To my students: I've seen several of you getting into this trend of subscribing to each other's YouTube channels and getting the word out to your networks so you can have the 1,000 subscribers necessary to monetize. I'm thrilled that your creating and placing new and existing content. If you send me a link, I'll subscribe AND I will post it on my social media as well so my "friends" can, hopefully, subscribe as well. - Dr. Carter
