trump president", and it was such a great video to watch. If you ever feel like not making them that's fine, but I just want to thank you for the amount of effort you put into each commentary video.
And I'll promise to unsubscribe if you do change ur style, faggot :P
If you can stomach watching him, mattpat actually talked about this in part of his youtube analysis series. He explained it as part of "subscriber burnout." Youtube's algorithm isn't alerting them to the new videos because they stopped watching as many. If you watch every video, it's guaranteed you'll see the next one. If you only watch like one in 10, it's probably gonna mark you burned out and never show you their videos again.
Look, emplemon, all you have to know is that somewhere in that subscriber count there are actual people who watch your videos, and like them as well. I personally don't care that you stopped making videos, if you do, i can just simply unsubscribe or watch your old videos, or simply just keep waiting. I just want to say that I like your videos, especially your old ones. EDIT: I just wanted to say a bit more. (and also removed that frying dory meme) Personally, I enjoy your new videos, even if everyone thinks they're just shit, I find them enjoyable sometimes because of how funny they are, like the "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH" video and your Meme Theories, which are actually really original. If you don't feel like making videos, its fine ,we understand you through the videos that you have posted, I just want you to again, know that theres people who actually care about you, even if they keep making memes about the downward spiral, they actually might care, trying not to be a bragging prick, especially me. If you read this entire god damn essay, props to you, and again, EmpLemon, theres people who care about you and such, 1 video a month is good enough, 1 a year is good enough, fuck it, one a decade is good enough, as long as you keep cranking out good content.
This video is extremely relatable to me. I have over 90 subscribers who don't watch my new videos at least. In the past 3 months I've literally been getting 2 to 9 views on my videos max. I've come to love your content because I feel as if you're on of the few honest people left on this site. Great video, flawless editing style.
The problem is that most of the time, I find users I'm subscribed to never appear on the front page, and I end up forgetting they exist. I'm subscribed to way too many people to go through them all at this point, and barely any of them actually come up when I'm browsing regularly so
To be honest I prefer your commentary videos. If a youtuber enjoys making a certain type of content they put more care and thought into it.

"My IQ is lower than my chromosome count" lol
In all seriousness this is still a very good video and it is still relevant 1.25 ish years later. I'm not much for YTP's but oh well, he says good things.
I did the math, and Emplemon at this time has no empty subs I took his view count and video amount divided that-about 290k and his sub count is about 246k. So Emp has no empty subs because the 290k divided by 240k is 1.17 about. So he gets possibly all his subs and another 17% of his sub count.
I am subscribed to a lot of people, but I don't necessarily watch everything they make. For channels with a narrow focus, such as Vsauce, I generally watch everything they make, because that's what i subscribed to in the first place. But for others I only watch 1/3 or less, because I don't like everything they make. And I subscribed for a show they make, like contentcop and bad unboxing in Idubbbz case. A tip you often hear, even when you create a channel now, is to have a narrow focus, because you optimize your views. GameTheory actually explained this in great detail in one of his Pewds theories. I know he is a bit of a touchy subject. Especially on this channel. But I highly suggest you go find it.
Oh, and here I thought EmperorLemon was just making jokes about how bad his channel was.I only now get that he just wants to stick with subscribers who actually plan on watching his new content.
Another thing to consider is just how MANY channels do you think a viewer is subbed to. A sub just means that they liked your vid enough to click a button that says 'show me more of this in the future'. But what if they are subbed to a 100 channels? 500? They liked them all but there are only so many hours in a day. Then there is the Youtube subscriptions feed. How does Youtube decide which sub's video makes the cut to even appear on the list?
Just checked my subs and my sin is being subbed to 923 channels. I might watch 12 vids in a day out of whatever is in the sub feed or that I randomly search on. Picture your channel on that sub list, hoping that your vid of the day might spawn on it, assuming I hit Youtube that day, that the thumbnail and title looked interesting enough to click on, that I - on whatever scale of the day - felt like it. You may as well play the lottery.
"Empty" subs don't hate your vids. You are competing for attention in the endless storm that is Youtube. You want the loyal viewers who don't want to miss a single one of your vids? Pressure viewers to hit the bell icon and establish your own "Notification Squad". Those people are opting in to what is essentially a 2'nd sub feed just to insure that they never miss your stuff.
(PS, I genuinely enjoy your videos and the criticisms I could possibly ever give arenât really constructive, theyâd be something appealing to my own tastes)
Cool video though. Gotta say these two lines in my head that also got me thinking.
I have a video that has achieved 2,000 views some time ago. I have 8 subscribers, and that never changed significantly during my four years on this website.
I tend to be a silent watcher for the most part though. Unless i feel I have something to say. But I'm a big marathoner. I binge youtube on the daily. It's good background noise for stuff I do during the day.
So a key thing mentioned here is a subscriber is a person that like a button asking to have more of your content promoted to them, but the modern youtube algorithm does not do this, so the subscriber comment is a tally of how many, folks clicked on a non-functioning button and not much else. I am subscribed to hundreds of channels I haven't even see in years. I'm prob subscribed to many channels I don't even remember anymore. So I am an empty sub on a lot of fo channels, Not because i don't want to watch their videos anymore but because I forget about them, and the button i clicked on to remind and promote their stuff to me doesn't do its damn job. It's why so many changes are passing the notification button, It actually does something.
so now you're sitting atop a pyramid of 235k subs, and it seems like you're drawing 50-100k views relatively quickly, with a 'long tail' (like this one has) of views still coming in over a year later. Not to mention that the craze for subs has petered out, and "watch time" is the metric the platform likes best now. How do you feel about that?
I have a theory too, more of a conspiracy... I've seen a lot of those shitty "If you have this average human trait, you're a genius", made by, for example, Spanish channels, then, I see the same shitty video, made by English channels, same thumbnail and all, just translated to English, then, I see the same video, in Russian, you see, Ivan, I'm not Russian, I changed my YouTube location to Russia for shit and giggles, and so, I managed to see this, there's multiple channels gaining money with the same video in different languages, something YouTube promotes in trending. And then... I don't know, Soros maybe.
Hears that you don't have any active subscribers. watches Emplemon's other content Realizes I'm missing out Immediately subscribes and hit's the bell icon
I will say, that your poop style is great and cluttered like it should. You made valid points and I will be applying the "Empty Sub factor" to a lot of people I'm subbed to... so I can tell if I enjoy their content or not.
I feel like there shouls be a subcriber page on YouTube where it lists the channels you subscribed to from left to right on an amount watched basis, and showed thr videos underneath. More than 5 new videos aren't shown unless you click on a button, and you can put videos on haiatus using tools.
I don't stay subscribed to a channel that changes their format for the worse. Prime examples: Spoony and Maddox. Or channels that haven't uploaded in years.
im guilty bc im subbed to a lot of people i dont watch anyomore or not usually at least, but im subbed to so many that im too lazy to go through them all
Aye, you got me looking t my channel analytics, and to be honest, though I may not be ready for a change yet, I will sometime go through the same purge of content ^u^ At least I know I'm not alone
I watch a lot of people on youtube, but I rarely comment, because nothing is ever original or important.And my self esteem is lower than the Mariana's Trench. But I do love almost every channel I subscribe to, and if they do something deplorable, or they suddenly change (Say...a person that told life stories and was really sincere suddenly being rude and hateful. Not naming names because there are loads of them that can fit this description) I would unsubscribe. But I do watch you often including these :) I just forget to like the videos. ^^;
When someone says "this is shit" they usually but unusually mean this: "I'm sorry, but this video just doesn't appeal to me. So I'll just say that this video is, ahem, 'shit'. Allow me to digress. *Rant rant about how you use stupid points and memes to appeal to the normies and alot of outsiders*. Anyway, alot of people will like this because they can't put their time and effort into a 5 minute comment because your content is a (often profanity with a slur and or insult) and I don't have the time because my 'life' consists of going on 4chan and telling people that they are worthless and never had a chance to do something with their life, so they went ahead and did it. But for you, this isn't the case. You have a large fanbase with empty subscribers(more or less) and is more entitled to make a well thought and convulted rant about me if I tried to make a video of how you are a bad youtuber, so I'll just put this into something you're small brain can get around: THIS IS SHIT."
I know I subbed to prolly about 20 channels right now I hardly or never watch but for some reason I stay subbed. It takes me a long to finally unsub from somebody
Have you ever even tried pineapple on pizza? Itâs the best thing in the world (after duct tape)!

