In my opinion, subscribers. Because yes, it is the views that pay us and get us known but subscribers are the people who view the content and spread the word.

How bout a subscriber that views your channel's content regularly? Active subs > One time views.

i have to think it is subscribers, this coming from a success is not gaged by profits, subscribers show that the veiws are turning into repeat views. I am a little concerned that I have almost 500 views and 17 subscribers. I cant help but feel that those 500 views did not like what they saw... insecurity i suppose.

I agree that subscribers are an important part of a channel because it shows that people want to be notified when you upload and keep upto date with you.
But with that being said PewDiePie (obvious example I know) has over 26 million subscribers yet he only averages something like 3.5 - 4 million views a video. That is a massive amount of people who have subscribed that don't even watch his content! I know that not every single subscriber is interested in every single video but you'd think that if you were really interested in the persons content they would have a larger percentage than that?

OhKtDid (^comment above^) does make a good point that the subs means repeat views but I personally would prefer to be getting a constant stream of views rather than millions of subs and the same amount of views I originally had. If that makes sense :/
 
Subscribers are more important than views but views are important as well because the views can tell a person if your subscribers are real or fake by looking at the views to subscribers ratio you can see if the subscribers are real

I really think neither matters, if your fanbase isn't genuine.

As an example, let's say Bob has 50 million subscribers, and gets about 1 million views a day on his gaming videos.

Wade has 5 million subscribers, but he receives, on average, 3 million views a day for his gaming videos. Which one of these YouTubers is better? Some would argue that Bob is because he has more subscribers. However, Wade's fanbase is more dedicated in watching his videos, despite his lower subscriber count.

So, really, it doesn't matter. I like to see comments far more than seeing views/subscribers go up. While I do appreciate every view/subscriber, it's nice to hear what people think of the video, rather than just leaving a like.

Exactly I would much rather have loyal subscribers that comment than people who watch one video and never give me any feedback.:)[DOUBLEPOST=1398445586,1398444981][/DOUBLEPOST]

your youtube money is directly proportional to how many views you get....

I don't make youtube money so to me its kind of irrelevant. Plus it shouldn't matter how much money you make on YouTube it should just be for fun.:happy:
