2. YouTube subscriptions are meaningless

- I believe a subscription to a RUclips channel is as valuable as someone coming along and saying they "liked" your channel, but it's never truly a guarantee of views from that subscriber.
I completely agree. I got 1.7k subscribers from some videos getting popular, but they don't actually care about my videos. Now I'm bleeding subscribers and I feel like a failure. It sucks, I don't even want to be popular. I made a video telling people reasons they should unsubscribe yet they subscribe anyway. It's hopeless.
One reason people subscribe is to support creators. 100k milestone and etc is very valuable to RUclipsrs so they ask you to like and subscribe, etc. Or someone goes "This video was great you deserve more subs" and subscribe regardless.
P.S. this is my first video from your channel I am seeing. I love the way you talk and articulate your points and you clearly know what you're doing in terms of video production (off axis mic to reduce plosives, good framing, etc.)
I subscribed because I want to support you and because I actually intend on watching more of your videos. Best of luck :)
Hi Casey...I'm glad you were shown my video, and thank you for watching! I'm going to go and check out your channel and see what's going on over there.
Funnily enough I don’t know how I was subscribed to your channel but now I am interested
Spot on. Sometimes I subscribe because I'm interested. Sometimes they then release content months later and I'm like "Why am I subscribed to you?". And people do that to me too.
If subscribes matters so much to RUclips, why is there the bell and all that...
I disagree, I look a lot at the subscription page to see for new content. And I unsub from channels I don't watch anymore. Maybe i'm the minority, who knows...
Also i still believe the RUclips algorithm uses your subscription list as an input for what to suggest.
From the channels that upload sporadically or less that once a week i watch every video, from channels that upload more times in the week i watch just the topics that interest me.
Either way, the couple channels i watch very little off, it's not entirely a dead subscription to them, because i do still see their thumbnails, so it's a point of advertisement for them. If they would upload something that would interest me again, i'd watch. If i hadn't subscribed i might not have known.
I just subscribed because my actions are meaningless.
Lmao
I thought the channels you subscribed to had a higher chance of coming up on your yt feed? After that, its on the channel to retain that viewer
RUclips seems to show me the video I'm most likely to watch in my home feed whether I'm subscribed to the channel or not.
Honestly i just subscribe to people without thinking at all its probably over 1000 people iv subscribe to at this point . I feal like even youtube is forcing me to stop because iv bugged something to were it will randomly not let me subscribe to someone for some reason. Mabey ill go and look thru the mess someday probably not tho
LOL SAME
To me it's always been views > Comments QTY >
You're using RUclips completely wrong when it comes to Subscribing. Which is disappointing because it can be a really useful feature to people.
Your argument is like saying "Seatbelts are worthless, and they don't save lives so they are meaningless" because you don't buckle up when you get into the car.
I may be using RUclips in a way it wasn't designed to be used, but it works for me. Your analogy is almost accurate to what I'm saying. Basically I am saying "seatbelts are useless, unless you're in a collision" which in effect is true. Therefore wear your seatbelt at all times, just in case, but they're useless unless you're in a collision. Very similar to my subscription habits; I subscribe to your channel (I wear my seatbelt every day), I only watch one of your videos once a year (collisions are rare).
