Ya same feeling. I do like engaging and watching different content. Mainly personality also. Thank for your insightPersonally, I only sub to channels I am interested in, or those I have a friendship with. These channels I will watch as much of their content as I have time to... which is pretty time consuming.
My thoughts are that motovlogging is a community, so if someone takes the time to look at my videos and engage in the chat in each video, then I will take a look at their content too, but I won't sub unless I either like their content or like their personality.
As admin on here, I have exposure to a lot of new channels. I tend to only sub to new members once they show they intend on being active here, as sadly so many only make one post.... in the "share your social channels" thread. I really should start that one again as it is full of folk not a part of this forum as they came and went like a damp fart, leaving a stink and a wet patch!
My thoughts on sub4sub are very anti it. I'd rather have active subs than those just wanting me to sub back, to me a sub who does not watch is a meaningless statistic, the same really goes for those who click on a video to give it a view count, but click off straight away without watching. I've actually told my friends to stop doing that as they thought it helped my channel, when in reality it harms. So IMO, only sub to someone you enjoy watching, and if someone subs to you just because they want one back in return, they probably have no real intention of watching your videos anyway, so no point doing the sub4sub.
When growing a channel, you have to network, but don't do it blindly, you will get a feel for folks intentions just by reading their generic comments on videos etc.
On my videos, there is a core selection of folk who are creators themselves that I know will watch and comment on most of my videos. They don't do so to get me to do the same, they do so because they either enjoy my content, or don't think I am an arse.... and I can mostly say, that although I am subscribed to a lot of channels, I generally try to do actively engage on their channels and each video they post.
It is why I find channels that don't have in helmet audio hard to watch, I can ride my own bike if I don't want to hear someone else's thoughts on the ride, so those that say not much are less enticing to watch for me!Ya same feeling.

So
I love supporting other motovloggers but if one subs you do you sub back right away or wait to see if they are actually there to engage etc?
I usually sub right away to support but notice many don’t really try to engage.
Wow this was enlightening. I didnt realize how having useless subs and clicks can actually hurt your watch time that bad. Good on ya mate.Personally, I only sub to channels I am interested in, or those I have a friendship with. These channels I will watch as much of their content as I have time to... which is pretty time consuming.

100%. Watch time is the golden stat to go after. Even monetization is about subscribers and watch time (not views)Clicking on and then straight off a video basically tells YouTube that people don't want to watch the video, so if your friends/family want to help you grow, but don't want to actually watch a video you post, ask them to click onto it on their PC at home just before they pop out, the video can play while they are not at their PC. so you get a good view retention and they can get on with their lives having helped you out.
Well like they said subs that dont watch arent useful anyway. Yeah you need 1000 as the magic sub number, but you also need those 4k hours of watch time. You can have 100k subs all bot accounts and 100 watch hours and not get monetized. You want subs that are active, enjoy your content, and watch it!Then I always notice a loss of a sub. 2 steps forward 1 back. I’m guessing it’s also YouTube getting rid of bs accounts
