YouTube Collabs Are Better Than I Realised! Has Anyone Tried Them?

I only just discovered this today after collaborating with another channel. YouTube allows us to add collaborators and send and accept invites as one which displays the collab video on both or more creators channels, how cool is that! It means you can do a collab for their channel and they still receive some promotion from your own subscribers to their channel and video without needing to make as much effort in promoting with the added benefit that as a one way collab still are benefitting still instead of it seeming one sided. Really love this. Anyone else tried it? What do you make of it? Did the collaboration and the feature actually bring you new subscribers/views?

I played fortnite with some people last night and they were nice but I didn't really think we had chemistry and only they were able to stream it. Not really sure where to find the right people to collab with.

Id say here but we dont have a large memberbase yet. I know theres a lot of collab services out there but unsure if any have creator to creator features, they all look like creator and business.

I'm on some discords where I could probably find people, but to do so means weeding through all the people I'm not gonna want to collab with, and I guess I have trouble streaming with someone and then telling them "yeah I just wasn't really feeling it sorry", and a lot of the people who are looking for collabs specifically say they don't want anyone my age. There's a lot of "looking for 18 to 25 year olds to stream with" ads and stuff.

Ive experienced the age thing but was a cop out lol me and my friends worked together with a young lad on a collab and just before its release he said were adults and too old to work with so our videos become pointless as we had already organised and edited etc. The next day he collaborated with a large channel around 1 million subs who was an adult too, pushed his channel into massive views and left us for dust lol little shit Do you have any people on Discord who you speak to regularly who record etc or would want to just be in your videos maybe?

Crabby is just part of the Symph cycle lol I hope you feel better and more yourself soon though, not sleeping is awful and especially when the only thing helping affects your mood. You will bounce back though.

I am sure theres places or an app for creators to get collabs with similar channels but even then you need to find people who are a good match, similar to dating really.
