YouTube has made comment moderation much stricter and has taken away the option to hide your subscriber count. Fortunately, this is an easy fix that still keeps your subscribers private. You can hide your subscribers as often as you want, and they won&#8217;t penalize you for it!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_has_removed_the_option_to_hide_subscriber_count\"><\/span>YouTube has removed the option to hide subscriber count<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In an effort to combat creator impersonation, YouTube is removing the option for channels to hide their subscriber counts. While some creators may find this functionality valuable, others will argue that it leads to a larger number of fake channels. YouTube is also preventing creators from using special characters in the channel name to resemble large channels. While it is a necessary measure, many people will be left upset by the move.<\/p>\n<p>You can still see your YouTube subscriber count in the studio dashboard, however. Although it may feel like you are in the dark compared to your peers, you can use this as motivation to grow your channel. Creating a trusting relationship with your subscribers is essential for success. However, if you&#8217;re hiding your subscriber count to boost your videos&#8217; visibility, you may still feel that it&#8217;s too small.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_has_increased_strictness_of_comment_moderation\"><\/span>YouTube has increased strictness of comment moderation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve recently posted a video, you&#8217;ve probably noticed that the comments section has suddenly become overrun with spam. Although this phenomenon isn&#8217;t new, YouTube creators have long lamented the problem, and YouTube has now responded to this concern by tightening comment moderation rules. Many creators have addressed the problem on their channels by calling for more stringent comment moderation. While it&#8217;s still too early to know if this measure will make a difference, many have expressed a willingness to give it a try.<\/p>\n<p>One of the first changes in comment moderation has to do with channel names. Channel names now can&#8217;t contain special characters, making it more difficult for impersonators to hide their identities. YouTube has also introduced a new tab, &#8220;Held for review,&#8221; for inappropriate comments. This tab will need to be manually approved by a channel. Channels will have 60 days to review these comments. The new feature is meant to limit spam and abusive comments.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_turn_subscriber_count_visibility_on_and_off_as_many_times_as_you_like\"><\/span>You can turn subscriber count visibility on and off as many times as you like<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Depending on your preferences, YouTube allows you to turn subscriber counts on and off. Most YouTubers choose to hide their subscriber counts when they are low. But if you&#8217;re looking to join the YouTube Partners Program, you must have at least 1,000 subscribers. That&#8217;s okay &#8211; you can do both. To do this, just visit YouTube&#8217;s settings page and choose Channel &gt; Advanced. Here, you can find the box that says &#8220;Show Subscriber Count.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There are several reasons to hide your subscriber count, including how it may discourage viewers. Some video creators are hesitant to reveal their number, based on a fear that it will scare off potential viewers. Hiding your subscriber count can be beneficial in these cases, as it will prevent viewers from leaving your channel and turning off other subscriptions. Besides, hiding your subscriber count can make your video content appear more professional. It can also attract new viewers who would otherwise not be interested in your videos.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_doesnt_punish_you_for_hiding_subscribers\"><\/span>YouTube doesn&#8217;t punish you for hiding subscribers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re new to YouTube, you may be wondering whether you should hide your subscriber count. It&#8217;s natural to be nervous about starting a new channel, as people may not want to subscribe to a small channel. However, hiding your subscribers is actually beneficial in the early days. Once your channel grows and has more viewers, you can remove this option. But how can you do it? Read on to learn how to make the most of YouTube&#8217;s subscription system.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube has recently rolled out new updates to help fight against creator impersonation. This includes disabling the option for YouTube channels to hide their subscribers. Though some people may find this option useful, the site has noticed that a low subscriber count is one of the most common dead giveaways of impersonation. This new system will also make it harder for bad actors to impersonate creators, as well as protect users from comment spam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Hide Subscribers on YouTube Having a big subscriber list is not a bad thing, but it can be quite annoying if you want to see only the people who subscribe to your channel.
