Hello everyone. I've been wondering whether buying YouTube subscribers is a good strategy to grow a channel. On one hand, it seems like an easy way to boost numbers and appear more popular. On the other, I’ve heard it can hurt a channel’s credibility, and YouTube may even penalize accounts caught using fake subscribers. Are the short-term gains worth the potential long-term consequences? Has anyone here tried purchasing subscribers? What was the impact on your engagement and overall growth? I’m curious to hear your thoughts and experiences before making any decisions myself.
