Well, once I hit organically a little over 900 subscribers, I decided I'd google sites that promised to be real, and wouldn't affect YouTube's monetization policy. The reason I'm giving 4 stars, instead of 5, well, I'll start with the cons. Like the negative review says, there is no 24/7 support like they claim, when you create a "ticket" about any questions or concerns, it doesn't get read. To be fair, I haven't emailed them, as all of the issues/questions I had were solved on their own. Based on what they say on their website, because they claim they deliver "real subscribers", they do disclaim that your subs can drop, as people can simply unsub, but that they offer a refill policy, which, while hasn't worked, I never lost more than a 3rd. I do not know if the people who subscribed simply were real people who saw a notification from my videos, and were confused and then unsubscribed, or if my organic subscribers simply unsubscribed as I have changed the topic of my channel. Another con, although they tell you to begin with, is when buying views, they disclaim there's a very low watch time retention, so if you're trying to get your hours in to become monetized, it's kind of futile, although it does give your audience the impression that many people liked the video. Another con that others have mentioned regarding the views, is that they are virtually delivered within 2-3 hours, and then nothing. So it looks strange on the analytics in YT Studio. Another con, is when buying likes, they are delivered instantly, so if anyone is monitoring your channel, that will look suspicious immediately.
On to the pros. It works. I started with 920+ subscribers, and bought 150, and it worked. I did lose some subscribers over time, but again, I am not sure if it's real people unsubscribing, or bots being detected. Regardless, within a month of using this service on a weekly basis, I am now well over 2k subscribers, and in YouTube Studio, I got a congratulations message for when I hit 1k and for when I hit 2k.
All in all, I can see why some people have complaints and have left negative reviews, but for me, it did what I needed it to do, which was get past 1k subs. Ordering views works as well, and the videos I purchased views for, retain the views. The only issue regarding this, is I noticed that when ordering views, NOT likes, sometimes the video will get likes, only for them to be removed. Not sure why that happens, but all in all, I now have more subscribers than my enemy, so I'm content. I only worry about uploading new videos, as that's usually when I lose some subscribers, which makes sense that they are actually real subscribers who simply wonder how they're subscribed to me, and click unsubscribe.
As far as Stormviews as a company, only one person (unless they have told anyone else) knows that I am using their service. I have thought about purchasing subscribers for friends as surprise gifts, and I have also thought about telling people about the "secret", but have so far kept it to myself.
As for me, my YouTube channel is mainly a variety channel, with anything from travel videos, music, drama, news, etc... however I am now going to be having more live videos.
Tip for consumers:
While this site has worked for me and my channel, there is no help center like they claim, which I see many of the 1 star reviews mentioning. I also noticed that people are complaining about losing some subscribers. This is disclaimed as they claim since they are "real subscribers" they might unsubscribe, so my tip would be, make a video that strangers from around the world might find interesting, such as a cooking video, music, or something interesting.
