do others find them equal or miles apart

I have about 3500 likes on my fb page and they watch a lot of my videos but only 350 subs on YT

and I find most people i have talked to say they just watch random stuff on YT and don't really sub to anything is this just a New Zealand thing or are there other markets where people only watch whats trending ?
 
Eh, depends. I'm primarily a YouTuber, therefore I care more about the outcome of my YT channel. The facebook page I have really just gives people another way to get personal with me tbh.

The way I see it, you can grow a career from YouTube, and it's an expectation that being popular on YouTube means some sort of income, but the same expectation doesn't exist with facebook.. to my knowledge
 
I have just over 100 likes on Facebook because no one really cares about Facebook anymore, seriously :') Whereas my sub count is nearing 2K so I don't think either has much to do with the other
 
I don't push my Facebook page. I just use it as a place to post random thoughts and feelings, to be honest.

I also haven't posted on YouTube in forever though... guess I'm just social media lazy these days.
 
Facebook and YouTube are very different in terms of audiences. It's easy for a lot of people who do other things on Facebook to like your page, but to go to YouTube and subscribe (which requires an entirely different account and to actually go to YouTube). Also, Facebook has an older audience these days, while YouTube skews younger. Don't expect that the same numbers from both platforms.
 
Facebook doesn't push YouTube links well and just liking something doesn't mean it's on a feed unless notifications are active... We have close to 6000 likes but most posts only get seen by 300 - 1000 people unless very popular... YouTube subscribers at least get on their feed (just about to hit 3000) :-)
 
I never pay attention to facebook because facebook to me right now is literally the most viewed spam site in the world that we all still continue to use because well its Facebook.

I do my best to turn away from Facebook because I feel like it may cause more problems than issues and in my eyes sometimes feels like another platform for "haters" to attack you. Not saying I dont or wont use Facebook im just saying that right now, with the position my channel is at I dont feel like its worth my while right now.
 
thanks for all the replies I guess I need to work harder on you tube and putting my youtube views somewhere other than face book or on my web site as I really want people view on my you tube account or website not Face book
