Question of the Day 💡Whats holding you back from going all in on youtube? Also, this year we are Hosting The #1 Video Marketing Conference for Entrepreneurs "Grow With Video Live" ➡ GrowWithVideoLive.com
Too many things are going on right now, so i barely have time for my edits and i will forget to post (i have a set time, 3:45 every day) but i have not uploaded in a few days and am trying to get back on track.
Yes, we should hide our subs. Why? YT will NOT let us unsub a channel that turns out to be a porno site, animal abuse site or some other unethical channel. Solution? HIDE YOUR SUBS.
For those wondering what the point of this is for small UA-camrs, I can confidently say it has a purpose. Like other here have said, I enjoy the growth and allowing my audience to witness that with me. However, in experimenting with different videos and upload settings on my channel to enhance channel growth, I decided to disable the subscriber count for 2 months to see what would happen. And after 4 years of consistent posting, My channel growth (with subscribers) went up a good 50% within a few weeks. It turns out that most people expect something to be wrong with a channel when it has such a low sub count (and that is often the case to be fair), and they avoid subscribing because of it. Hiding your subscriber count is a classic "fake it til' you make it" option that seems to work fairly well in my experience. With all that being said, I'm pretty sure UA-cam just issued an update that removes that option, and partially stunted my channel growth. If anyone else is experiencing this, or knows if it's permanent, please let me know.
Wait im so not the only one? 🥲 Im loosing alot of subscribers and ngl im kinda ashamed that my subscription is going low. Hope UA-cam brings it back. 🥺😔
This is SO true!!! It took me 2 months of crawling to get my first 100 subs. And as soon as I hit it, within a week, I'm closing in at 150 subs. So people for sure want to support smaller creators! Thanks for the tip, Nolan and team! The Think Media tips have helped my channel sooooooooooooooooooooooo much!
*I don't personally hide them nor did I ever. I think it shows growth and makes your community happy that they've been supporting a growing channel who's providing constant content to them to help them*
The option to hide subscribers have been disabled as of July 2022. Kinda sad since it's difficult for people to watch my videos when I have a low subscriber count.
you said exactly what i was gonna say. be proud no matter how small the numbers are, progress is progress, i am also not a fan o hiding subs and all that kind of thing. i wish the public dislike count wasnt hidden either.
If you have lots of views, then it probably wouldn't matter. Sometime people watch videos based on number of views and number of subscribers one has. Probably that "authority" acceptance for your content. But meh, one thing works for one, and would never work for another. So as you said, each their own.
We will grow small UA-camrs, let's hang in there for a long haul! Don't mind the numbers, mind the genuineness of your content and remember why you started🙏🏽💖💖💖 Don't be discouraged 😘😘😘
As of July 2022, it's not possible to hide your subscriber count on UA-cam. If you don't want people to see which channels you subscribe to, you can make your subscriptions private. You can hide individual subscribers from your channel if you don't want people to see their comments.
I was so discouraged and was trying hard to hide my subscriber count. I just found that youtube has removed this option But in the comment section of this video i found some motivating comments and i have decided not to hide my subscribers. 🥰
Whilst I mostly do show my subscriber count (which I actually hate looking at) I recently did experiment with hiding the number, but I didn't see any significant changes either way.
I'm a newbie on UA-cam and doesn't really know better.😁 I'm just learning to edit videos and enjoying my journey through editing. That's it, I'm just enjoying the lessons I've learned on pictures and videos editing. Need So much to learn though.. needs more improvement. And I'm just excited to learn more as I go along. 😜😜😁😁
Not necessarily. At times it helps when a rival content creator is trying to to steal ideas. My friends channel has 15000 subscribers and now hides it, hard to explain but it's working well for them...
My account is from 2006 and so many of the subs are likely of unused accounts. And got back into doing videos but now the sub count looks too high for the amount of views I get starting over on the same account. So I wonder if I should just hide because now the sub count looks "suspious" or weird being there.
Thank you Nolan ! That was actually very helpful. We just started our youtube channel and were scared that people wouldn't be interested because of our sub count. So thank you for the tips 😊
I have confidence that my UA-cam channel will grow ,my subbies should be part of the growth journey. Am comfortable with my humble beginnings. Am at 44 subbies now and I appreciate everyone supporting this journey. I know we will celebrate 100,000 subbies soon.
I couldn't find it either. It's another way for them to capitalize off of the bigger channels and make money from the smaller channels for advertising.
The people that like seeing growth are already subscribed for the journey. People that haven’t subbed will have unconscious reasons why they don’t sub. I hide it on my channels until I get popular enough not to. The masses subscribe to the popular with less bias. Think watching the popular movie, show, music, etc. AB test it for yourself fellow UA-camrs on the rise!
Out of frustration for my channel (and subscriber count) not growing much, I decided to try and hide my subscriber count - but after watching this video I realised that I’d rather just let my channel organically grow with quality content and consistency - if people do genuinely enjoy watching my videos, that’s what is more likely to get the to subscribe
As a channel with 7 subscribers, this idea sounded intriguing to me and I seriously considered it for a moment. I think, or I worry rather, that having so few views and subscribers would signal to potential viewers that it's not worth stoping by. That my videos aren't worth the time of day. But there's something about this, about trying to hide or to pretend that things aren't what they are that seems deepely insincere to me personally. It just doesn't feel right. So, after thinking about it for a few more seconds I decided that trying to own being a channel with 7 subscribers is far more worthwhile than being embarrassed about something ultimately out of my control. Good luck to everyone on their channels and don't give up on doing what you love!
i came here to decide whether i should hide my number or not, but then realized no one starts big. let's keep going and don't give up ❤️ every number is a step
I'm not hiding subs. I started creating videos again this year and approaching 500. Who cares if you have 5, 5000 or more subs. Shouldn't the focus be on creating better content not hiding numbers?
This was a very helpful video. I seen another video that recommended that small channels hide their subscriber count until they hit 1k subs. I really didn’t want to do it and this video confirmed that I don’t need to. 🔥🔥
Glad I’m almost at 600 subscribers 🙏🏾 .. when I hit my first 1k subscribers I swear I will feel so blessed, thanks for this video because I was thinking about hiding them but I’d rather let my fans see my process 🤞🏾📊
I never hid my subscribers, even before I hit 1k. I found that my subscribers liked seeing my growth and it was a form of community building. Everyone felt like they were a part of my journey and growth 💕
@@sokahell Having subscribers doesn't even really matter to me for rarely are any personal videos uploaded to my channel anyway so don't understand this either and in the same way YT has now removed this feature it's also interesting how they are now only allowing the thumb up count to be shown.
Can't believe they removed this option... I wanted to hide the subscriber count due to closing down my previous channel and removing everything from it. So unbelievable I can't hide the subscriber count...
Its always fun to see the subscriber counts. What people enjoy and are clicking on. Also impressive to see a new youtuber with 10 uploaded videos having thousands of subscribers. To think about what did they do, to have it happen for them so fast. :P
Ever since seeing the think podcast video about subs I don’t even worry about my 109 subscribers i have currently. You guys taught me about IPA’s. Income Producing Activities has a been a game changer. Subs will come eventually :)
I dislike the hiding of subscribers I like to see people grow. I’m a small channel and I think my numbers are amazing right now. I don’t want to hide that from my people.
I agree with everything you have said also because for the last thing I've had gotten comments on my main channel saying that I deserve more subscribers which I really do in my opinion.
I just started my channel and have only uploaded 5 videos but this video helped me decide that I wanna focus more on creating good content rather than worrying about my subscriber count so thank you, great video!!!!
To answer your question, nothing is holding me back anymore and I am going all in on UA-cam this year! And it's a lot thanks to this channel, so thank you :)
Great information to know.... I do not have that option under advanced settings to click or unclick the number of subs. Still I learned something new. THanks bud!!
I did as you instructed however I do not have the "subscriber" provision nor any "Checked or unchecked box". Can you explain whay I don't have this option? Is it somewhere else> Thank you