Memes are bigger than what people can tell you. Sure Youtube isn't doing well, but if you try to search for "unstable Youtube memes" in Google Images, you get quite a lot of content. I think it shows that the reason Youtube is so messed up is because big corporations desperately want more money and think that memes are childish. Let's be honest, Youtube isn't going to get fixed anytime soon. It's never ogre!
Every week I look for topics rather than channels. so if 2 topics are interesting in a channel I subscribe and watch & eventually unsubscribe. I subscribe to u because Of what u did with âbehind the memeâ and this one âempty subscribers hypothesisâ. Anything that resembles âIdea PBS channelâ iâll follow.
Hi there new here. Just watched your trump, rewind, and meme cult videos. Thought I'd let you know I subbed simply to give you the satisfaction of an unsub. If it's your birthday HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!111ONE
Hey empty subscriber here. Why dont you stop doing thus ytp thing that stopped being funny in 2009 and make more commentary vids.bc theyre real good. The real reason I dont watch most of.your vids are because they consist of le screaming spungbob maymay
I think you forgot the part where people make sock puppet accounts to dislike other videos that don't deserve to be disliked only to be an annoyance to the lower people
what about that loud noises why are u doing this kid from my neibor was woken up, not nice please stop i like you videos but its bad when i dont have headphones PLEASE LITTLE LESS SCARES thx
I love how you are one of the only YouTubers that cares about fixing the website and a YouTuber that doesnât even care that much about subs and views. These videos about YouTube are very informative, relatable, and somewhat true. I would love to see more of these videos and your perspective on the websites state of being. Ur awesome and your poops are still great. đ
I honestly enjoy everything from you that I have seen since your Behind the Meme rant drew me in. I am still catching up on your 7 years+ worth of good shit. I personally enjoy the stylistic changes over time. An artist changing and evolving their style as the progress is common and you have just gotten better over time.
You know, I agree with you here... I like to do the same thing and see how many subscribers are even watching people's content and I notice that a lot of the normie idiots who think that subs = IQ have a staggering 80+ percent empty subs... and you know what...? If it makes you feel any better, I actually really like your content, so keep it up!
Yo emplemon I have to say that you make a really good point in this video. I really do enjoy your content though (even if it isnât a ytp) because itâs funny and enjoyable. And I also do agree with you that people should measure the popularity of a channel by its views and not by its subscribers.
I fucking love this video more than any YTP you have created. I believe this for one simple reason, I have never heard anyone go over YouTube subscribers in this much depth before. It is something that I had thought about while looking at different YouTube channels but had never truly put two and two together. Overall, this video deserves a 10/10 for quality information and speculation.
It does get difficult to watch every person you sub to, and when the content gets bad it's common to just stray away and hope you come back a few months later to better content.
I honestly dont really care what kind of content Emp wants to/does make. Even if its some shitty forced meme ill still watch it. Not just because Emp made it, but because i care about what he makes and what he wants to make.
For those who like the song with the harmonica in the beginning, it's called "Take the Long Way Home" by Supertramp. Also, some subscribers might not watch all of their channel's videos
This is the second time I have detected Veggietales in your videos, Mr. EMP LeMon. First with the title screen of Silly Songs with Larry, and now with what I recognize as "Larry's High Silk Hat", but probably it's a folk song they retooled. Regardless, I suggest ingesting more Veggies to get more fiber in your diet and get rid of the excess mass on your subscriber number. Jokes aside, we oughta petition Google / completely spam their corporate emails to add an option for YouTubers to be able to delete their subscribers en masse. A giant delete button for everything. Then people who actually care about their favorite channels will subscriber again. Rant rant rant you actually inspired me to go stick posters on light/telephone poles in my city to inform peeps about YTPs and the oppression of animation on YouTube. Yeah yeah business, but if you are owned by Google that's enough cush to last years. You don't need to monetize views.
It is indeed a fascinating phenomenon that people can subsist off YouTube, but
Now I need to go research what factors feed into money in youtibe, if it's view time, sub count, or sheer number of ads...
Want to know what is sad.. I experience the same thing with empty subs and I only have about 1.3k. I decided in the beginning of the year to turn the sub count off so people would not judge my videos based on the sub count. I also hoped that it would dissuade people from subscribing because of the large number.. The problem I have is I made 1 video that does extremely well for me, and everyone just subs from that one video and do not bother to watch anything else I put out. I hate the idea that I am pretty much being pigeon holed into doing 1 thing even though I like doing a variety of things. Great video EmpLemon!
I think your content is it's very spontaneous and I like that only two the channels that I watched involved in the Politicosphere made YTPs so I personally almost devoted to it is a change of things.
Omg thank you for this. I'm a newer inspiring YouTuber struggling with a similar problem since I switched what I was doing on my channel and people get mad if I don't do it the new way but I have a great idea for what I used to do. I have trouble balancing what I enjoy and what the fans do cuz if I try my old style of videos it doesn't get love at all
I think your content is AMAZING. I watch each new video or come back to the old videos. Oh, wait...this was a year ago. Well, I still love your content!
I like both your YouTube poops and your âmeme theoriesâ Can gladly say that i have watched your ENTIRE âYouTube has been on a downward spiralâ video :)
Yo Emp, I think you'd be glad to hear that, unlike most people, I like making repeated viewings of things I've seen many a time, and it's the same with your videos as well, so on most of your videos (including your YTPs, by the way, consistently great work on those, props) at least five or six of those views are from me, as I (ahem) subscribe to the notion you preached in your "YouTube's Downward Spiral" video that viewers should actively look for what they want to watch, and most of what I view are things I want to watch over and over due to their quality.
(also lol to the fact I just realized as of finishing this message that I made this exactly one year after you uploaded this video)
This video got me thinking why did I ever subscribe to certain channels that feel stale and boring to me now. I've unsubbed from them knowing that their material isn't interesting or as entertain as it use to be. Sure they'll make a few good videos once in awhile but thats it, any other day it's just average or below that.
Also, I say the same thing all the time. Trying to coax people CONSTANTLY to subscribe is not helping you as a creator, it's just filling you up with thousands of subs who will never click on your videos again
I haven't uploaded a youtube poop of ERB in a long time and I only have a thousand subscribers, and I'm okay with it. There are things in real life that changed me between 2012 and 2017. Believe me, I went through a huge change in my life and this video clearly explains why there are people out there that move on to other stuff. And I agree with one of the commenters, people don't have the time to watch every single video some channel makes every single day. They just need it when they feel like watching it, not come back every day like it's a habit. So I do agree with the empty subscribers but I haven't gotten empty subscribers to be honest. And also I forgot to subscribe to you when I watched your videos.
The good thing about Watchmojo is that if you have a very specific (or autistic) interest, you can bet that they have either made a video for one's own interests, or they will do so very soon. What I can't understand is why people bother to subscribe to Watchmojo if they have no intent on watching most of their videos.
That has to do with the pareto's principle. (A S C E N D I N G marketing tech nerd here) roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. can be translated to views/subscribers
Honestly considering I have less than 100 subs and get really god damn annoyed at only getting ~10 views per video lately (even if the view count is actually all over the place, according to my analytics) I can only imagine how insanely frustrating it is for someone with an actual sub count.
I don't understand how your old audience can bitch about you not making youtube poop when in a way you still are. You incorporated the art form into your commentary videos, which seems far more impressive. (Not to dis YTP's)
I have a bunch of subscriptions to YT channels that I haven't really bothered with for quite some time, but once in a blue moon, I will check out some of those channels and see if they made anything new or recheck out the old content I enjoyed ages ago.
Bob Woggle2017-10-14 07:46:37 (edited 2017-10-14 07:46:50 )
I go through my subs every now and then and purge anything I can't remember watching recently. If I ain't watching or they ain't uploading, all it is is clutter.
I really enjoy the taste of pineapple on pizza. But not all the time, sometimes the sweet taste is too irritating. To be honest, I like pineapple in general. So I really don't know if I like pineapple on pizza or just pineapple in general.
Honestly, the comment rant is a very knowledgeable argument, so I propose this to you. Perhaps the comments are an equal 50/50 split between the insightful commentors and the regular ones, but the reason why the regular comments always have 100+ likes is because as a regular commenter you would like every single comment that pops up, but with insightful commentors, they take time to read and respond without liking because of the merit of the comment they've read.
We need a Dead Account Purge. If you aren't using your account at all, then it simply must go. If you haven't watched a certain channel in too long a time, you must be unsubscribed. This needs to happen for the sake of YouTube's survival.
Also, completely wipe ads off of the face of this website. I don't want to sit through 30, 15, or even 6 seconds without a Skip Ad button. I want a world where the Skip Ad button isn't even necessary because there are no ads on online videos.
The youtube downward spiral has been happening sense 2014. Now it's struck EmpororororoororororoLemon which he should make a YTP about the downward spiral and YouTube itself and that would be a thing to remembererereererererererererererererererererererrrr.
What is the song during the top ten canadian actor's mustavhr from the 80's moment? (Great Video Amplemon, nicely tought and with enough serious and meme to make it very enjoyable to watch. )
Wait.... did you just ask someone on the internet to tell WHY? They don't like stuff? Hahahahahahah, that'll never work. I asked once, they just yelled "IT SUCKS" back at me 22 times,
What? you wan't people to use logic and reasoning? Why, that's the most absurd idea I have ever heard! Why would anyone make a reasonable comment that isn't complete garbage? ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME? LOOK AT MY GIANT FONT IS IT LOUD ENOUGH FOR YOU TO SEE? Anyways I really need friends like you that have some common sense and understand some logic. It's hard to find these days. Great video, and please, keep the jokes going, because whether it is cringy, hilarious, or strange, it has been great seeing it.
Oh hey, I also noticed that at of my subscribers too have not been watching my videos. I have been get under 10 or so views, while I have over 70 subs. So I think something might be wrong with youtube.
te reason why i post some short crap is because: when you give a like, its gets added to a reproduction list butt if you dont comment something the like gets lost.
Iâm not a YouTuber, or a pooper, but if you really want to lose your empty subscribers, why donât you just-
1. Create a new channel name 2. Make a new video, telling people the name of your new channel. That way, people who donât watch wonât go to the new name... crazy thought I know! also as some criticism, quit talking about yourself so much... you seem to have a high opinion of yourself b/c you like to talk about you... A LOT!
If I had to guess 1. You would be essentially throwing away a brand (all the views, history, and video recommendations) that you cultivated just to get rid of-
2. Shadows that aren't even worth the effort of getting rid of and-
3. Let's say you did create a new channel and all your active subs followed. It won't fix the fundamental problem, that your views are decreasing per video.
So in conclusion, making a new channel wouldn't be worth it just to get rid of people that aren't even around.
Just think, several of your subscribers are literally dead.

0 likes@Nondescript the features of content such as that are still aspects of the content, therefore my point still stands.

1 likeItâs been a long time now, but its odd that when you made the decision to turn your channel in this new direction away from ytp, I went from a somewhat empty subscriber to watching your catalogue several times a week

11 likesI feel kinda bad because at this point of Emp's career I was mostly an empty subscriber. Not really by choice though, YouTube just didn't recommend his channel to me at all, and occasionally I'd watch a YTP and think "Huh, whatever happened to that Emperor Lemon guy?" But for some reason I didn't go check until a couple years later.

0 likesI subbed to Emp because I appreciate his content for kind of being the opposite of my mindset. While he is existential in some regards and treats life as realistic and relatively negative as I do, he also displays his mindset in an overall positive manner and doesn't take everything too seriously. I could learn a thing or two about positivism in the face of an evil world, and I could learn even more about not taking myself so seriously. I need to learn to not just laugh at the circumstances, but also at myself. Thanks for being a sort of foil to my mind, Emp, it really helps.
0 likesI find it fitting how Emp struggled with empty subscribers back then, when now, his channel is among the likes of Vsauce, with one of the lower percentages of empty subs.

0 likesYes, viewers will always stick to their niches with some staying in their corner more than others, but a lot of people simply ride the waves of the algorithm and search results to find whatever suits them at the time.
One week you could be binge watching clips of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, the next you could be having Vsauce give you the big brain with a capital đ ±ïž.
To a nomad, the subscribe button isn't a "I wanna watch most of your content" button, it's a "I respect your talent and wish to have some way to remember you for the future" button.
I rarely watch your vids, Emp, but I have a massive respect for you and wish to see your channel grow. So even if my subscription is meaningless to you, to me it's my thumbs up to your whole channel.

0 likesI think this video deserves more than 500k views... very insightful to the nature of the typical YouTube scene, even four years later. Not much has changed on the behalf of the viewers, but I feel many of the actual, genuine content creators (not KINDER EGG UNBOXING #4992 - HOLY SHIT BATMAN (SCARY)) have sort of adapted to these changes and begun making content they actually enjoy and believe in. Two different types of success: Getting views for selling your soul to the toy gods, or being genuinely happy and having a fanbase that has legitimate respect and appreciation (not to mention maturity).
0 likesTL;DR: YouTube sucks and everyone knows that.
Great job again!
I had a channel with 14k subs and a video with 3 million views. Unfortunately the video that got popular was made terribly and only got popular cause it was somewhat popular with a bunch of little kids. I tried making other content but the only way I was gonna get success on that channel was to make the same type of video, I wouldn't be able to get popular with anything else, so I quit that channel and made the one that I am commenting right now. I have a weekly upload schedule and feel happier knowing the people who are watching are not just a bunch of kids who only subscribed for the one video. Just for anyone thinking about making some dumb video that kids have enjoyed a lot in the past few months, don't do it. You will get empty subscribers, make your own damn content and just click bait it, even though you may be dis genuine with what you actually are it's better for your channel than getting empty subs.

I personally like the direction your channel is going, I know that's subjective but again, that's me personally. I usually don't comment on videos I watch because I usually subscribe to stuff that is interesting to me, and that I feel has re-watchability. I also like sharing with my circle that had similar interests as myself.
1 likeAll in all, I just wanted to state that, while you have empty subscribers sure, you also have subscribers that just enjoy your content and will rewatch in later months or even years.

0 likesThanks for the content. I may be a more irritating subscriber for many channels, because I have this habit of not watching many recent uploads until I'm sufficiently caught up on watching older content. I doubt those views on old vids amount to much of anything for the creator, but I also don't think I can adequately appreciate more recent videos unless I understand the direction/progression of a channel. In a sense, I'm seasoning myself as a viewer. Anyway, that's my perspective.
0 likesAs for dead subscribers, don't these eventually get culled if they haven't viewed a channel for a time? I've heard of channels mysteriously losing subs all at once, and I have to wonder if they're just some of the long-dead subs getting sloughed off by some internal mechanism of the site. No idea how long that would take, if it's even the case, or if there's certain types of behaviors an account could exhibit to be more likely for this to happen with (such as simply not logging in to the account at all for whatever reason).
You know, rewatching this video.. Thank you Emp. After this video I realised i was subscribed to over 200 channels, most of which I watched like 1-2 videos and unsubscribed. Now i cut it down to just about 20 channels. I am no longer an empty subscriber. Thank you, and I will not unsubscribe.

