Dude, they're agreeing with you. Some people said they deleted their blogs for lack of following, and their response was that you shouldn't worry about the following, you should worry about the story you want to tell.

When I ended my series I had 48 subscribers and I love ever single one of them. For some reason my series gained about 30 subs post-mortem and counting. Don't be discouraged, you ALWAYS have a fanbase, whether it be big or small.

Don't delete your series because then next time no one will follow you in fear that you might get discouraged again and delete your series again. You don goofed

The reason I deleted my blog was because I felt I had nobody following it at ALL.

Nobody ever commented on any posts, and nobody ever made themselves known. For all I know, NOBODY read my blog.

I'm not saying fans need to comment on every post, just once in a while would be nice. Nobody ever did, so I figured no one would miss it.

And besides, people didn't like my character's name and what he liked, so I wanted to throw that behind me.

I figured nobody cared because my work wasn't good enough.

That is why I am considering everything that I learned from when I was running my blog and from other blogs to make my podcast, and stressing over every detail, so that people will actually enjoy it.

I just want to clarify, I don't care about popularity. I'm not trying to be the next great ARG writer or whatever. If you try to do that you set yourself up for failure right there.

I would just like more people to actively read and comment on the work I do. It's kind of desolate when you have about 300 views and one whole comment on 20+ blog posts.

So, what happens if Youtube deletes an old Vlog because it has inactivity but still causes traffic? That seems sort of innapropriate.

I wonder if users are allowed to transfer creators' work onto other horizons, with due credit too?

For example, The hypothetical transfer of TribeTwelve to Vimeo (with the creator's permission/credit?)

For what it's worth, I don't think any of the deleted series were deleted by YouTube, so that's a red herring. My playlists include channels that haven't had any activity for like two years and they're still right there. All of the deleted channels that I'm aware of were deliberately deleted by their creators.

I actually touched upon this about a week ago on the master list's blog (right here).

Honestly, there have been some good reasons as to why some blogs/vlogs have been wiped/deleted, but it's be nice and appreciated if the creators backed up their work on another blog/channel/document/etc. so that people can read/watch them.

You have no idea just how many dead links and empty blogs and vlogs there are... And, going through my list, there are a decent amount, which is saddening :c

People will read your blogs and watch you vlogs, you just have to give it time. You guys can't just instantly assume that, since you only have one follow (that isn't me), that your work is unappreciated. I do my best with trying to promote blogs/vlogs on the master list and on Oh Snap! Slender Man, but I usually work with people helping me to promote, too. But, keep writing, even if you only have one or two readers/watcher, it doesn't matter, as long as you're having fun writing and filming, it shouldn't really matter :p

So, please, just keep your blogs and vlogs around, there are a lot of people that appreciate all of the blogs and vlogs and want to watch and read them all

Posted this the other day in the creator's group. Don't give up when not many people like your series. Just keep on trucking, even if there are flaws!

I noticed the author of Eldest K hasn't posted in a while. I actually liked it.
