How Many Accounts do I need?`

I keep reading about you guys having hundreds of youtube accounts
how many minimum should I try to create just to be competitive?

depends on what you are doing...

You don't need to have 100's of youtube accounts. I just make them when i need them. If your youtube comment spamming then you'll need 1000's -

Think of it this way....from what you are doing are you going to get banned? if so then you'll need alot...if not then you'll need very little. You'll know right away how much you need when you start uploading..
