Some time ago I wrote about people on eBay selling YouTube views. Since then, the YouTube services offered on eBay have expanded into other areas.

Earlier as I was wandering around the internet I stumbled upon an auction offering the opportunity to buy YouTube subscribers. The seller doesn’t have a ton of feedback, but enough that you can see he is apparently delivering the product as described.

Of course, we can only assume that the subscribers you get aren’t actual human visitors but rather accounts created in bulk by the seller. However, this doesn’t make the service worthless. Depending on what your personal goals are with YouTube, it may serve you to have an additional 2,000 subscribers displayed on your channel, even if they aren’t real people that are actively watching your videos.

The reason for this is that a lot of YouTube users will attribute more credibility to a channel with a high number of subscribers. Even though it seems silly, it’s just the nature of the YouTube beast. Even if you only have a handful of videos, people will be more likely to watch just because they want to see what all the fuss is about.

Another benefit is that gaining a bunch of subscribers rapidly can help propel you into the “most subscribed” category for that week or month or whatever it may be, giving you further visibility and triggering the snowball effect similar to that which we’ve seen with videos that accumulate massive amounts of views quickly (even if they are artificially generated views).

If you decide to use this YT subscription service, please be sure to of course leave feedback on eBay but also come back here and post your experience as a comment.

Also, keep in mind that there is always a risk associated with using these paid services to game YouTube (or any other site, for that matter). If you were to purchase 50,000 subscribers, for example, you would most likely be very much “on the radar” and in all likelihood have your account terminated.

Good luck!
