Whether you use an android or pc, you can do it in two ways. If you want to keep your subscriber count secret from others, you can change the settings on your account so that you are unaware that people have subscribed to your channel. You will no longer see their name on your channel&#8217;s page. The following methods will help you hide your subscribers without being detected by YouTube.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_has_removed_the_option_to_hide_channel_subscriber_counts\"><\/span>YouTube has removed the option to hide channel subscriber counts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It used to be possible for YouTube channels to hide their subscriber counts, but that&#8217;s no longer an option. YouTube believes that this feature is used by impersonators to lure viewers to fake channels. You can check out your subscribers by visiting the comments section of your video, so you can verify that they are real. Besides, this new change could make YouTube&#8217;s community safer. However, it may also upset some people.<\/p>\n<p>The removal of the option to hide channel subscriber counts is one of the many changes YouTube is making to fight the rising problem of spam. YouTube has also implemented tighter rules for automatic moderation tools, and removed the option to hide channel subscriber counts. The changes will make it harder for spammers to impersonate creators. While these changes will only make it harder for fakes, they will ultimately benefit YouTube users.<\/p>\n<p>Another change that YouTube is introducing is a new feature for channel managers. The new feature will make it possible to filter junk comments and ensure that only real viewers see the content. It will also make it easier for channel managers to prevent the publication of spam comments. The new feature will be available on the YouTube channel page, so channel managers can view spam comments without the threat of being banned. If you&#8217;d prefer to hide the channel subscriber count, you can do so in the Settings section.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_has_increased_strictness_settings_within_its_auto-moderation_tools\"><\/span>YouTube has increased strictness settings within its auto-moderation tools<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube has announced new changes aimed at curbing spam and abusive comments. The new features include a remove option for hiding channel subscriber counts and tighter settings for auto-moderation. YouTube has also taken away the option for channels to hide their subscriber counts, which some users may prefer. YouTube has discovered that this is often a tactic used by channels posing as stars on the platform.<\/p>\n<p>The new features come after the launch of subscriber verification for YouTube. By the end of July, subscribers will be able to verify their account. Enhanced comment moderation tools will allow channel managers to filter comments more thoroughly. The settings for the auto-moderation tools will include a &#8220;higher strictness&#8221; setting and a checkbox for increased stringency. Furthermore, YouTube has limited the number of special characters that can be used in channel names.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to these updates, YouTube is also removing the option to hide subscriber counts. This will make it easier for channel managers to filter out junk comments. Channels with low subscriber counts might not attract many subscribers, causing them to delete their channels. If this is the case, they may not have a good enough audience to justify their low subscriber count. This feature is aimed at combating spam and abuse.<\/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>Hide your subscriber count on YouTube? Is it safe to do so? The good news is that YouTube doesn&#8217;t penalize you for hiding your subscribers. In fact, hiding your subscribers will actually help your channel in the early days, when you&#8217;ll probably have a small number of subscribers. Eventually, you can delete this option and your channel will grow. But if you&#8217;re insecure about your starting point, you shouldn&#8217;t hide your subscribers.<\/p>\n<p>Besides being annoying, YouTube&#8217;s community guidelines aren&#8217;t that strict. If you&#8217;ve broken them, YouTube will report you. But if you&#8217;ve done nothing wrong, YouTube won&#8217;t punish you &#8211; they have no way to find out. This applies to videos, comments, live streams, and any other YouTube product. So, if you&#8217;re worried that hiding your subscribers will hurt your YouTube channel, don&#8217;t worry.<\/p>\n<p>The algorithm behind YouTube recommends videos based on how long they&#8217;ve been watched. Moreover, it&#8217;s based on your recent watch history and viewing habits. It tries to predict what videos viewers are likely to enjoy most. As a result, you&#8217;re more likely to get recommendations if your videos are high-quality. This is because you&#8217;ll be more likely to get more views and viewers if they continue to watch your videos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Hide Your YouTube Subscriber Count Are you wondering how to hide your YouTube subscriber count?
