YouTube launched its first ad concept in 2006 and, by 2007, YouTube started paying users for their content. Meanwhile, channels posting popular content can earn a sizable living doing so.

With an enormous channel and content base that continues to grow, the competition for fame on YouTube is tougher than ever. What happened to old-fashioned popularity? Seed text can be given for comments, and the delay time between posts can be specified. This software might involve pasting the link to the channel or video in question and then checking boxes to determine if you want the bots to like, comment, or subscribe. Ironically, there are also YouTube videos showing step-by-step tutorials on how to get sub bots up and running. Some sites offer free plans to get users started, while plans with more features can start as low as $10–$15 for 10 subscribers or 600 views per day. Setting up a botting service can be as simple as subscribing to a website which handles the bots automatically, with essentially zero effort on your end. In extreme cases, it might even mean making it to the front page.

Many viewers are inherently drawn to famous channels or popular videos, while YouTube’s suggestion and ranking algorithms also pick up on popular content. The idea is that popularity begets popularity. Sub bots artificially inflate a channel’s number of subscribers or a video’s number of views, likes, and comments. But when it comes to millions of fake YouTube views, subscriber bots take the role of those companions too far. Many of us have Siri, Alexa, or our Google Assistant handle our daily questions, comments, and concerns.
