Subscribers

№ 02 / 05

Ausführliche Definition

Subscribers are a stronger signal than followers because opting in usually requires a deliberate action — hitting the bell icon, confirming an email, accepting a notification. On YouTube, subscribers unlock monetization tiers and algorithmic features. Paid subscribers are also more retention-prone than paid followers because the underlying accounts are usually aged and active.
