i have search all around the web for a simple answer to a question about youtube new "invisible channel" mode. When I activity hide my channel from the public when they try to access my channel does it still get a channel view or not? I do like channel views but i dislike trolls but having a hidden channel could also effect how many subscribers i get per hour ~ conflicted....

When my channel is hidden i get pms like "yo ' ,' why is your channel hidden?" but from like 50+ people per hour until the channel is made public again and im like........really?

there is an option to filter incomming pms that are not friends but when i had this enabled useful pms get blocked because they were not in my friends list.

im just tired of all the spam/youtube trolls out there posting such dumb comments that seem to allude common sense.

You just have to learn to deal with it or get off youtube...instead of trying to stop it just try to ignore it.

ya thats not really helpful but i do like that quote of myself. might add it to my profile but with the account name removed.