1 likebut i want to say this anyways out of "i've never heard anyone talk about this issue".
i belive the reason people don't unsubscribe from channels, is not because they do nothing, but because subscriptions have become so irrelevant, to the point that the website relies fully on the algoritm to deliver videos to people, and people are way too busy watching those videos, insted of looking at the channels they subscribed to, and they dont even get notifications on these channels so they forget.
in my case, i've subscribed to a lot of channels, is just super easy to do, and channels swear that helps their channel grow so, if you enjoied the content, there is no reason to refuse, and unsubscribing will mean that people will have to go trought all those channels and willingly unsibscribe from them, and this only if they get reminded to do so, and is only a small chance that even if that was the case, no one will choose to lose time on that useless labor, when they have so much videos to watch.
basically, unless youtube implements a desition like the ring bell icon, but most drastic and implement an unsubscribe people from channels they dont watch feature, you ain't losing that fat anytime soon...
You've certainly ascended, and I'm better off for it. I found your hungrybox video a while ago, and went from there (10/10, have watched again).

Pewdiepie: (49,341,905 sub) 92% Empty Sub Count based on an average 4,000,000 views per video.
Jacksepticeye: (13,271,978 subs) 92% Empty Sub Count based on an average 1,000,000 views per video.
Markiplier: (15,409,204 subs) 88% Empty Sub Count based on an average of 1,800,000 views per video.
CinnamonToastKen: (2,734,393 subs) 98% Empty Sub Count based on an average of 60,000 views per video.
Vsauce: (11,187,462 subs) 64% Empty Sub Count based on an average of 4,000,000 views per video (Emp did this one).
Game Theory: (7,267,212 subs) 31% Empty Sub Count based on an average of 5,000,000 views per video.
Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell: (3,248,027 subs) -2% Empty Sub Count based on an average of 4,000,000 views per video
(this particular count is due to a small quantity of outliers with total views of 6,000,000 to 10,000,000+ views in specific videos as a result of the viral video phenomenon).
Gotta love statistics!
Notice how the large, "popular" gaming channels such as Pewdiepie, Jacksepticeye, Markiplier and Cinnamontoastken have extremely high empty subscriber percentages, as opposed to the science/fact-based videos like Vsauce, Game Theory and Kurzgesagt (which in my knowledge breaks the record for lowest empty sub count)? This is due to something called information cascade, and it is why viral videos exist. If lots of people watch a video, then more people should be watching it, in the same way, if a lot of people are subscribed to a single channel, YouTube will encourage the average user to subscribe to that channel.
You make a good argument, Emp. Many YouTubers do compare their ego levels using the amount of subscribers they have. That's all good, but what they SHOULD be comparing their egos to is how low their Empty Sub Count is.

VintageColaPC1 What if a channel has 0 subscribers but 1 view on all 1 of it's videos? Get memed, good sir.
2 likesI think this has multiple variables and you can't actually know how many spam/dead accounts follow a channel only from subscriber-views analitics.
5 likesFor example Kurgezast also has dead accounts following the channel or accounts that don't watch their videos anymore because they take too much time to make time to post new ones and they just forget they subscribed (and they don't have the notifications bell on).
Also, something that affects views on videos is when a YouTuber does several kinds of videos on their accounts and sometimes their audiences are segmented. For example on a Let's Play channel a person may only have subscribed for a certain gameplay and ignores the rest.
Some examples:
A lot of CinnamonToastKen's subscribers ignore his vlogs about his life (wife, daughter, painted his hair, removed a toenail đ).
Game Theory also hosts Gaijin Goomba and half of the audience actually hates him. They also ignore videos about story of gaming, but they don't hate the hosts.
Those statistics are quite surprisingly good for Game Theory

They apparently 'don't want to spam' subscribers by sending every single video a creator makes to those subscribers. Personally, I absolutely want to be spammed. It'll tell me that I'm still subscribed to a channel that I haven't watched in months and that I'm no longer interested in continuing to watch. It's entirely possible that some of your empty subscribers aren't aware they're still subscribed because your videos aren't coming up on their home page.
0 likesThe other point I want to make is that the empty subscriber count might not necessarily be what you think. You assume that every single person that watched one video watched the rest, when it's entirely possible that some of them watched one but not the other. Personally, I don't watch your ytp's because they just aren't my style of humour but I do watch your commentaries because I think your position is often well-thought out and interesting (particularly your video on Donald Trump becoming president through memes). The same is true of a decent number of channels I'm subscribed to that produce more than one kind of content. No doubt you have subscribers that are the reverse of me and only watch your ytp's. It's still certainly true that you have empty subscribers, but that number might not be as clear cut and exact as you think.
To use the example of watchmojo and vsauce, vsauce produces pretty much the same sort of thing every time: Michael talks about something interesting for 10-20 minutes. The sort of person that likes one will likely like others, and while there may be some that are more interested in certain topics than others (and thus more likely to watch a video on that topic) I think in general if you like one vsauce video you'll like them all. Watchmojo, on the other hand, uses a scattergun approach on purpose so that they can try to appeal to different demographics, much like buzzfeed does. It's entirely possible that they have a similar amount of empty subscribers as vsauce, but that those subscribers views are split up among the videos that actually interest them. I don't really have any way of confirming any of this, however. Just food for thought.
I think this style of video is AMAZING! A perfect balance of serious commentary, and YTP. Keep up the good work!

0 likesHey Emplemon, I used to be an empty subscriber, I saw your behind the meme video and didn't watch much else, but I decided to watch more of your videos because I felt bad for being subbed and not doing anything about and low and behold I find this video, and I just wanted to appologize say that you are unappreciated for the content that I've seen, your ideas of the ins and outs of youtube and the general quality you seem to put into your videos despite the fact that it's not your full time job. rambling now but I just wanted to say thank you for making good content, being a real person (not one who just wants a bigger sub count for the sake of it) and I hope you continue making more thoughtful and insightful videos like these, cheers

0 likesFirst time watching one of your videos, and it was quite good - very interesting. I usually don't care enough about the internet to give these things a second thought. I'm subscribed to a bunch of shit channels that I never even watch just because I saw one decent video there before, but since then it's all crap. I really need to get into my garden and do some weeding. I've done it before, but it's about time to do it again. As for your channel, I think it probably appeals to a younger crowd, but maybe it's just me. I won't become an empty subscriber. Thanks, you've done me, and yourself a great service. I must say your integrity is something of a refreshment on the Web - a tangled Web full of vicious spiders.
0 likesI'm a new subscriber and I haven't watched the old videos yet. That probably contributes to the empty sub count on the older videos if you think about it...

used to be an empty subscriber but you make quality content and got me watching your vids
0 likesI unsubscribed years ago because your videos began resembling the loud, obnoxious âdank memeâ style that was so ubiquitous across social media at the time. I didnât know you sincerely enjoyed making these videos, I perceived them as your betrayal of all the inside jokes and humor in pre-2016 YTPs I had come to enjoy. Iâm happy youâre making the content you want, not content you feel obligated to create.
1 likeTake care, Aaron.
Well, you're at 381k on 10/25/2018 and the video got 360k views, so pretty damn close to the mark. Granted the video's been up for two years, I just recently found you through a new channel, and I enjoy your rants. I'm iffy on YTP, but I'd probably watch it just to support you. So keep making videos you enjoy making, and I'll stick around for a while. Been binge watching your videos past like 24 hours nearly solid now lol.
0 likesYeah watchmojo is obvious just making "content" for ad revenue. I continue to respect your opinions and admire your memeous operandi good sir. Keep it cracking.
0 likesI've thought about this before. I think it would be useful, for both viewer and creator, to have some kind of notification that says "hey, you have this subscription but you haven't actually watched any videos from them in about a year. Would you like to keep it?" But... do you trust YouTube to implement something like that sensibly? To resist the urge to just filter this, or exempt that, or push this and hide the other?
0 likesI don't.

I have subscribed to over 10,000 other youtube channels, but barely watch even like 15 of them.

7 likesReplies (1)
those subs would still be empty.
0 likesI'm not a creator, but I had basically all the same thoughts about Channel Success vs Subscriber count. This being 4 years old, your thoughts on the matter have probably progressed somewhat. But maybe I can still offer a little insight from inside the box, as an avid content consumer.
1 likeI subscribe to a great many channels simply because I see value in them, but not because I expect to watch every video. Actually that would be impossible; I think I'm nearing 200 subscriptions currently! I look at adding a channel subscription as similar to adding a TV channel to a cable package (back in the old days, if it were free!). Each one is simply "I see talent and quality here, I'll probably want to see more from this channel sometime", not "I'm now going to watch everything this channel produces".
Another factor that dawned on me recently is that I think YouTube channels are growing faster than users. I've noticed (I think) a clear drop across the board over the past ~year on most large channels that used to get consistently high view counts on their new videos. Maybe this is an artifact of the channels I tend to watch, but I do watch a tonne across a broad spectrum. Even "populist trashy" channels, as I'd consider them, that used to get a million views within a week on a new video, are now getting ~1/2 to 1/3 of that, it seems. And I hypothesize that this is because, as that platform matures, each user is splitting their time across a broader and broader range of content, in smaller slices.
Ontop of all this is the role that the algorithm plays. It's a fickle bitch and I hate relying on it, but it's the only practical way to sift through content and keep finding the most interesting stuff (although I hate the way it prefers whatever I've watched most recently!). I almost never click the bell, but instead subscribe with the assumption I'll eventually watch some of that content, some day. Your channel is a great example; I subscribed ~1.5 years ago when I heard Internet Historian shout out your quality. So I looked up your channel, poked through your videos a bit and decided you had interesting content, and subscribed. But then I only watched a handful of your videos, and never within the first few weeks of them coming out. Until the past couple months, where I've steadily worked through your back catalogue at a rate of a couple videos per week.
As you said, we're all individuals, and I realise I'm perhaps at the far end of the spectrum when it comes to how I consume content. But at the same time, I think the "empty subscriber" model is probably at the other extreme of the spectrum. Certainly those people & accounts exist, but I'd roughly estimate they make up less than half of the "missing views" on new videos, when compared to subscriber count. The rest lie somewhere in between, they'll probably still watch some of your content, some of the time, but not necessarily immediately after the video comes out, and certainly not every video.
I hope that helps shed a little extra insight into what's going on, and makes you a little less frustrated at the lack of views compared to subscribers. Sure, some probably should unsubscribe as they're idiots who won't watch your newer, more evolved content (and a great many are probably just dead accounts that have been forgotten, but Google hasn't closed). But still there are tonnes who still like what you produce and intend to watch more of your content eventually, just not necessarily every video, or immediately after they're released.
now his empty sub rate is about 28.8%... which is legit impressive- ironically, this video probably fixed his empty sub issue,

0 likesAlso, I like the comment you made about subscribers being real human beings. All viewers have only so much time to watch videos so if people lose interest in a channel, the youtuber shouldn't be angry about it. We all have our own lives and decide for ourselves how to spend our time.