To the person who is reading this, don't give up on your channel. Keep going, Its going to be better. 💯
I second this! Keep going!
Thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thanx, you too !
Thx
Thank you so much...!! I really need a such type of motivation at this time
👉👈🥺
I believe that many people look at views and subscribers and avoid low numbers. It's just the nature of the you tube audience in my opinion.
Fair point
Please note the options to hide subscribers is no longer there.
thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Yeah I was about to say… mine is not there at all.
Omg... I was looking and looking and looking.... 😄😀🤣😅 Thank you so much
why though?
🙁 not good for new creators, they are already being judged due to numbers of subscribers.
Yes, exactly! I honestly like finding and subscribing to small underrated/ undiscovered channels and watching them grow 👍
😎😎
Me too❗️

Same!

When someone unsubs it ruins my day.
@@Poeticsunit It's definitely painful, yeah
The option to hide subscribers have been disabled as of July 2022.
Kinda sad since it's difficult for people to watch my videos when I have a low subscriber count.
I noticed that. Is there another way to hide subscribers?
@@MarisaShadrick Sadly, not as of right now.
UA-cam have disabled this option beginning end of July 2022
Be proud of yourself even if you have 5 subscribers, 10 or 10,000. I, personally, don't like the idea of hiding subscribers, but to each their own!
Completely agree right here!

2023?! This was 11 fucking months ago-

😜😜😁😁
There is no option
Why would a channel hide its subscribers? A channel that hides its subscribers to me has sth fishy going on. Be genuine , and grow with your fans .
Not necessarily. At times it helps when a rival content creator is trying to to steal ideas. My friends channel has 15000 subscribers and now hides it, hard to explain but it's working well for them...

my studio doesn't display a follower count
Did they remove this option? Trying to do it on my main channel and it’s not working. Like there’s no option for it
Yes ,.. Since July 29th it has been disabled for some reason,and I have been trying to find out another way of doing it,and not been able to

This video needs an update because I dont have the options you have.
It's literally not there. Did they remove this feature of the website for no reason too?
Can't hide now. October 14 2022.
Thanks for covering this . I’ve always wanted to know more about this.
If there is no subscribers county how to solve?
Great information! Seeing the number of subscribers is a good reminder of how much your own channel has grown.

Good settings to know for a new UA-camr like me but not going to use it😅. Thanks for sharing though, I have learnt a lot from Think Media

It´s valid to test both ways! This is UA-cam! 👍
This is the exact video I wanted, I love your content!

I can't find the option though
