YouTube has a wide user base all around the world. Each day that goes by, the user base of this Google-owned video-streaming platform grows rapidly. There are many content creators who use YouTube as a medium to reach their viewers and gain popularity. A YouTube channel’s popularity is based on the number of subscribers it has. However, some people might not want to disclose their subscriber numbers for various reasons.
YouTube does include a feature that lets you hide your subscription count. If you choose to hide it, your subscriber count on YouTube won’t be visible to the general public. However, on YouTube Studio, you can still see your subscriber count.
