After all, YouTube is getting more strict with its auto-moderation tools and reducing the character set that creators can use when changing their channel name. In this article, you&#8217;ll learn how to hide subscribers without sacrificing your viewers&#8217; experience. There are many reasons why you might want to hide your subscribers, so read on to learn the best way to do so.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_is_removing_the_option_to_hide_subscriber_counts\"><\/span>YouTube is removing the option to hide subscriber counts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube is getting rid of the option to hide subscriber counts, and not just because of privacy concerns. The reason behind the decision is to combat spam and impersonation on the platform. Previously, YouTube channels could hide their subscriber counts. These low subscriber counts are dead giveaways that the channel is fake, and YouTube believes that this move will make the community safer. Ultimately, this will help the creators.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to keep your subscriber count private from your audience, you can do so by using the YouTube Studio. To do this, open the YouTube Studio application and select the channel you want to hide. Then tap the settings button in the bottom left corner. Click on the advanced settings tab to see the hidden subscribers. This way, your subscribers are not displayed in the public. However, if you have low views-to-subscriber ratio, you should hide your link subscribers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_is_increasing_strictness_on_its_auto-moderation_tools\"><\/span>It is increasing strictness on its auto-moderation tools<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The YouTube team has announced a few changes to its auto-moderation tools to curb spam. In addition to removing the option to hide channel subscriber counts, the video-sharing site is also limiting the use of special characters in channel names. If you are a content creator, these updates may be useful. Here&#8217;s what you need to know. Continue reading to learn about the new changes.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, YouTube&#8217;s auto-moderation tools have failed to prevent malicious comments. The company is now testing a more robust moderation tool that will make it more difficult to post inappropriate content. As a result, many content creators have voiced frustration with the lack of quality control over their videos. This move comes after complaints from users that the platform has a difficult time weeding out spam comments.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_doesnt_punish_you_for_hiding_subscribers\"><\/span>It doesn&#8217;t punish you for hiding subscribers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Many creators wonder if it&#8217;s a good idea to hide your YouTube subscriber count. The truth is that most YouTube channels fail because the creators get bored with uploading videos on a regular basis and don&#8217;t take their channel seriously. While hiding your subscriber count may seem like a bad idea, it&#8217;s actually a good strategy in the early days. You can simply remove the feature as your channel grows.<\/p>\n<p>Using a f*g-themed T-shirt to hide subscribers may also be an option. Having a T-shirt with the tagline &#8220;socialism is for f*gs&#8221; is a nod to Crowder&#8217;s official store. In April, Marques Brownlee called out YouTube for the annoying spam. The video was posted to protest the spam that he received and tweeted that he&#8217;d &#8220;increase strictness&#8221; of the comment moderation tool. Now that he&#8217;s done that, it&#8217;s available for anyone else who gets tired of the spam on YouTube.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Hide Subscribers in YouTube If you&#8217;re on YouTube, you&#8217;ve probably wondered how to hide subscribers in YouTube.
