What i mean by "top heavy" is your view/sub ratio isnt really balanced.For ex: your videos get a good amount of views but your channel has very few subscribers.(The genre of your channel is a big factor of this)

My Example: I used to have a wrestling channel and its a very popular sport so most of the videos averaged 1k to 2k views per video yet most people didnt subscribe.So my views were much more substantial than my subscribers.Since people can watch wrestling on tv/dvd etc they tend to not subscribe since youtube is one out of many outlets for wrestling content.(This also can apply in vice versa substantial subcribers smaller views)

So my question is have any of you had a 'Top Heavy" channel or seen one in the past?
 
Most gaming channels are like that. I have 30 subs and Im going on 2,697 views after about 3 weeks of uploading. That is really due to a video that was shared 4 times causing it to grow in views quickly.
 
Depends how top heavy your talking, I have nowhere near 1k to compare but getting about 25 views on average with just under 400 subs seems a bit top heavy. Plus the fact I'm at 60K overall views ._.

Is 456,117 views with 128 subs considered top heavy??? Lol. that's about one sub per 3563 views. The funny thing is I've gained "a lot" of subs lately, so my ratio was even worse before.

Damn, saw the title and thought this was going to be about boobies :(

As a viewer / user, I rarely sub to a channel. But that doesn't necessarily mean I don't like a channel's content. I know where they are, how I can find them and will check out their stuff on a regular basis. I often just go on YT surfing sprees jumping from 1 channel to another via the suggested video links. I am amazed sometimes at how many channels people subscribe to. I think there are some people who treat subbing to a channel the same as a "like" or adding a "friend" on facebook, ie it doesn't necessarily count for much.
 
I've got close to 10k views and 418 subs. My channel has only been around about a month so I reckon I'm running on an even keel there (1 sub per 23 views on average)
