I keep getting "subscribe for subscribe" requests on YouTube. In my experience, these are just worthless subscribers that won't watch your content anyways. But still, this raises a few questions that I'm having.
If you know anything about me, it's that I'm all about driving traffic to my channel and hope my content converts to a subscriber, a like/dislike or a comment (or a combination of them). On Instagram, a way to expose your account (and gain more followers), is to simply follow random accounts and unfollow them a few days later, if you don't like their content - It's all about showing that you exist. If people like your content, they stick around.
I'm wondering, is this applicable for YouTube at all? If yes, then I have a follow up question:
I've noticed that sometime I get a notification and an email when a new subscriber .. well .. subscribe. I get his/her name, and link to the account. Sometimes, I notice the number of subscribers just increase without any notification. I'm at 79 subscribers now, and I'd say I've gotten around 15 notifications/emails and the rest (64 subscribers) have been "silent" ones. My guess is that it's a privacy setting. But If the "follow for follow" thing I mentioned earlier is to work, I need to set my account so that people can see that I'm following them (in order to expose my account). Anyone know anything about that?
OK, my last follow up question. Subscribe on YouTube isn't really a thing here in Sweden where I live - So I'm wondering: On average - how many channels do you think people in general subscribe to?
Holy crap, sorry for the long post. If this was 9gag I'd give ya'll a potato.
