YouTube Subscribers.

Not so long ago i started a YouTube channel relating to Shaving/Honing and one day restoration..

I was stuck on about 19 subscribers for quite a while until recently when i had a bump up to 30 subscribers . One of which is myself on another account haha.
My latest video has over a hundred views which means that most viewers don't subscribe or at least in my case. I have been noticing other channels subscriber numbers and i have been a little bit baffled by the success of some channels.

Recently i found out you can buy subscribers and now the fog is lifting so to speak.
God forbid i am accusing anyone of anything but when ever i see a high subscriber number now i'm thinking "um ok yeh *scratches chin*"

This also lead to me finding out you can buy Facebook friends.. I suppose you can buy real life friends so why not Facebook friends too :)

Does one get payed for having lots of friends on facebook?

Somehow that does not surprise me at all. That is par for the course these days.

Shocking....truly shocked here.

No, not at all when talking social media. :p

I am surprised these Friend companies don't advertise more.

At one time hiring managers considered 300 FB friends to be optimum for a good candidate. Don't know how 300 was determined to indicate a well rounded personality or maybe a team player.

I have a YouTube Channel, mainly desert driving and recovering cars that have got stuck in the dunes. In one video, the thumbnail included a girl, that one had a lot more initial views.

Now that is truly scary considering the OP's post. ;)

Several years ago I was working on FaceBook for a client and was able to buy a specific number of friends for a specific price (500 for so much, 1000 for a different price).

I didn't actually buy any because I wasn't sure how trustworthy the Indian guy that was selling them was.

I didn't want my clients account closed by FaceBook.

There are listings all over Google. Just search for buy facebook friends or buy youtube subscribers.

The reason that people buy youtube subscribers is that when someone gets enough they qualify to monetize their posts.

PS - I subscribed to your channel Joseph :tu

When I was in a band there were some venues that would not book us with under some number of FB friends.

Hi Joseph,

I have ordered 20mm Kapton Tape.

I have a question if I may?

Is there any reason why I shouldn’t use the Kapton Tape on it’s own without any insulating tape under it?

That works fine.. It's just personal preference.. I think of a layer of 88 and a layer of Kapton as one layer :D

I know that this question was not directed at me, but I use Kapton alone regularly when I want to protect the spine with minimum increase in bevel angle.

Thanks guys for your answers.

Unfortunately as a bit of a noob it brings up new questions.

I know that Joseph said he likes to raise the spine to get a narrower bevel, I understand. He also said that a narrow bevel for him is mostly cosmetic, or have I misunderstood?

bluesman7 says he just uses Kapton Tape so that he doesn't change the bevel angle. Keeping the spine low would obviously result in a wider bevel.

I think I am getting good at this :rofl2:

My confusion is:

1) Other than cosmetics what are the pro's and con's of a wide vs narrow bevel?

2) By using just Kapton I assume that the factory bevel could be preserved, isn't that better?

3) If a narrower bevel was better, wouldn't the factory use one?

4) By using just Kapton Tape, how much difficulty does it create should the razor be honed by someone else in future that doesn't have kapton but tapes the spine with insulating tape?

Sorry for all the questions but I couldn't believe my luck when two razor makers/restorers are both trying to help.

These are pretty good questions and they show that you are thinking about things, but I think that we should be up in the honing forum.:OT The off topic guy has a madder face than what I would express.;)

New razors do have a fine bevel but who is to say they got the angle rite?
How's that for confusion :nj

I was dealing with an old blade.. I think.. Even I'm confused now :)
