Yes, it is illegal, against YouTube policy, and it's against TubeBuddy policy. Why would anyone want to buy subs and views that aren't real and get banned from YouTube for life?

The proper way to get subs and views is produce good content that people want to watch. It takes a long time and a lot of hard work.

Think of it this way. You're the owner of a tech business and you hire a person whose resume says he/she has the experience and education with coding that can make your business more money so you hire them. Turns out he was buying code from a website and passing it as his own but then you need him for a special project where he's unable to complete it because he can't get the coding he needs because it doesn't exist and he lied about his knowledge so he can't make the coding. Then you find out he's not the expert you thought he was. He lied to get the job, used fake coding to show off his skills and took your money while not actually working.

Basically, this is what happens when someone tries to cheat YouTube into giving them monetization. The problem becomes that even if you manage to get 1000 subs and 4000 view hours through cheating (wasting money in the process) and manage to get into the YTPP, you still have to get views in order to get paid by YouTube and it will take hundreds of thousands of views to see any worthwhile money and it will cost you more to pay for views than the money you'll make so it will be an even bigger waste of money. And that's if YouTube doesn't catch on, which they will because Youtube has been doing this long enough to know how cheating works. In essence, if you found these videos, YouTube knows about these videos and knows how to find out who's cheating.

It's that simple.

Yeah I suggest taking a look at the thread @CyberSorcerer is referring to. This is a hot topic around here and one that is likely to get you some critical insight (aka members may get a little testy about it). Long story short, don't do it. It's dumb. It hurts you on so many levels, it's amateur.

If you really wanna make out with YouTube, then I guess buying subs is a total crime against their policy and if caught that surely will be the end of all your hustled time spent so far. Never buy subs nor watchtime. Create a meaningful video which your audience are much into it, and am sure subs and views will pop out in no time if hard work is applied.

We are here to make videos... we are content creators. For better or for worse all these analytics (including subscriber and view counts) are not a measure of success and they are not the sole thing that anyone needs to focus on. Anyone who is buying subs/views etc is only ruining the actual product they make (the video). Focus on getting better and making great content. The rest will follow.

Sub4sub and all this BS talk about buying subscribers and views. They get what is coming to them courtesy of YouTube when they give them an account spanking. Yeah, that is me getting "testy". I seriously need to avoid certain discussion threads.
