Many people like to create threads in Facebook groups for networking and they ask to support eveyone’s channel by subscribing.

 It sounds innocent enough. But in truth, asking people to subscribe to your channel can often backfire and create more subscriber loss.

Subs 4 Sub is when people ask other people to subscribe to their channels.  Usually it can be an organized group or just people wanting to support other people and their channels.

The problem with Sub4sub or Sub 4 Sub, is that if the people are subscribing to a channel and they don’t watch any videos from that channel, the YouTube algorithm will see that it is a sub4sub and then the subscribe will revert back and the channel will lose those fake subscribers.

YouTube isn’t like social media, it’s all about watching videos!

If people subscribe without watching a video from the channel they have just subscribed to, it’s a seen as a fake subscriber.

YouTube wants people to watch videos, they don’t really care as much about subscribers.

So if you sub and don’t watch a video from that channel, it penalizes that channel and it makes that channel lose subs.

If you want to support a channel, subscribe and make sure you watch a video from that channel all the way through.

Only then will that channel keep the subscriber count because it’s about watching videos not gaining empty, fake subscribers.

Just keep on it!

Until next time,
