Many new people view this place in a manner adverse to our intentions when we operate. We intend for it to be a place where one can come and get scores of knowledge to help them grow. SEO tips, graphics, and other miscellaneous bits and pieces of knowledge to help on grow their channel. These are the things that result in true organic growth of one's brand. Organic growth is the only true growth, relying on a particular community to get your content does not help you grow, despite the occasional gain of views and subscribers when doing it.
Adversely, many new people show up here and view it as yet another medium for advertising their content. These people have the sole intention of getting views and subscribers without the intention of helping someone else get the same. Interestingly enough, that is a positive and a negative, when you put the two together you get zero. That logic states: +1 - 1 = 0, meaning they don't gain anything from their post here, since they only want to help themselves, but at the same time, nobody wants to help them.
It is not wrong to think that the majority of these people are desperate to reach the vision they have of their channel. Evident by the methods that they have chosen to use in an effort to try to 'grow' the channel, their vision came to them in a ridiculous pipe dream, making whatever plan they had for their channel something that will never come to be.
I have given up on trying to help these people, but I'll pass it to you. Your one and true community, the only one that will help you grow, is YouTube. Reddit does not help you grow, these forums or any other forum do not help you grow, Google communities, Facebook pages (that are not yours), they do not help you grow whatsoever. YouTube and YouTube alone is where your channel is, so that is where you viewers are. Your viewers have never heard of /r/NewTubers, or whatever Google community one might use, they only know YouTube. You must know how to manipulate YouTube to your greater advantage if you want to succeed.
