The problem is the chicken and the egg. What comes first? To get subs you need traffic. To get traffic you need subs and unsubbed viewers, which you won't get because you don't have traffic.
There are only a few ways to grow.
1. s4s (fake traffic, low retention, churn and burn, dangerous)
2. adwords (several months of expensive campaigns)
3. progressively target larger channels and build recommended traffic (channel shadowing)
4. external social (doesn't work for kids channels)
5. friends and family (low retention, not sustainable)
6. organic growth (really really slow, nothing may ever happen)
7. follow viral trends (can get lucky and have a hit, but have to offer a high value proposition)
8. create your own viral idea
That's pretty much it. Take your pick.
There are actually a number of Yt algos. There's search, recommended, & home page. You may want to target the search also (7) and if you can jump in quick enough on a new trend, you might get #2 or #3 position in search. Imagine the first "the floor is lava challenge" video. If you were #2 to execute that challenge, and then followed up with a few more, before all the big channels jumped in....
If you want to target the recommendation algo, look for (3). Pick 3 channels at 5k subs (that are growing in the last months or two), see what is causing them to grow and try to replicate with your own twist. Don't pick a 100k channel, pick a channel that you have a chance to be recommended on. Yt recommends in levels, if you look at the sidebar of a 1k sub channel you will see many other videos from small channels. If you look at the sidebar of ToysToSee you will likely never see a channel under 750k subs on there.
This is EXCELLENT, but one question. How do you propose you find the other channels around your sub level or channels that are growing?The problem is the chicken and the egg. What comes first?

His example included dummy youtube accounts and main instagram accounts. Considering youtube has no jurisdiction over instagram; they must've banned the dummy youtube accounts.But which account will get banned? Is it the dummy account or the account of your real channel?
I believe the parents and other tubers are supporting each other in subscribing (for kids channels). Kids usually aren't the ones to click subscribe so with this in mind, I wonder how we can reach out to parents and tubers in the same genre (outside this forum)
But the big fail on this subbing scheme is that you will have dead subs. These guys mostly aims to get subs to get views but be careful because their views will reflect to your analytics wherein they do not fully watch your video it could be like up to 20sec to a minute which is not good and youtube also uses this data in promoting a channel. Check your audience retention views make sure to keep them more than 2minutes or so