0 likesWith everyone saying "remember to subscribe" at the beginning of their videos, that subscribe button is getting more clicks. It's proven that saying "subscribe" at the beginning is more effective, but it's annoying for frequent viewers of your video. But, I think that's coming from people thinking the subscribe button is a replacement for the like button. People no longer subscribe because they want to see more of your videos; they subscribe because they feel like they're supposed to because they liked 1 video from you that the algorithm just had them stumble upon.
0 likesKeep in mind that a most subs only watch some of your videos. With vsauce vs watchmojo, the difference is quantity. If you upload more sparsely, people are more likely to view the occasional video, hence why vsauce gets more views per video. If you have a 90% empty subscriber rate (as you measure it) but each sub watches on average 10% of your videos, doing the math, you technically have no actual empty subscribers.

0 likesWe don't need any YTP from you. Your style of editing just does it.
0 likesI found this channel recently when it got mentioned as a response of mine in another video referencing Stanislav Petrov, so I decided to have a look - I'm yet to watch your Petrov video, as I've been checking your video list from oldest to newest. Most of it being YTP, a form I don't really "get" (must be the age, I guess), I've been skipping those, but this looked interesting, and it mostly delivers, so I'm curious to see how your stuff has evolved since.
0 likesOn the subscriber issue, I find it interesting that you can actually hide your subscriber amount, which can be useful both if you're kinda starting out and mitigating newbie stigma, but also devaluing the measuring of your output by the amount of people that lciked a button once, and mostly letting the videos and their individual view counts and comments speak for themselves - with the bell thing, it's not like subscribing get new videos from the channels necessarily suggested to you either.
Still, for a couple of channels from my country which could use a bit more attention yet I don't watch all that much but I want to help out in some way I end up subscribing anyway - maybe on some level I'm part of the problem, but hopefully in a minor way, it's not like I'm doing it to already popular channels anyway.

Cross the Multiverse EmpLemons videos have evolved over time, and currently theyâre more of a commentary type video essay with editing style inspired by his old YTP work (although itâs becoming less and less like YTP). Itâs really good stuff if you ask me, and the channel has history in controversy worth exploring, however his Stanislav Petrov video is his newest video. Itâs also the most streamlined in terms of editing and formatting.

I think the constant barrage of "SUBSCRIBE AND RING MY GD BELL!" just makes me not do it. Point is even though I'm not subscribed I like your videos. Keep doing what you are doing.
0 likesI think people subscribe for a very specific video types. If the channel is varied, a portion of the subs stays for one topic, another portion for a different topic. So the "empty subs" number is much lower. So if someone does cat videos, food review videos and cooking recipes and uploads the videos one of each every week, some subs will only watch cat videos, some will watch only food reviews, and some would watch only recipes. Only a small portion wouldn't watch any of the videos, and some subs may watch any combination of the topics.

any interaction on a youtube video that's isn't hate speech is good for the content creator and their audience.
and your comparison with the restaurant meal is not a very good one. a lot of people joke around and quote funny lines from videos, it's the same with movies or books.
no human is like "oh i like when character X said Y". that's a stilted and unnatural way of speaking. quotes are perfect because it's quick and to the point. not every interaction with content needs to be book report level quality.

Lol, I thought that Frying Dory was a thing, because I never actually opened it. And to be honest. I am subscribed to a bunch of channels but I am able to watch about 10% of the videos. I started to even add interesting things to watch later playlist and in a year's quarter it gathered 400 videos. And of course I do not watch only the channels that I am subscribed to. It is like reading the news. I want to know more, so I broaden my "search" but I actually watch/read only those most interesting to me.
0 likesHowever from my perspective I have seen something in your channel that, although I was not super interested in watching your videos then, I still wanted to "keep in touch"? Please keep that in mind, because I would not like to lose you from my feed.
I came back because of your video about NASCAR (here, thanks to YT suggestions!) and started watching some older videos. They are great. I am really happy that I started watching the videos again. So by saying to me to unsubscribe, you gained an active user back,.

So, I'll just occassionally pick one and be like "oh, they posted 7 new videos since I was last here... That 1 looks cool."
0 likesthe best content is made when the creators are putting whatever they want in it and are making it because they want to, and are not trying to actively please their fanbase, like you said in your video about rick and morty, seasons 1 and 2 were great because they werenât actively trying to pander towards fans, when you do that your work more often than not tends to lose itâs soul because the creators feel less motivated to make it because they are merely doing it for fans and more often than not they tend to rush through their work more when they do that, and I honestly wish more people would question the state of their fanbase like you did

0 likesWorry not - I'll keep supporting you no matter what you want to do with your videos.
5 likesThe main page of Youtube is the "Home" tab, and not the "Subscribers" tab, and its already filled with videos that the algorithm thinks you would like to watch. These videos might be from someone who you are subscribed to, or might not be. But the fact that there are already a bunch of good enough videos on the front page, tailered to your tastes, disincentivises people from clicking the subscribers tab.
1 likeIts enought to not click on your videos in the home screen a couple times for the algorithm to recognise, that you are no longer interested in that channel's content, and after that, does not even recommend it.
People's viewing habits can change for a variety of reasons, and they might grow up, don't have time to watch youtube, family responsibilities, might get bored of certain types of content, simply forget you exist, you changing the channel's direction and people don't like the new, but still be subscribed in hopes of the old direction returning. Hell, people might just lose their yt account and decide to create a new one.
IMO all subscribers are dead subscribers ever since youtube changed the main page from showing chronologically the channels you are subscribed to, to the algorithm driven home page

Actually, EmpLemon. I do like your content and whatnot, I generally will like it and never comment because I usually never have the time to place either a constructive criticism or supportive comment/statement about the video. Oh, another reason why I don't bother commenting is goddamn lefty pieces of shit reporting anyone for one wrong comment then YouTube terminating channels over it.
0 likesI just watch videos and like them, then my days passes. So yeah, this is probably one of those rare moments I do place a comment, even on an old video like this, and tell you the truth. Your videos are great because they're informative and it's pretty high quality, so there's actual replayability.
You also have to take into account subscriber subscribees---who THEY are subscribed to. If they are subscribed to 1,000 different people, and each maker puts out one video a day (hypothetically), that is 1,000 videos to watch EVERY day. Let's also assume each one is engaging enough for the subscriber to want to watch, and they each fall in 10 minutes a piece. That is 166.6 hours a day. Youtube in itself is an over-saturated market, and mainly it comes down to quality, time, and luck. I have almost 170 subscriptions, and I watch maybe 5 subscribers a day if I am lucky. People do have to work for a living and have other commitments in life lol. Nothing against good quality Youtubers, but mainly it is a game of chance and luck.

0 likesA subscriber is a person who has informed Youtube that they want to be kept up to date on what you upload.
0 likesIt bears no direct relation to viewership whatsoever if only because it's commonplace for a Youtube user to haphazardly subscribe to hundreds of different channels and yet there are only 24-hours in a day.
Even if someone is interested in your channel, they may only be attracted to specific content, so any other videos you upload may get passed up. Just because someone's only interested in one of maybe several projects you may have going on doesn't mean they're not an active member of the audience.
The "quality" of a subscriber varies tremendously. A bobble-headed sheep person who subscribes because the dolt onscreen told him to is going to be subscribed to everyone so only the most influential channels are going to rise above the unfiltered sewage stream of his inbox.
On the other hand, a more discerning viewer who only subscribes to creators who meet his exacting standards as an internet connoisseur is more likely to be into you as a niche and therefore a consistent viewer.
 Subscribers are still important because the represent a kind of "vote of confidence" on the part of the audience even though detractors may just as well subscribe in order to stay posted too.
For this reason I think the subscription system should be replaced with the option of liking or disliking a channel and then receiving updates based on that since is basically serves the same function as rating a video.
This creates the potential for channels to get a feel for whether or not they're being hatewatched in addition to the comments.
Not sure if you're popular enough to do this, but you could do what Jim does and just make a new account every now and then. People that want to watch your content will actively search for your newest stuff either on youtube or forums.
0 likesFor what it's worth, I subscribed after watching the Nascar video... and I'd had any interest in it or knew of dale earnheardt prior to watching.
I feel like there are a lot of dead subscribers who watched this video are saying "Yeah! Death to the dead subscribers!" because this is the only video they've watched in a while, yet they think that they're active.

I don't make that judgement on the first video ever. I'm not a sub slut lol. I'll only give a freebie sub if you do something specifically to please a request I made in a comment, you're actually somebody I know, or something like that.
Btw, like your videos, you win my sub as of this video.

Great video, but there's just one thing I don't completely understand (and probably won't get an answer to). If all these empty subscribers don'y watch your videos, why are they still subscribed?

Apparently not for most people. Unsubscribing requires 2 clicks. Staying subscribed requires none.

2 likesMy guess is that they may not want to miss the content that they are looking for so they stay in hopes of getting the content they're looking for. I can honestly say i may be in that category but i try to be open minded and see his more person videos. I've grown old of most YTPs so I guess this is a change I'm willing to see. and another honesty thing is that I don't even watch all the people I subscribe to. I look through a massive pool of videos that I think I should watch. Typically if a channel starts almost only using bad practices of reeling people in I unsubscribe. For example, Pewdiepie: when i was younger i used to watch his videos for entertainment. But as his humor gradually turned into complete vulgar and downright unclever i started getting sick of his content. Not only did his quality go down but his thumbnails and titles started veering towards vulgar clickbait I unsubscribed.
0 likesCapedMario 64 well remember, the sub feed is also broken. it's never really there and as long as its trending to other people; it will show up. say shrek daddy 64 is your favorite youtuber. you obviously want to see all of his videos in your sub feed. but if justin beiber just hit 200,000 veiws in 2minutes last hour. his videos will show up before your boi shreik.

I find this technique good for bringing in the New year and it helps me find new content creators.

Don't worry bud, we stand by you if you want to know more about me I called behind the meme an faggot and for personal life I'll talk about my Latvian Legion connections. my mom side of the family comes from Europe and then the the Baltic countries then Latvia . My great grandpa was apart of the Latvian Legion but Germany needed more people for industrial purposes and they went to Germany and after the war they went to America and my great grandpa made a letter to government and we still have. They went to Florida and he became an showfer (I don't know how to spell it). And then they went to Wisconsin and I live in Milwaukee, to settle down and before they had an son in Europe but he died and then they had another son his still alive and my grandma who was born before them she's still alive. And I made an platoon called the Latvian Legion in honor of the 1st Latvia ( 15th granadiers divisions) and the 2th Latvian(19th granadiers division) and other forces that fought against the USSR. And they are not bad they fought for Latvia, not for the Germans. And they Couldn't go against orders they still had the same rules of the SS. The Russians are trying to make look bad but they aren't they fought for Latvia.

