However, I don't get the comments mailed to me, so I tend to miss out on all the "what anime was that at 3:39?" comments. O.o I also don't get to watch as the view count goes up, unless I stalk all 10 of the uploads myself. So I totally can get where someone might come from with them not wanting others to upload their videos, especially if they already run their own account. Also this doesn't always work:

That hasn't worked at all on some of my more popular videos. My "oh hai" comment usually gets drowned in all the comments.
Well it really does depend on the channel uploading it, a big channel with a solid viewership will also have many editors subscribed to it...smaller channels will be fans only. So on the big channels its likely fellow editors will thumb up the editors comment.
In the case on my youtube channel i see this happen all the time, and i know people seek out the person because i often get pms like "thanks for introducing me to xxxx"
