My Youtube Days When I Ruled Youtube... · 4:01am Jun 23rd, 2014

SUPERCHARGER2001

Man, I remember the days where I was offered money in monitization from Youtube back when I was bringing in 30,000 views every week. This was on my first account called: as you guessed it, SUPERCHARGER2001 and my goal was to catch up and get more views than my friend, who happened to have over 42,000 views on his channel and loved to gloat about it. So, I started and uploaded these cheesy, but first experience videos about top ten songs and what-not. It was amazing to get 10 views on one video as I felt like a king for it. My friend said "don't sweat it, Jeremy. That's what your supposed to feel like." So, I took that as a direct attack and I began uploading more videos frequently; which later inspired myself to start uploading TV series and lyrical metal videos. It was a great combo as no one had ever attempted something like it, before. Then, I uploaded Lizard Lick Towing videos, and that is when shit changed. Now, I had a mix between Tru TV fans, Australian TV-Teen Drama fans, and metalheads across the globe watching my ass and expecting something great every week. And I did give them something good, I did.

But, then, after posting one of the first leaked vids for Machine Head's then-new "Locust" single on youtube, and gaining 22,000 views in the process in a matter of a few weeks. Things grew big, like literally big. Fucking huge in fact, I started sporting more TV show episodes and scaling back my time on videos of music with lyrics slapped on. My last one ever was the song; In The Presence Of My Enemies, and that was fun because no one else had posted something that song before. So it was a nice treat. At this point I incorporated a lot of Life's A Zoo.tv episodes and it was a total contrast from my other shows I had posted, and it was a nice blend of Canadian animation TV mixed with the latter two. This all happened in July of 2011. I had only been on Youtube for three months and I already achieved 315,000 views at this point. And I had just crossed over a 100 subscribers. It was a blessing to have such high-times, but best of all; I've beaten my friend by over 250,000 more views. I was happy. I was proud.

I was so glad I decided to throw another account simply called SUPERCHARGER2012 in September of that year, and it achieved substantially less but only because I never tried to subdue that account as another global-marketing for views on a website, instead it was just for laughs while I posted silly favorites on that channel and I never posted one video on it. Until later on, that is...

By November I was raking in a lot views, and I only ever wanted views and nothing else because money could mean I would go to court if I took money from something that wasn't my product, and I didn't want that. So, I gladly stuck with posting TV shows and that was it. Plus at this point I gave up on posting musical lyric videos and stuck to where the power was at. It suited me, well. I was about 200 subscribers in and just crossed 500,000 views.

The Final Months

I was in a bad-way at the tail end of December as I was slapped with my first copyright strike for posting a Walking Dead episode on my channel. I was flabbergasted, in distraught because this never happened to me before, and I didn't want men and woman to stop saying they love me and thought I was superior for making their days better by posting Australian and American Television. I wouldn't allow for it to become that way, at all....

So I digressed, and this time I went extra careful with posting another clip, another episode of the Walking Dead, and it almost worked until they caught me again a few hours after posting it. This was January, and boy was I fucking scared. During the last two months views were getting stir-crazy and I was posting more and more of Lizard Lick Towing to compensate as SLiDE (The Australian Television) had already ended and was cancelled by the studio who made the show over a month later. Life's A Zoo.tv has always been an indie thing on my channel and I could never find the episodes since they weren't out on DVD yet at the time and I only could get about 8 episodes of the show, and they were already posted by August.

I believed it was during this period where I was reaching an average of 25 subscribers per week. And about 6-20,000 views per week, also.

At this point I released about 58 videos and my final one was the 59th video.

The Fall Of SUPERCHARGER2001

This happened in February 12-22nd, in that little time-frame, but before that, just before that, about three weeks earlier. My shit escalated even further and I gained up to 25,000 views per week until my last week where I was just crossed 850,000 views and was raking 17,000 views per day and had already reached 545 subscribers online, and my average messages and PM's were about 35 a day.

Now, before I continue I want to tell you how it was so easy at first without all that hassle, so easy until I posted my first concert videos in July 2011 of System Of A Down at their reunion show in five years. And it was fucking mezmerizing because I was there!!!!! I was at their first concert, and ever since I posted those vids my perception of views on Youtube changed, and it was a start of 9 months of reveling in views, subscribers, messages, personal messages and respect among some great Youtubers in on that site. I even got people like Dcigs and DanQ8000 to subscribe to my channel!

It was just after seeing my views sky-rocket to 960,788 views the night before where I was screeching with excitement because I was very close to 1,000,000 views.

Then, the next day I look and TruTV and FoxTel fucking made Youtube send copyright strikes on my ass and I was terminated from Youtube.
Outcast, shunned, gotten rid of, and most of all...forgotten.

In the end, sadly enough, but surprisingly when I think about it now, because I was so pissed off at the time. But now I think of it as an awesome opportunity that I had on Youtube. I ended up scoring 960,788 views and 550 subscribers in a matter of 10 months of being on that site.

That is my greatest accomplishment online to this very day.

I tried again, and I ended up, after a few months, I was terminated on my other account; SUPERCHARGER2012 after posting more Lizard Lick Towing videos, and basically rehashing my whole catalog again, hoping to maybe get some sort of relevance once more. The account was cancelled three months later. And I got up to 138,000 views and over a 100 subscribers after starting from scratch again...

On those channels, I posted lyric stuff from Machine Head, Metallica, System Of A Down, Metallica&Lou Reed, Slipknot and TV shows; Lizard Lick Towing, SLiDE and Life's A Zoo.tv

I wonder if anyone ever knew that account?

Now, I own another account with original name; NEWSUPERCHARGER2001 before Youtube allowed me to put back SUPERCHARGER2001 again, so now it's been a year for that account and I only have 87 subscribers and 63,636 views. It's not bad, if you are new to Youtube, I mean.

But man, my days of Youtube are loooooong gone.....