PROBLEM
So applying the empty sub logic to let's say...the most subbed person in youtube a.k.a pewdiepie a.k.a felix who uploads daily and with 71+million subs then let's compare it who doesn't upload daily like an...animator. test subject, theodd1sout having 9+ million subs5.
ANALYSIS
Comparing their views 4 weeks ago (to be fair for felix), felix hit 11 million with his video on black woman think she's white with dr.phil while james's (theodd1sout) video scary monsters hit 7.9 million. It looks like felix won the title "most famous youtuber*. But applying the emplemon's theory on sub activity (sorry it's the best i can do for 3 mins) felix having 71+ million subs with only 11 million views and james with 9 million subs with 8 million views we can conclude that james won said title even with the disadvatage on subs, views and popularity it's safe to say that the reason why james won is because it panders to the general audience of youtube
SOLUTION
with emplemon's theory on sub activity we can confirm that the theory most used, the general parallels of view-sub theory (i really need to learn more about naming things) is in fact outdated and needed to be replaced.
CONCLUSION
pewdiepie is not really that popular anymore.story time animations are getting popular is because they are relatable, Because it's something they've also experienced or saw at least once. And that's the problem viewers (not an exception here) wanted to connect so much to everyone including their idols that whatever hip thing is they'll turn a 180 and forget the creators they once enjoyed just to connect with someone with the same interest.pewdiepie isn't that relatable anymore. Sure we all laughed at memes and love drama/beef with commentaries but that's all he has to offer. His own viewers don't even relate to him anymore judging by majority of the comments because what is there they can associate themselves with felix? I know i dont have even one but with storytime animators? It seems like every-fucking-body is a fucking socially akward introverted weird person with a colorful personality hidden. So in the end indie content creators suffers a dilema, whether or not to change for the better or worse because as trends come and go so do they

17 likesOr 98% of your subscribers do watch your videos but most of them are picky so they only pick certain videos they watch. The way I see it, if you have 200k subscribers and 100k subscribers of your subscribers watch one video on your channel then that specific number of people like that specific video on your channel, the other 100k subscribers will probably click on another video that they like on your channel.
0 likesIf you consistently see the same average number of people watching a video on your channel it doesn't mean that they are the same people watching it. Its not like everyone on your channel is going to watch every video, they pick certain videos (humans are picky) so that's why your viewer count is spread out. Who knows maybe 98% of your subscribers are watching your video but they pick certain videos throughout your channel so the viewer count is spread out and is more sparse.
The way I see it 28k subscribers might watch one video and another 37k might watch another video and the rest of the 78k subscribers will probably watch another video and in total you will have close to 200k subscribers that all watch certain videos on your channel because they are PICKY. Do you understand? this is how it always has been on Youtube, not every subscriber watches all of your videos but does that mean they abandoned it? no they just didn't appeal to a certain video.
You have to make a video that appeals to all of your subscribers, a video thatll grab all of your audience's attention and if you're lucky enough it'll be come popular enough to grab other peoples attention that arn't your subscribers.

speaking in terms of youtube algorithm, its actually about view and watchtime combined now. this is one reason longer videos are significantly more popular now than they were back in youtube's early days (another factor obviously being the 10 and 15 minute limits that used to exist.) and why vine compilations combine the clickbait girl-in-almost-no-clothes strategy with a length of about 20-40 minutes of content people may actually stay for even if they dont like it, which with vines specifically is for another lengthy reason i wont get into here.

0 likesthe irony of the current view count compared to subs on this video lol
0 likesI mean it's 4 years old but still
The current formula does not count for people who watch videos but donât subscribe.
0 likesImproved formula for Empty subscriber percentage is below
1. Youtube now has a metric of âviewers who watch your videos but arenât subscribedâ
2. Remove that percentage from your mean viewer count to obtain the MSV count.
3. Take your accurate mean subscribed view (MSV) count and run it thru the formula again, resulting in this improved formula:
(Sub count - MSV count) / Sub count * 100
This is your percent of subscribers who donât watch your videos.
it has YTP elements, it's in theory a YTP.

People may have subscribed and now they don't go on YouTube very much. People may not ever click on their subs and just stick to YouTubes front page. People may sub to you but only watch the content they want to watch. People can lose their access to an old account and create a new one. There's a bunch of reasons why subs don't watch a video.

0 likesI'm selective about the videos I add to "Liked Videos". If I just like the YouTuber as a whole, I don't want to just click LIKE on every video they ever do.

0 likesI've been on YouTube since 2006. You may not know who your viewers are but Google does. I'm 38 and started going online in the mid 90s. I sub creators I'd like to come back to if I ever visit YouTube again. I'm going through a period now of watching YouTube again. In reality, I would prefer if my subbed creators published vids once a month with quality content rather pump out the pretty much fake vids like 5 min crafts or so yummy. My fave channel right now is be kind rewind for that reason.
0 likesI didn't start using the like / dislike until 5 years ago. (yes, i'm a lurker). And even then I never hit dislike. I think I have only ever disliked the YouTUbe rewind video. I'm not sure if all creators are as rational as you when it comes to accepting dislikes. Sorry, yes, I know that is your other vid, not this one. But I came back to update my year and thought I'd mention the like / dislike thing. I hate ear whatever where the sound jumps up but see you don't use that in your more recent vids. I do think there is some charm in it, though, cause it reminds me of red letter media vids.
PS I've been watching YouTube on and off since the beginning and I've never seen a Jake or Logan Paul video. I used to watch the fine Brothers do their monthly collection of best youtube vids for almost a year and a half but stopped watching them just because of a time issue. In the back of my mind, I though I was watching the Watchowski of Youtube. They never really turned out that way. Oh yeah, and I found out about them because of their interesting piece on the origins of You're Gonna miss me when I'm gone, which is what I like to watch, the history of the internet.
I need that Paul Blart poster. My memes would forever be blessed if I had such cancer in my gallery.

If another end goal is to inspire YouTube to change, then there you go, that's another potential reason, but we both know YouTube won't do shit.

0 likesPineapple Pizza is my least favorite pizza
0 likesPerhaps some of the reason there's such a wide difference in sub count and view count is because YT likes being selective with who they notify and which videos they'll put in your sub feed. Just yesterday (12/29/18), the only way to see a 10-hour old video of somebody I am subbed to was to go to their channel. Just looked and it's still not visible in sub feed. This shit that started around a year ago still happens, so it's a feature that's here to stay rather than the bug they made it out to be.
0 likesBasically, it's protecting the virginal ears of users for when a channel has a shift in the type of content they produce, like if a gaming channel turns toxic gamer commentary channel.

It's an interesting topic. And don't forget that there are some dead accounts that are subbed to you. Some people maybe subbed a year ago but don't go on YouTube at all anymore. I remember I had a dead account from when I was like 13, and I subbed to people that I'm no longer subbed to, so I still add to their sub count but don't watch them anymore. And then there are some people that I'm subbed to on this account and the old one so essentially I subbed twice to some people. So maybe a lot of these aren't people that are just skipping over you in their sub feed, maybe they just aren't present anymore. And they'll probably never unsub since they'll probably never come back to the account. I get the feeling a vast majority of your empty subs are like that since you were previously a YTP channel. Some people just grew out of it. I've been watching some you your new videos lately and I can see potential. A lot of videos about talking current events or interesting topics with added memes and or earrape seems to have a growing audience. Oh and one more thing. This is shit.

7 likes"they aren't going to go into a long essay on the specifics of why they don't like you peeing in said cereal."
2 likesBecause it's a pretty safe assumption that the person who took a piss in your cereal knows exactly why you dislike it. If it's clear that the person genuinely does not understand, you may want to actually make that essay (and you should). Your analogy only works if it seems like EmpLemon's trying to make his videos bad or alienating, like Frying Dory (assuming the intent is apparent in that video--i haven't seen it [Edit: looking at it now and it seems to be just a PSA; i thought it was a parody YTP or something]).
Also, there's a dislike button. Saying "this is shit" is completely pointless.

0 likesYouTube should remove subscribers when they don't watch your videos for 6 months. EDIT: or a year
6 likesReplies (2)
But some YouTubers take that long to upload new videos, and their subscribers are aware of that and just eagerly waiting (ex. DHMIS series). If YouTube automatically removed those subscribers it would not be fair, y'know? It might even contribute more to the quantity over quality thing because the content creators will be desperate to keep whatever subscribers they can latch on to.

1 likeI subscribed to your channel, but I enjoy a lot of the content you make, even if its a theory, rant or YTP. I think you're doing pretty well. Keep up the quality content.
0 likesJust discovered your channel due to your recent Spongebob episode quality theory, and have been watching your backlog. Just have to say I appreciate how you deliver theories like an essay and how youâre not afraid to express your opinion as I assume as genuine to yourself as possible.
0 likesQuality content mate. I like the way you explain things and provide well thought out commentary.
0 likesI feel like what sets you apart to this day is that you master mixing your YTP skills with commentaries to keep up the comedy
0 likesThis content really brought back some old memories. I've been around on youtube since its conception. I was the outsider that appealed to youtube. Hell, I was making shit content on YTMND back when that was still a thing. I've attempted five different channels since the dawn of youtube, and none have ever gotten past 300 subs. Funny enough, that 300 subs was from my first attempt, which was me just playing the saxophone as a high schooler, but with that tiny sub base, I was able to actually run into someone who watched my videos. It was instantly gratifying to know that I had met someone hundreds of miles away who called me out in public. Then everything went to utter shit, and to me that point was when money got involved more heavy handedly than it was before. Ages ago, it was an honor to actually receive money due to your videos. Then the floodgates opened and now all people want to do is make money off of fuckin' youtube. Greed muddied the rich pond, and now its a swamp, and has been for many years. I was in awe when pewdiepie actually started to take off. His content was and still is the most pandering shit I've seen, but at least he had the decency to hide it's grossness. Now? I can hardly stomach to look at most content, because I know its just more of the same sell out corporatist bullshit. Over the last year or so, I've had the sort of itch to try one more time on youtube with this channel I'm posting this on, but I know not a damn person will watch it because of how fucked the greedy shitweasle of a swamp this disgusting site is. Whats the point? I never cared about the money or the fame... I just wanted to make content that I knew at least SOMEONE would watch. No, instead I get the five or ten clicks that were probably me accidentally fucking clicking on the damn video. Anyway, guess I wanted to say thanks for the walk down memory lane.
0 likesWhat I like so much about your videos is that, among all the ** K N O W L E D G E ** is some actually well done memes and YTP. This combination makes for unending viewing pleasure, since once you get bored of commentary, the video switches to YTP and makes you laugh, sometimes seemingly at the exact moment when youâre feeling in the mood for it.
0 likesGreat video, and interesting points. I get where youâre coming from completely when it comes to cultivating an audience.
0 likesHey Emp, I will say I've been a subscriber for a while and have always enjoyed your content. While I'd love to see you make another YTP, I will say I've enjoyed the shit out of your YouTube Culture videos. I used to upload my content on YT but the wise Disciples from the church of Montizon came after me and kept striking down my vids, so I gave up uploading on this platform. Keep up the good work though man! Your shit always makes my day!
0 likesNever thought about this sort of thing until you brought it to light with this video. I'm definitely staying more turned to your content đ
0 likesThat ending, man...it's the best use of "Just The Same" by Gentle Giant that I've ever seen in a Youtube video.
0 likesAlso the only one.
Your quest to use every underrated prog rock song from the '70s in your videos is a noble one, and I salute you.
I found this channel through your ranting videos and I like how you mix ytp with well researched argument points
0 likesI have massive admiration for Youtubers that have very few empty subscribers that have very few empty subscribers, no matter how many total subscribers they have. It is sad to see Pewdiepie or other large Youtubers that I watch get less than 20% of their subscriber count reflected in their views.
0 likesYou make good points, but I think many of the empty subscribers are just new subscribers who haven't watched your older content.
0 likesI love your videos. You have a great way of putting things
0 likesI just subscribed to you a few days ago, but I really love your rants a lot more than your YTPs. I actually haven't watched your YTPs but in one of your rants, you talked about them as an art, so I'm going to watch some of those next because you cared. But when I stay subscribed to someone I don't watch like I do with Game Grumps, I do it because I know they're a good channel and I want to show support, plus it makes them more likely to show up in searches, even if I've kind of moved on from their type of humor
0 likesWell from what I can tell if you want to calculate empty subscribers you should add up the total views for an average 24 hr period, and then subtract the average amount of "leaking views" (from subscribers that watched multiple videos) and the actual subscriber count is indicitive. Still really low for WatchMojo though
0 likesHonestly, I like that you're able to balance YTPs and commentaries and make both funny.
0 likesYour videos are actually smarter than people think and I don't think I have ever seen a more genuine guy on YouTube.
0 likesThis is exactly why i didn't subscribe when i first found your channel, i only watched the commentary videos and the ytp's. It's just like followers on social media, more aint always merrier.
0 likesHULLO! I'm new to this channel, and I've really been enjoying it... Except for one thing: Your exceptionally large number of ear rapes. Don't get me wrong; I also think they are funny. TO AN EXTENT. One or two in a video: hee hee ho ho. When you've got 5 or more: I think to myself, using your vocabulary, only the outsiders among outsiders can sit through this shit. I do not fall into that category. I obviously haven't really reached galaxy brain at this point in time. I might even be considered a detestable normie among this crowd do to not caring nearly as much about memes (which I did love at one point mostly during the dat boi and harambe age) and YouTube in general. My favorite sources of media are music, manga, and anime. NEVER ANIME MUSIC THO. That is pure trash. YouTube is a place I go when I feel burnt out from all the shit I consume, or feel that there is no more worthy shit left to consume, and I'm not in the mood for digging just for one or two diamonds in the rough. You were introduced to me by my cousin not too long ago, and I feel you are one of the few channels that can keep me coming back for more. I just ask that you tone down the ear rapes a bit. Maybe to one per five minutes of a video's length? I don't give a shit. Anyway, the amount of ear rapes in this particular video can only possibly be enjoyed by maybe 1% of people. This number does not count those that stay and watch DESPITE how many ear rapes there are do to how awesome and unique your channel is. I might be wrong. Watch a dozen people all commenting that they'd prefer one ear rape per minute. Or, what's more likely to happen is that this comment is completely ignored because it's way too fucking long, and it's basically a meaningless tangent that could most likely consist of a fraction of the lines and accomplish the same thing. If one person reads this that'd be sweet.
0 likesYou got me interested in the YTP community. I was wondering if you could go into more detail on how YTP's are made. I want to make a few yet, I have no knowledge on basic video editing.
0 likesHow to know if a channel is more successful:
0 likes1. Calculate the empty subscriber rate for both channels being compared.
2. If both have the same empty subscriber rate, or roughly similar, then decide by subscriber count.

