Not that I sit and watch videos all day, I only subscribe to a handful...maybe less than 10. With a lot of these creators that have millions of followers, I wonder how many users out there have like hundreds of channels they follow.

Sub 100 but more than 10

None

I haven't decided if I want to use YouTube with an account name separate from all other existing account names I have or just use my Google account name since you can do that.

Rick Beato and Rhett Shull and the guys at Anderton's all claim that 50-60% of their views are from people that don't subscribe to the channel. Rick could have 6 million subscribers instead of 3.5 million if most of those people would subscribe.

Just Pitch Meeting.

Over 100. A majority of them are cooking and gardening channels. I need to go through and unsubscribe from a lot, since they never pop up as having new videos

right at 100, although not all of them produce regularly

0 - I just search for what I'm interested in.

Should I be subscribing to YouTube channels? I feel like I get too many notifications as it is.

The only notifications you should get are from Looch when a 17 year-old 3* mentions A&M in a social media post. [/The Zoo]

Lol. OP you're not using YouTube right.

You're suppose to start with one video and then let the algorithm take you down a rabbit hole through subsequent videos.

Probably 90% of what I watch on tv is YouTube videos. That's the reason I subscribe to so many

About 50 or so. If a channel consistently puts out content that interests me I want it preferred in my suggestion panel.

guilty.

I watch a few channels regularly, but I don't to subscribe to anyone, except for my wife's cousins channel about their kid with autism. It was a sympathy subscribe.

I don't subscribe to any, yet, as if it's magic, all the stuff I generally watch is right up on top when I go to youtube.com. The Youtube algorithm works just fine without subscribing.

subscribing doesn't do anything for the viewer really, only more money for the channel.

I subscribe to a couple hundred channels, though I'm sure a lot of them are inactive or I just don't visit them. Pretty low-cost way for me to support channels whose content I've liked, and since I don't turn on notifications, I'm not inundated.

-"Seniors on JV"
-three for church
-four for history stuff
-four for dork stuff

I'm going to find a way to subscribe DallasTeleAg to the Darrel Braun Guitar channel and turn on notifications so he doesn't miss anything!!

Last time I looked it was just over 1000, though some are not active. In then past I've found a video that peaked my interest on something I was looking for, and I would subscribe to the channel. Every now and then I'll go back through them and delete some subscriptions.

Mandatory Thursday night viewing!!!

there's a dude that has handbuilt two cabins in the canadian wilderness. He has a dog. Its better than anything Ive seen on tv or movies in years.

My self reliance.

And this is how I end up watching a random women's track and field event from Romania that has 30 miillion views at 2am.

You might like the Primitive Technology channel. No verbal commentary (though there is some in the closed captioning) - dude just building stuff in the wilderness using super ancient methods.

Dude is awesome and has never changed even while creating a whole sub genre by himself essentially. I never thought I would be enraptured by someone making charcoal in a mud cone for like an hour yet he got every minute from me and had me looking for more. I'm subbed to him

I have around 50 subs but I never actually pay attention to the notifications mostly just support subs for people I enjoy.

Another completely random, esoteric, and incredible one is Steve1989MRE. Dude just eats and rates old MREs (and I mean old, he has eaten stuff from world war 2 and even even WW1) from around the world and it is so damn satisfying. "NICE HISS".

Peter McKinnon and Scammer Payback are the two I probably watch the most.

Peter is a very engaging photographer and SP is doing his good deed by exposing scammers and helping people to avoid scams, even offering to pay victims back the money they got scammed out of.

love that guy.

Went out in the woods with nothing but a pair of shorts, years later he has built a civilization. Needed an axe so he made one. Needed a knife so he built a metal smelter out of nothing but clay and sticks.

Im not sure why this channel is so intriguing, but i have watched him eat 100 MRE since you mentioned it.

I watch/listen to YouTube more than anything else, but only subscribe to handful of channels to creators I want to support as I think more subs helps monetization.

I just scroll through on the Home Screen until the algorithm does it's job and I find something I want to watch though, I never check the channels I'm subscribed to specifically.
