So VidIQ...
I used to use VidIQ's checklist extension back when I first started, I watched their videos, I used their website daily. However, as I've learned my way around youtube I've come to feel that the tool may actually be HURTING the very users it claims to help. So through many, many small-scale tests and comparisons, from its attempts to "fix" titles to scraping data from Youtube as a whole so poorly that it may be causing its users to plagiarize without them knowing, let's have a look at why you SHOULDN'T use VidIQ.
