I would definitely prefer to get views over subs, but its definitely cool to see someone subscribe as it means they like your stuff and want to see more as soon as possible
Subs or Views?

As you said, ideally you want both. But if I had to pick I would say views.
I create content so people can enjoy it, views are the only proven way to know people are actually VIEWING your stuff. However I feel like subscribers motivate a creator to keep the channel going, knowing that people are subscribed to you and waiting to see what your next video is about makes me feel like I want to provide some good videos to my subscribers.
In the end they both go hand and hand.

Definitely views, while it's great to have many subs(I am guessing as I don't lol), it makes no difference if they aren't watching your videos. The more views you get the better places in the search rankings which then equals to more views etc. I mean some small channels may have just their friends and family subbed but how often do you think those people actually watch the videos? So definitely views

It's a tough one but I would personally with subs. While views are great subs (and I mean REAL subs not those subs4subs BS!!) are for me the only real way of seeing your channel grow!

i think the subs and view counts are no where near important as the likes and dislikes, because subs don't mean they like your video.. a view doesn't mean they like your video, its not accurate, but likes and dislikes tell you a lot and should be most important for you

My husband told me yesterday "Hey the first video of our trip to Hiroshima has more than 1500 views !" And I have like 300 subs something and he looks creepy on the thumbnail. So I guess views are nice.
But having subs also feel like you are creating a community on your channel. I am glad people decide to join us I know noone in real life

This is a tricky one.
At the end of the day, views are what counts.
BUT... subscribers are the way to get views consistently. Sure, you can have a great video that goes viral resulting in a million views in a week, but that's only short term success. If you want to succeed in long term, you need a consistent source of views.

I'll go for subs! Subscribing to a youtube channel means (in most cases) that you like their content and want to see their future videos, for me as an 'artist' that really motivates me to keep improving the quality of my videos.