Emp lemon you are in my opinion a good quality youtuber
1 likeBetter that markiplier or any other popular youtuber
GOOD JOB!!! (By the way did i hear bohemian rhapsody when you said no?)
funny thing is, started enjoying your channel (and a lot my mutuals who watch you) after the cancer nemo garbage. while we all appreciate it, i think we can all agree that this is of higher quality
0 likesI usually stay subbed to re-watch the old stuff, even if they don't upload anymore. I only unsub if I no longer find the videos entertaining, like Smosh, I used to watch them a lot, but now I find them repetitive and boring.
0 likesWeird...it's almost as if empty subscribers who don't watch your videos don't see the parts of your videos where you ask them to unsubscribe...that's so weird.
0 likesConcept: most people don't unsubscribe when they slowly drift away from a channel
0 likesFor me, a subscriber is like a filled contract. I make content, and they watch it.
0 likesEmp I just wanna say thank you for being brutally honest. I never actually realized how many channels I am now an empty subscriber too. Gonna clean up those Subscriptions
0 likesI wish that your subscriber count made it so your videos would get noticed more, that way empty subscribers can be helpful
0 likesThese aren't all empty though, people watch some of your videos but not others. Not everyone watches every video from channels they subscribe to, but they usually watch some from each of those channels
0 likesi only wanted to leave a comment about pizza, but now you've prompted me to prove i'm real, so youknow, I really enjoy how this very thought out and well constructed argument is juxtaposed with ridiculous shittily compressed memes. It really brings out the flavor of your content, and I watch every second of content and consider it and gratefully await the next episode. I'm not one to leave a comment simply saying 'That's good!' or I used to not be, but recently I started to do that. I do still enjoy leaving a comment like this every once and a while though. Sometimes I subscribe people just to show that I support them, but I always check back to make sure if I could, I would watch their content. If I don't like what they're making, even if I don't regularly watch, maybe I do unsub. I recently subscribed to pewdiepie after refusing to be a subscriber to him for years simply due to his over popularity. But I like the videos he's making now. And maybe soon I won't. Who knows.
0 likesYou're better now. This content is gold imo. This is not the downwards spiral, but the birth of a new empire, except this time my emperor, your subjects will be loyal.
0 likesYou know, almost every video you post has prog rock on it. Do you like the stuff?
1 like5:36 that was one of the funniest edits I think Iâve seen in a while
0 likesMaybe subs should only last a certain amount of time or if you don't watch any of the videos for a certain amount of time you're removed. I understand your point and have thought the exact same thing...what about all those people who just sub everything and don't watch videos or whatever other scenario where the people who are subbed should be removed. Whatever...maybe YouTube will change/fix it up in the future.
0 likesafter 9 years of grinding youtube, im at 4.2k subs at a rate of 90% ghost subs (according to your formula), dang... fuck this place lol i remember switching to instagram when it got really bad, and sure enough instagram is much worse now and thinking about refocusing on youtube again... but being a recent sub to your channel and watching the downspiral of youtube video i dont even know why i even bother...

1 likeI like pizza with pineapples.
I think it's because some people sub to a lot of channels. I sub to about 700 (not that youtube even tells you how many you sub to anymore - it lies in the "sub list" by hiding people) so i couldn't possibly see everything. I only watch the 'best' content from each channel i see.

0 likesPineapple by itself is disgusting.. But add a fatty meat like sausage or ham and it's amazing. The pineapple acts as a palette cleanser so when eating that fat rich ham the pineapple cleanses your tongue allowing you to taste the ham again like its the first time.

0 likesI consider myself a silent/observant subscriber. I really love this type of content you make, I think they're visually and audibly entertaining! I like listening to these videos while I"m playing Video Games. Thank you for the great content!
0 likesThe way i see your channel and your videos is that all of the ones ive seen made feel like it was legitimate good content:well edited,really researched and taking your time to explain everything point by point,backing it up with facts.
0 likes(i dont watch YTP,rather the rest of your videos)
I have been watching your THEORY and long form information videos.
0 likesI know YouTube is not gonna do shit like always but the ability to subscribe to particular playlists would be an interesting way of handling content and allowing creative freedom, with the slight negative aspect that It might bar viewers out of your more experimental videos or other series.
Update for 2018 : I took the total amount of his views and divided them by his 170 total videos. The average amount of views comes out to 293,188 views per video. Basically, he's earned 21k viewers not currently subbed to the channel.In other words, -7.7% of the average amount of viewers were subscribers. Obviously, this does not take into account the different types of videos like YouTube Poops and Informational videos like this or YouTube Geographic.
1 likeDiddo on that and the video
if you do in fact read or attempt to read as many youtube comments on your vids as you can, I want you to know I love your vids and fully support you. I may not always agree with the political opinions you express, but thereâs a lot of diverse opinions I definitely feel you on and I never shy away from hearing counterarguments. keep up the awesome work bro and never lose that passion for creating videos. you may never know the full extent of all the lives youâve affected positively but know that some of your oldest videos became inside jokes for my circle of friends years ago in high school and brought us together.
0 likesA very good look into your subscriber-base, and more importantly, into empty subscribers.
0 likesTalking strictly rationally and a little morbidly, not every single subscriber may be around.
Possibly, there might be boots subscribing here to try to look like a normal person, and more morbidly...some empty subscribers may not be around anymore, having been removed off the mortal coil. Just something to keep in mind.
Regardless, keep it up! Good work, and insightful, on top of being hilarious.
Absolutely amazing video lol you I'm so glad there are intelligent people who make truly high quality content for older minds lol.
0 likesTotally agree with you on pretty much every point. I also appreciate you listen and read constructive comments.
0 likesWow your content is really good. The first video I watched of you was the one about behind the meme, since then I've watched a couple of your other videos. Your empty subscriber rant is really funny. Thank you EmpLemon!
0 likesHey man I just subbed to you and I am not disappointed Ive watched a few vids and I respect your opinions i think you COULD make ytps but since you arent happy with making them don't do it. I want you to be happy and Ill see if maybe i could tell some people about you. I think you deserve way more subs than you do now
0 likesThanks, Emp! I've never thought about subscribers in such a way!
0 likesThat IQ joke was hilarious. Other than that this video is really well made, I found it really interesting.
0 likesI agree with you a lot on this! I don't mind seeing comments that quote the video if their intention is to like, quote the said sentence and then respond to it in some way, as with longer videos that cover a wider topic, it can be hard to understand what you're responding to otherwise.
0 likes(oh holy hell this is a video from 2016 I did not see that)
don't worry ma dude, i respect ya! and i won't be turnin' away from your channel any time soon, your videos are of exceptionally high quality compared to most other channels i watch, so you can bet i'm gonna be an active subscriber!

0 likesI'm probably going to be an empty subscriber one day. I'm already an empty subscriber for maybe 50-100 channels. It's not that I'll never watch anything from them again, it's just that I think like most people, I don't want the same kind of content from one day to the next. That's why I subscribe to multiple channels in the first place. I think a lot of people will watch one video and like it, then proceed to watch that person's entire back catalogue, and subscribe because they figure they enjoy what's on offer. But then next month when they aren't feeling it, they'll avoid videos. Then maybe next month or a year later they'll be back and catch up on what they missed.

0 likesThis theroy is perfectly true,and itâs a great theroy & perfection to me
0 likesYour welcome for my feedback
you channel is gonna grow so fast, mark my words.
0 likesI don't agree, to me subscriptions has always been a way to show support for a channel, like clicking the thumbs up button on a video. That doesn't necessarily mean that you want to watch every video, but it still has a meaning, as these 'empty subscribers' show how many people likes a channel. I have been using YouTube since 2006, so it's not just because I'm a newfag who is used to the notification bell being a seperate thing.
0 likesThis guy deserves more subscribers
0 likesSometimes you subscribe because you only like some of the content that the channel produces, like nostalgia critic for example, they have only one (1) show that most people watch. Or maybe you just don't care about or want no spoilers for this game that your fav let's player is playing at the time.
0 likesI think another reason nobody is unsubscribing to channels they don't watch is the fact that there are just so many abandoned channels on youtube. I'm almost certain that I have some channel somewhere that is subscribed to a channel I don't watch, but I just left it alone and it's still counting as a subscriber. There's bound to be many, many more of those channels, which would explain at least some portion of these empty subscribers.
0 likesidk tho
I don't care if you change. I just want good videos in your channel
0 likesI had no idea you even made youtube poops, Iâm still subscribing anyway
0 likesI'm not subbed and I don't really plan to, but I've watched a ton of your videos.
0 likesI love your speculation content but YouTube poops just give me a headache and since that's your main schtick I don't really feel the need to sub, but your videos still hang around.
funny how a couple years later you have doubled your sub count and a lot of them are fully engaged watching your vids
0 likesI continue to see this trend of not that many subscribers (like 10% of them) people watching videos , it is most likely true.
0 likesOr they just for-fricking-got to unsubscribe
I have a tiny amount of subs and none of them watch my videos, so at least channels of every size have this problem. Although for me I think people don't watch because my videos are borderline mediocre.
0 likesSo this video is currently 265k out of 272k subs, so I guess you're in a great position in actually. But hey, that's just a spiral, a totally neutral spiral.

