It's also interesting that the sub count on youtube itself is always about 150 behind the one listed on socialblade.freesocks wrote: Fri Oct 06, 2017 1:46 pm I'm not sure if I should be proud or ashamed of the fact that I have finally reached a level of procrastination that includes watching the Real Time YouTube Subscriber Count on Socialblade.

This. is. beautiful. Please can any mad scientists out there currently working on their pet translators divert their energies to a D&P translator? What if we could just know when Dan saying 'ask me again in two months' really means 'we will never speak of this again lol' or when Phil saying 'haha' really means 'I will burn you to the ground then salt the earth'. What a simpler world it would be.willowgarden wrote: Fri Oct 06, 2017 11:22 amIf that happenedfancybum wrote: Fri Oct 06, 2017 6:07 amDan and Misc Watch 2017

8:45 "DanAndPhilGAMES is almost at 3M subscribers!" blooper video will be released to celebrate when it happens
11:35 "So tomorrow is hopefully, if that happened, when it could come out."
english subtitles: the video is edited and queued after selecting the clips for the last two weeks, and my YouTube dinosaur senses tell me that algorithmically 3 mil is guaranteed on Friday, so I've set it to publish at 10 pm while me and Dan -- Dan and I -- are at the cinema watching Wind River
I really should learn more about how accurate socialblade is and how they get their numbers, since I look at it semi-frequently (although not usually the live count), but a basic search didn't give me much and I am too lazy to spend hours researching it (for now at least).onceinaugust wrote: Fri Oct 06, 2017 2:21 pmIt's also interesting that the sub count on youtube itself is always about 150 behind the one listed on socialblade.freesocks wrote: Fri Oct 06, 2017 1:46 pm I'm not sure if I should be proud or ashamed of the fact that I have finally reached a level of procrastination that includes watching the Real Time YouTube Subscriber Count on Socialblade.

But only 500 to go!
Seconding this. We already have a ship-appropriate emoticon too!
Yay! 3 million!

I'm not sure which is more accurate and the difference isn't usually huge so I find myself looking at socialblade simply because I find the live count more exciting!goldenmermaid wrote: Fri Oct 06, 2017 3:45 pm So are we going with the socialblade subscriber count?? cause that is over 3 million but the youtube channel is still like 50 away (although I am sure they'll get this v soon)
I would personally make a thousand accounts and subscribe and then force every person I know to subscribe so I estimate 10 days?:) Don't underestimate the power of the demon-phanniesliola wrote: Fri Oct 06, 2017 3:46 pm Memo for Dan and Phil: always promise bloopers to get subscribers faster than usual.
How long would it take for Phil to surpass Dan If he promised the unedited footage of the first PINOF?
Oh my god, i would harass all my family/friends/neighbours/son's teachers to subscribe to him to make this happen!liola wrote: Fri Oct 06, 2017 3:46 pm Memo for Dan and Phil: always promise bloopers to get subscribers faster than usual.

I think the biggest obstacle would be Dan, since he seems to hate footage of him at 18. Dan vs. the demon-phannies - I'd watch! Actually, the more I think about it, Phil is the more secretive one. I think the Tumblr servers would just be so overwhelmed that they explode.998274 wrote: Fri Oct 06, 2017 3:51 pmI would personally make a thousand accounts and subscribe and then force every person I know to subscribe so I estimate 10 days?:) Don't underestimate the power of the demon-phanniesliola wrote: Fri Oct 06, 2017 3:46 pm Memo for Dan and Phil: always promise bloopers to get subscribers faster than usual.

That'd be awkward if they drop back under three mil in a day or two. I think that happened to Jimmy when he hit 100k, he dropped back under it and then hit it a second time.malday wrote: Fri Oct 06, 2017 4:13 pm Congrats on 3 million!
I hope people didn't actually make fake accounts to push it faster because youtube purges those from time to time.
The channel is updated now and has over 3 million! I'm so excited.

Do subscriber numbers = better income/success in any way or is success measured in actual views?
(closest sugary emoji I can find).If that happens they could make a second bloopers video to celebrate it.alittledizzy wrote: Fri Oct 06, 2017 4:18 pmThat'd be awkward if they drop back under three mil in a day or two.

I think the views are more important.SneakyLizard wrote: Fri Oct 06, 2017 4:25 pmmalday wrote: Fri Oct 06, 2017 4:13 pm Congrats on 3 million!

Yeah, bit worried about this myself. It seems dishonest (on the subscriber's part) as well, and maybe diminishes the accomplishment
Looking forward to whatever they've put together, I love candid dnp moments, even ones that aren't actually funny, just unscripted
Views are what counts the most for AdSense, which is why you can only monetize your videos after you get a certain number of views (10k) and not when you reach a certain number of subscribers. That said, logically the more subscribers you have the higher your views will be, but that doesn't account for sudden viral videos people might get. However, the algorith facts both things when it estimates the income of an ad on a video, so it's not always the same. But if you look at estimates on socialblade, for example, you see that while Dan and Phil have a 2M subscribers difference, their estimated incomes are pretty much the same because they have a close number of views and engagement.SneakyLizard wrote: Fri Oct 06, 2017 4:25 pmmalday wrote: Fri Oct 06, 2017 4:13 pm Congrats on 3 million!
