Do you keep your likes and subscriptions public or private?

Likes are public, subscriptions are private. Mainly because the channel looks cluttered if it shows who I'm subscribed to.

I keep both public, but I don't allow my likes to appear in my feed because I pop a like to a lot of videos so I don't want it to A) crowd my viewers and B) push my uploads down the activity feed. Allowing people to see the videos I've liked and channels I'm subbed to, should help give them an idea of what I like and whether they can feel better connected to me, in doing so I feel it increases the chances of creating a better connection with supporters. If I was much bigger though, say around 100k+ subs with major growth, I'd start hiding the subs because even at my small level I get some messages along the lines of "Hey I see you like SeaNanners, I make videos similar to his I'm a blood sucking leech scum who doesn't give a s**t if you leave your inbox open for genuine supportersakjsdhasdkjhsadhkajdhsadkjhasdhkajs" and that kind of crap, so eventually I'll hide it. In terms of promotional stuff, I do feel annoyed that it can direct people away from my channel but what kind of person would I be if I was subscribed to someone I enjoyed and then tried to say people weren't allowed to watch their stuff?

I don't feel bad about it, I get p****d off about it, that people have the audacity to assume that I'd just replace or liken them to Nanners and invade my inbox space which is meant to be reserved for my supporters.
 
My likes are private because I often just like videos that I want to come back to later which include YouTube channel growth, Music Production & sometimes videos specific to my real-life friends. However, I keep my subscriptions public and have select ones on my channel as recommended or similiar kind of as a nod/shoutout to channels that are bigger than mine. Which is kind of a weird little hope in my back of my mind they'll see it somehow and want to collaborate.
 
I keep everything public. But I'm very careful with my likes, and I've never shared a video. I usually only like a video that is made from a friend, or if a channel of around my size decides to like each others videos. But that hasn't happened to me in a while.

I keep my subs public, my likes private (only so my feed doesn't get clogged up) and my stats public (I only just recently found out you could hide them!).