0 likesJust found out about this channel today; I love the âdocumentaryâ style type of videos, especially the one about the early days of YouTube (the meiAIDS vid). Itâs great to know thereâs people out there that remember those days. Itâs almost been lost in time. Very happy I found your channel.
0 likesI still have to say, your commentary videos are some of my favourite on this website full of clones. You display how good these can be with an interesting editing style and origional topics, rather than just a sequence of random images with someone talking about grade dubs under leafy
0 likesThis is what I think to be one of the best videos on analytics I've ever seen. I've taken these studies to heart and tried my best to keep my empty sub count low. I have also shown many people who want to become youtubers this video. Overall, you did a great job covering the topic and I would pay to see more stuff like this, and the youtube rewind video.
0 likesThis is honestly very intelligent.Like taking stats into concederation and with great example. Kudos to you for emp
0 likeskeep making your videos emp. been here since uncredibles and tbh i enjoy the change of content but i still go back to watch the classics, keep making great content into 2018.
0 likesAlthough you do not make anymore YouTube Poop content, I can see how you were influenced by it. With videos like this, you have become a YouTube Poop flavored commentary channel. I really enjoy it!
1 likeI appreciate the work put into every video down to the music source list in your descriptions
0 likesthis man is the reason I still have hope in youtube
0 likesI subscribed about 3 years ago during your time as YTP youtuber, admittedly I was younger then and your content was funny for a High Schooler who loved memes, still watching you today since I enjoy your rants and how they point out things.
0 likesYou're honest and original YouTuber! It's really rare to find them these days.
0 likesYou have to remember that a lot of subscribers donât watch every single video that a YouTuber releases.
0 likesI feel like YouTube should have an option to display active subscribers instead of true total.
0 likesI also think every channel should have a "purge inactive subscribers" button, which unsubscribes all accounts that aren't active or barely watch their videos.
Of course, the system would have to be very complex to account for people who enjoy someone's content, but don't watch it because it's not in their recommended feed or they just want some variety in their feed.
Replies (1)
Sounds very flawed especially barely watch their videos, there are a few channels where I only watch a specific series by someone, or I skip if it's a Let's Play I am not interested in. Also defining the term barely in such a system would be hard to define.
1 likeThe combo between all of this "serious" talk and the small ytping here and there really helps a viewer to stick to your videos mroe becuasse we dont get bored of jst watching this. and especially now a days where most people just click from video to video it really helps with the breaks. basicly giving a new small video inbetween
0 likesThis is interesting. I never even thought about empty subscribers.
0 likesThis is a fairly well thought out look into the nature of YouTube. To be fair, and this is certainly an overgeneralization, most people watch YouTube to fill time rather than for mentally engaging content (also Reddit). I think âEmpty Subscribersâ arise from people forgetting theyâre subscribed in the first place (and you do point this out), and they donât watch the content mainly out of disinterest not in the content or creator but based on their own fickle whims. I am not above this. Now have I wasted my time with this? Yes.
0 likesI love this downward spiral stuff. It has personality.
0 likesAnother precisely accurate video from emp.
0 likesIt's good to see a YouTuber who actually believes that subscriber count doesn't necessarily mean success. There's a big difference between sub count and actually being respected on YouTube and most, if not all of the bigwigs that get fed attention on here have lost sight of that.
0 likesI always think the dead subs is because of how some channel goes way too fast to watch all videos. Some can still get numbers if their topics are good enough and make good stuff or they just go lazy and get lucky but when I see channels that get a lot with low subs shows there something too them.
0 likesAlthough, I must say I have made respect for people that can pull off an 80s Canadian mustache.
0 likesA lot of people subscribe just because they like a video, not because they want to continue seeing content from a channel. I call these stupid subscribers.
0 likesI really try to be happy for anybody who has a fairly large subscriber base.
I appreciate you appreciating me appreciating your content.
0 likesSUMMARY: I like your insight, entertaining edits and your awareness of me/others.
IN SUM: Goodest content creator
It is an interesting thought, good to think about. With what you said, I will definitely see to showing myself as an actual subscriber by commenting and such, as it definitetly is a shitty thing not to.
0 likesHey Emp, What software do you use to create your videos? Because I am considering making some videos as a side hobby in the future.
0 likesi can feel my mind wasting away with every second I spend on youtube
0 likesAy bro. Just wanted to tell you that I am STILL subscribed, and watch every single vid that you upload. Some of us still exist, ya know. Don't give up on us
0 likesTHAT BIG BILL HELL'S CARS REFERENCE THO!
0 likesI laughed at that for like 30 seconds straight.
Came for the YTP, clicked the bell for the commentary.
0 likesI like how you talked about comments that just say "this video sucks". I made a map for TF2 about 2 months ago, and every so often, I would get a comment on the maps workshop page saying, "this is map is fucking garbage" or any other form of that. It really annoys me when people critisize something you did and dont give any reasoning.
0 likesThis video made me go and unsubscribe from a bunch of channels, not yours though :) Thanks for the great videos Emp!
0 likesGreat video when I watch ur videos it feels like ur the best comedian in the world
1 likewatching your videos makes me really anxious becuase they have a lot of more niche music that i either know or am getting to listening to and i have to pause a bunch of times to listen to it. i get sad
0 likesI feel ya man. I wish all these stupid kids would unsubscribe from my channel already.
0 likesSorry Emp, looks like your prediction about Cyberchase becoming a dank meme in 2017 was false.
0 likesWell I only recently subscribed. So far I like what you've done with the place.
0 likesI never knew i would say it
0 likesBut i actualy like your content better than anything else, possibly even fantano or iddubz cannot be that good. Your ytps, no matter what, are enjoyable, your rants are 90 percent justified (90%, because not sure, just saw few of your rant videos), your minute meme told me enough to know about the kind of meme, sometimes you actualy point me the right direction, and most of all, you always have the right content i wanted to see on youtube in the first place. Of course, i dont watch rants, but yours are more of a critiscism that i REALY wanted to watch.
I want to say, im sorry for actualy beeing the empty subscriber, i forgot, and i regret it.
I don't know, if youll be reading, this, and no matter, what others thing, i needed to say it. Thank you, EmpLemon.

0 likesI don't watch all their content, because I don't like all their content. But I don't want to miss the content I do like.
For example, your channel. I've subbed for these video logs you make. I don't watch your poops because I don't like them. I mean, I watch them once or twice to see if I might like them, but rarley.
What I mean, is when channels have varied content, I'm not gonna watch it all.
After watching this video, I went on my old YouTube account which had been subscribed to so many Youtubers, and I unsubscribed from them all.
0 likesI appreciate that the second video tag is 'Meme Theory'
0 likesI feel like one of the reasons that you are not getting a large amount of views is the length of a lot of your newer videos.
0 likes14:15 Hey man, cutting off fat from the body is going to make you lighter...
0 likesI know people hated when Youtube started randomly unsubbing people, but I'd personally be happy if they made a totally transparent rule that viewers will be automatically unsubbed from a channel if they don't interact with it or their videos for a year. Of course you'd have to let them know in a pop-up too.

Also for some reason I'm not subscribed to you. I probably unsubscribed when I was unsubscribing from a bunch of channels and ik I hadn't been watching this channel to often then.

0 likesI really enjoy your YouTube commentary. Well thought out and informative. Thanks and keep up the good work.
0 likesI have to say this video was extremely informative and thought provoking. And to answer your question it's your channel at the end of the day you run it and you provide the content for it. Granted it is important to be knowledgeable about your subscriber base but it is also equally important to make sure you are having fun and are happy doing what it is your are doing. So yes it was a good idea for you to start making rant videos as you enjoy them and it has brought some new blood to the channel.
0 likesI will admit I've been an empty sub for quite some time now but I finally have gotten the time to watch some of your newer videos now, and I'm happy to continue supporting you, emp

1 likeYou got my subscription. I legitimatly enjoy your content, whether its a Ytp, or a Commentary vid. Lost count how many times i clicked on your Behind the Meme video!
0 likesWell, this is on a year-old video so you might not see this, but if you do then I just wanted to say that I absolutely love your commentary-style videos. Honestly I've enjoyed them more than many other commentary style ones because they're so insightful, well-researched, well-edited and I can tell that a lot of effort has been put into it. I've only started watching your videos yesterday when I saw "How memes made Donald Trump president", and it was such a great video to watch. If you ever feel like not making them that's fine, but I just want to thank you for the amount of effort you put into each commentary video.
0 likesAnd I'll promise to unsubscribe if you do change ur style, faggot :P
If you can stomach watching him, mattpat actually talked about this in part of his youtube analysis series. He explained it as part of "subscriber burnout." Youtube's algorithm isn't alerting them to the new videos because they stopped watching as many. If you watch every video, it's guaranteed you'll see the next one. If you only watch like one in 10, it's probably gonna mark you burned out and never show you their videos again.
0 likesLook, emplemon, all you have to know is that somewhere in that subscriber count there are actual people who watch your videos, and like them as well. I personally don't care that you stopped making videos, if you do, i can just simply unsubscribe or watch your old videos, or simply just keep waiting. I just want to say that I like your videos, especially your old ones.
0 likesEDIT: I just wanted to say a bit more. (and also removed that frying dory meme)
Personally, I enjoy your new videos, even if everyone thinks they're just shit, I find them enjoyable sometimes because of how funny they are, like the "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH" video and your Meme Theories, which are actually really original. If you don't feel like making videos, its fine ,we understand you through the videos that you have posted, I just want you to again, know that theres people who actually care about you, even if they keep making memes about the downward spiral, they actually might care, trying not to be a bragging prick, especially me. If you read this entire god damn essay, props to you, and again, EmpLemon, theres people who care about you and such, 1 video a month is good enough, 1 a year is good enough, fuck it, one a decade is good enough, as long as you keep cranking out good content.
Love your channel, keep up with the good content!
0 likesThis video is extremely relatable to me. I have over 90 subscribers who don't watch my new videos at least. In the past 3 months I've literally been getting 2 to 9 views on my videos max. I've come to love your content because I feel as if you're on of the few honest people left on this site. Great video, flawless editing style.

