Why people hide Subscribers
Most creators on YouTube hide subscribers so as they may get more subscribers. This trick works. For example when I wast starting my YouTube channel no one was subscribing because I had 0 subscribers. Getting 100 subscribers is the hardest thing that I experienced on my YouTube channel.
When I applied this trick many people subscribed regardless of my current subscribers.
How to Hide Subscribers
Hiding Subscribers will now become a thing of the past. I will explain how I used to hide Subscibers on YouTube.
- Go to Creator Studio and Click Settings
- In the Settings click Channel, then Advanced Settings
- In the Advanced Settings Tab, on the Subscribers Count checkbox, Click to Display the subscribers count, leave it unchecked to hide subscribers count. It’s that simple.
