What is sub4sub mean?

sub4sub means subscribe for subscribing. I will subscribe to your YouTube channel and in return, you will subscribe to my YouTube channel. So you will get a subscriber and I will get a subscriber. it seems a win-win business.

Mainly new YouTubers do sub4sub to get their first 1,000 subscribers to apply for monetization. Besides sub4sub people also do watch4watch, which similarly I will watch your video in return you will watch mine. This way both YouTubers get subscribers and watch time.

Differents social media are the main source of doing sub4sub or watch4watch. People use lots of Instagram, Facebook Groups, WhatsApp groups, Telegram Groups to meet other new YouTubers and they do sub4sub or watch4watch in those groups.

Why shouldn’t do sub4sub to get free YouTube subscribers?

Using sub4sub you can get both subscribers and watch time in your YouTube channel but the problem is you will lose those subscribers in a short time of period. It grows for some time, after the next day or some later time, YouTube removes those subscribers from the subscribers count.

As of the updated YouTube policy, YouTube only shows the active subscribers for your channel in the subscriber’s count. This means, if some subscribers, only subscribe to your channel and don’t watch or like more videos from your channel, they become inactive and useless subscribers for your channel. So youtube reduce the count to show the effective subscribers count. Those who could possibly watch or like videos once you upload new videos into Your YouTube channel.

In the case of sub4sub, people only subscribe to get subscribers, they will not watch or like videos when you will upload new videos laters. They are not active subscribers to your channel. This is the reason why sub4sub doesn’t work to grow your YouTube channel for free.

Is sub4sub violates the YouTube policy?

in a sort answer, YES. sub4sub violates the youtube policy. sub4sub is strictly prohibited by YouTube and YouTube mentions this in their policy guideline. Please check this page from YouTube to see the policy about sub4sub.

Why you lose subscribers from our YouTube channel?

As you know the updated YouTube policy about subscriber count, YouTube only shows the active subscribers in the count. You could have 5,000 subscribers but YouTube showing 3,000 means, only 3,000 from those 5,000 subscribers are active. So when you upload new videos around 3,000 subscribers will watch or like that newly uploaded video. Other 2,000 maybe still subscribed to your channel but they are not active anymore to your channel. They will not get notified or will not engage with your channel again.

So when you see subscribers decrease in your channel, it’s not actually the subscriber unsubscribes, they are considered as inactive subscribers to YouTube, so YouTube reduces the subscribers count from your dashboard and show the actually effective subscribers for your channel.

Normally people don’t unsubscribe, why people will do that anyway? subscribing does not cost anything instead it takes extra time when they unsubscribe.

There have some reasons you could really lose subscribers but that is very little. Like if your subscriber’s account got suspended, that account was removed from YouTube as well as from your subscriber’s list. Some shitty people could unsubscribe but those could be like 10 from 1,000. Which you can ignore totally.

How we can make subscribers permanent?

Basically, there has no way you can make your subscribers permanent by YourSelf except by uploading content regularly in your channel. When you upload content in your channel regularly and your subscriber engages again with your channel they stay permanent. but if you get subscribers doing sub4sub in various Facebook or other groups, those subscribers will surely not watch or like (engage) with your channel again. Because they only do subscribe to get subscribe, you will also not going to watch all of those channel’s videos every day, right?

But if you get subscribers from ExchangeApp, you can show your videos to your subscribers whenever you want, so that those subscribers will engage again with your channel and stay permanent. You can control this using audience setting on the campaign creation page.

As you understand, you can make subscribers permanent in ExchangeApp using audience settings by controlling to show new content to the subscribers, You can also send requests to verify subscriber’s status so that you can see if someone unsubscribes or not. In case someone unsubscribes, the app will force them instantly. So they will subscribe again.