0 likesI don't want to be an empty subscriber, so I'll probably just check your channel once every month to see what I like.
0 likesI like your honesty.
The problem is that most of the time, I find users I'm subscribed to never appear on the front page, and I end up forgetting they exist.
1 likeI'm subscribed to way too many people to go through them all at this point, and barely any of them actually come up when I'm browsing regularly so
good website
You sir just gained a new subscriber! Keep up the good work!
1 likeTo be honest I prefer your commentary videos. If a youtuber enjoys making a certain type of content they put more care and thought into it.
0 likes"My IQ is lower than my chromosome count" lol
0 likesIn all seriousness this is still a very good video and it is still relevant 1.25 ish years later. I'm not much for YTP's but oh well, he says good things.
Don't worry Emp I'm not an empty subscriber. When I see an EmpLemon video I watch it.
0 likesI did the math, and Emplemon at this time has no empty subs I took his view count and video amount divided that-about 290k and his sub count is about 246k. So Emp has no empty subs because the 290k divided by 240k is 1.17 about. So he gets possibly all his subs and another 17% of his sub count.
0 likesNice video man, I like this type of video more then your old ones, I saw your old ones. These are way more quality and better.
0 likesI am subscribed to a lot of people, but I don't necessarily watch everything they make. For channels with a narrow focus, such as Vsauce, I generally watch everything they make, because that's what i subscribed to in the first place. But for others I only watch 1/3 or less, because I don't like everything they make. And I subscribed for a show they make, like contentcop and bad unboxing in Idubbbz case.
0 likesA tip you often hear, even when you create a channel now, is to have a narrow focus, because you optimize your views. GameTheory actually explained this in great detail in one of his Pewds theories. I know he is a bit of a touchy subject. Especially on this channel. But I highly suggest you go find it.
Oh, and here I thought EmperorLemon was just making jokes about how bad his channel was.I only now get that he just wants to stick with subscribers who actually plan on watching his new content.
0 likesOh, so that's why you tell us to unsubscribe.
0 likesI genuinely enjoy your new content, by the way. Keep up the good work.
Another thing to consider is just how MANY channels do you think a viewer is subbed to. A sub just means that they liked your vid enough to click a button that says 'show me more of this in the future'. But what if they are subbed to a 100 channels? 500? They liked them all but there are only so many hours in a day. Then there is the Youtube subscriptions feed. How does Youtube decide which sub's video makes the cut to even appear on the list?
0 likesJust checked my subs and my sin is being subbed to 923 channels. I might watch 12 vids in a day out of whatever is in the sub feed or that I randomly search on. Picture your channel on that sub list, hoping that your vid of the day might spawn on it, assuming I hit Youtube that day, that the thumbnail and title looked interesting enough to click on, that I - on whatever scale of the day - felt like it. You may as well play the lottery.
"Empty" subs don't hate your vids. You are competing for attention in the endless storm that is Youtube. You want the loyal viewers who don't want to miss a single one of your vids? Pressure viewers to hit the bell icon and establish your own "Notification Squad". Those people are opting in to what is essentially a 2'nd sub feed just to insure that they never miss your stuff.
Well, hopefully you do read this comment. I'm curious as to what your opinion on those who might not watch EVERY video you produce (such as myself) but still are at least somewhat active. I really don't watch much of your YTP's, but I am fully engaged when you make a commentary video. It's easy to tell when you are joking vs when you are serious, I find your memes relatable and funny, and your videos are well polished, eye pleasing, and give me something to take away and think about. I just wanted to let you know that your videos matter to me at the least and I would love if you'd create more videos like this one. Sincerely, D0â©âŠWaRd Spirđl
0 likeshuh. I always watch these types of your vids more. More substance to them. Sometimes I indulge in the YTPs
0 likesI like your content, keep up the good work

I just found your channel last month but I feel like your a more classical funny youtuber you remind me why I even started watching shit on youtube!.
0 likesEmpty subscribers never go away.
0 likesGood job with the editing bravo đ
0 likesSo a key thing mentioned here is a subscriber is a person that like a button asking to have more of your content promoted to them, but the modern youtube algorithm does not do this, so the subscriber comment is a tally of how many, folks clicked on a non-functioning button and not much else. I am subscribed to hundreds of channels I haven't even see in years. I'm prob subscribed to many channels I don't even remember anymore. So I am an empty sub on a lot of fo channels, Not because i don't want to watch their videos anymore but because I forget about them, and the button i clicked on to remind and promote their stuff to me doesn't do its damn job. It's why so many changes are passing the notification button, It actually does something.

Anyway, alot of people will like this because they can't put their time and effort into a 5 minute comment because your content is a (often profanity with a slur and or insult) and I don't have the time because my 'life' consists of going on 4chan and telling people that they are worthless and never had a chance to do something with their life, so they went ahead and did it. But for you, this isn't the case. You have a large fanbase with empty subscribers(more or less) and is more entitled to make a well thought and convulted rant about me if I tried to make a video of how you are a bad youtuber, so I'll just put this into something you're small brain can get around: THIS IS SHIT."

0 likesI have to say that you make a really good point in this video. I really do enjoy your content though (even if it isnât a ytp) because itâs funny and enjoyable. And I also do agree with you that people should measure the popularity of a channel by its views and not by its subscribers.
I fucking love this video more than any YTP you have created. I believe this for one simple reason, I have never heard anyone go over YouTube subscribers in this much depth before. It is something that I had thought about while looking at different YouTube channels but had never truly put two and two together. Overall, this video deserves a 10/10 for quality information and speculation.

First with the title screen of Silly Songs with Larry, and now with what I recognize as "Larry's High Silk Hat", but probably it's a folk song they retooled. Regardless, I suggest ingesting more Veggies to get more fiber in your diet and get rid of the excess mass on your subscriber number. Jokes aside, we oughta petition Google / completely spam their corporate emails to add an option for YouTubers to be able to delete their subscribers en masse. A giant delete button for everything. Then people who actually care about their favorite channels will subscriber again. Rant rant rant you actually inspired me to go stick posters on light/telephone poles in my city to inform peeps about YTPs and the oppression of animation on YouTube. Yeah yeah business, but if you are owned by Google that's enough cush to last years. You don't need to monetize views.
0 likesIt is indeed a fascinating phenomenon that people can subsist off YouTube, but
Now I need to go research what factors feed into money in youtibe, if it's view time, sub count, or sheer number of ads...
Want to know what is sad.. I experience the same thing with empty subs and I only have about 1.3k. I decided in the beginning of the year to turn the sub count off so people would not judge my videos based on the sub count. I also hoped that it would dissuade people from subscribing because of the large number.. The problem I have is I made 1 video that does extremely well for me, and everyone just subs from that one video and do not bother to watch anything else I put out. I hate the idea that I am pretty much being pigeon holed into doing 1 thing even though I like doing a variety of things. Great video EmpLemon!

0 likesYo Emp, I think you'd be glad to hear that, unlike most people, I like making repeated viewings of things I've seen many a time, and it's the same with your videos as well, so on most of your videos (including your YTPs, by the way, consistently great work on those, props) at least five or six of those views are from me, as I (ahem) subscribe to the notion you preached in your "YouTube's Downward Spiral" video that viewers should actively look for what they want to watch, and most of what I view are things I want to watch over and over due to their quality.
0 likes(also lol to the fact I just realized as of finishing this message that I made this exactly one year after you uploaded this video)
This video got me thinking why did I ever subscribe to certain channels that feel stale and boring to me now.

0 likesI haven't had Hawaiian pizza so I can't have an opinion on it's pineapplosity.

0 likesI haven't uploaded a youtube poop of ERB in a long time and I only have a thousand subscribers, and I'm okay with it. There are things in real life that changed me between 2012 and 2017. Believe me, I went through a huge change in my life and this video clearly explains why there are people out there that move on to other stuff. And I agree with one of the commenters, people don't have the time to watch every single video some channel makes every single day. They just need it when they feel like watching it, not come back every day like it's a habit. So I do agree with the empty subscribers but I haven't gotten empty subscribers to be honest. And also I forgot to subscribe to you when I watched your videos.
I love you and your video editing, Emplemon
0 likesI feel like I may be the only subscriber left, I just find your videos funny.
0 likesyou're still a pretty good YouTuber. still love your content ._. big fan.
0 likesThe good thing about Watchmojo is that if you have a very specific (or autistic) interest, you can bet that they have either made a video for one's own interests, or they will do so very soon. What I can't understand is why people bother to subscribe to Watchmojo if they have no intent on watching most of their videos.
0 likesThat has to do with the pareto's principle. (A S C E N D I N G marketing tech nerd here) roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. can be translated to views/subscribers
0 likesHonestly considering I have less than 100 subs and get really god damn annoyed at only getting ~10 views per video lately (even if the view count is actually all over the place, according to my analytics) I can only imagine how insanely frustrating it is for someone with an actual sub count.
0 likesI respect you as a person my dude
0 likesYou might as well have 8:36 to 9:12 as its own video.
0 likesThat was pretty accurate though.
I unsubscribed from that shit over a year ago as a result.
Never did I expect a video about phantom subs to have Weatherscan music :P
0 likesWhen you want your channel to lose subscribers but you end up going up 50k subs, FUCKING WHOOPS!!
0 likesWow, this is actually kinda eye-opening for me.
0 likesIt's a good thing that YouTube isn't your job. YouTube is very unreliable when it comes to ad revenue.
1 likeI've run out of ideas for a unique and funny comment so...
0 likesThank you EmporerLemon, you've opened my eyes
I don't understand how your old audience can bitch about you not making youtube poop when in a way you still are. You incorporated the art form into your commentary videos, which seems far more impressive. (Not to dis YTP's)
0 likes>"A youtube subscriber is a human being, capable of making critical decisions...."
0 likesAnd... THERE is the hilarious content I subbed for...
I have a bunch of subscriptions to YT channels that I haven't really bothered with for quite some time, but once in a blue moon, I will check out some of those channels and see if they made anything new or recheck out the old content I enjoyed ages ago.
0 likes8:33 THAT WAS UNEXPECTED
2 likesI go through my subs every now and then and purge anything I can't remember watching recently. If I ain't watching or they ain't uploading, all it is is clutter.
0 likesI don't know how you stretched out such a simple topic to 16 minutes. Great presentation, but I feel like you are just venting to me.
0 likesYour rants are quite funny

0 likesEmpty subscribers, empty souls.
0 likesI really enjoy the taste of pineapple on pizza. But not all the time, sometimes the sweet taste is too irritating. To be honest, I like pineapple in general. So I really don't know if I like pineapple on pizza or just pineapple in general.
0 likesI am not an empty subscriber

0 likeshow about they give channels the power to purge subscribers?
0 likesI RESPECT YOU, BARNICLE MAN!
0 likesIs it possible for empty subscribers to be revived? I was inactive on your channel for a while, but I'm back now and here to stay
0 likesHonestly, the comment rant is a very knowledgeable argument, so I propose this to you. Perhaps the comments are an equal 50/50 split between the insightful commentors and the regular ones, but the reason why the regular comments always have 100+ likes is because as a regular commenter you would like every single comment that pops up, but with insightful commentors, they take time to read and respond without liking because of the merit of the comment they've read.
0 likesEmp current sub count: 228k as of nov 18 2017. 101k+ subs.

I actually enjoy this channel funny snd actually original you gotta sub from Me dude
0 likesI kinda feel bad for not commenting on your videos now, Keep up with the quality fucking videos pal,
0 likesI love you're videos.
0 likesThose people who don't watch the commentaries are blind. They are basically their own YTP
0 likesWe need a Dead Account Purge. If you aren't using your account at all, then it simply must go. If you haven't watched a certain channel in too long a time, you must be unsubscribed. This needs to happen for the sake of YouTube's survival.
0 likesAlso, completely wipe ads off of the face of this website. I don't want to sit through 30, 15, or even 6 seconds without a Skip Ad button. I want a world where the Skip Ad button isn't even necessary because there are no ads on online videos.
jokes on you your latest video and this one are about a year apart, but are still the same type of content (down to the same style of ending)

What? you wan't people to use logic and reasoning? Why, that's the most absurd idea I have ever heard! Why would anyone make a reasonable comment that isn't complete garbage? ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME? LOOK AT MY GIANT FONT IS IT LOUD ENOUGH FOR YOU TO SEE? Anyways I really need friends like you that have some common sense and understand some logic. It's hard to find these days.

0 likesIâm not a YouTuber, or a pooper, but if you really want to lose your empty subscribers, why donât you just-
0 likes1. Create a new channel name
2. Make a new video, telling people the name of your new channel.
That way, people who donât watch wonât go to the new name... crazy thought I know!
also as some criticism, quit talking about yourself so much... you seem to have a high opinion of yourself b/c you like to talk about you... A LOT!

If I had to guess
1 like1. You would be essentially throwing away a brand (all the views, history, and video recommendations) that you cultivated just to get rid of-
2. Shadows that aren't even worth the effort of getting rid of and-
3. Let's say you did create a new channel and all your active subs followed. It won't fix the fundamental problem, that your views are decreasing per video.
So in conclusion, making a new channel wouldn't be worth it just to get rid of people that aren't even around.
