No. God will punish you for that.

Nah, it's fine. It just means you likely won't be able to keep up with all those channels, so having a subcription in all of them defeats the purpose, except if you did it just to raise numbers - as in helping smaller channels to grow.

Don't worry about it, youtube will clean your list and unsubscribe from channels for you by itself.

yea it's true that I can't keep up with all these channels. When I see several good videos from a channel (like 3 or 4 videos) I subscribe (and it helps smaller channels). I do that also because when I'm going on Youtube I think that Youtube will understand what contents I like, and the recommendations will be more good (i'm not very sure about that but it seems to be logic).

@KhaledH well, if you got to 1000 subscriptions following that method, it seems Youtube is doing pretty well in recommending content for you. But you don't really have to subscribe for that, just giving views and likes is enough for YT to recommend more of the same to you.
I'm not sure if you get more diverse recommendations than I do, however. I keep my subscriptions at around 200 and sometimes it just feels like YT keeps hammering me with the same stuff, so I often clear my history to start again.

@Kosmonaut it does that?

Not because of the size of the list and not all the time, but it does unsubscribe you from channels you haven't engaged with for a long time, which I assume will happen to someone subbed to so many channels.

Interesting, maybe that's why I feel like I'm missing something in my subscriptions but, at the same time, I can't really tell what.

I don't agree with you, I think that in my list I have at less 400 channels worth to watch. There are a lot of english channels really interesting, and I also watch french channels (because I'm french) but it's true that it depends on your interests and hobbies. I watch a lot of contents on youtube : music, video games, mangas and animes, chess, sports, lifestyle, memes, etc.

No I don't subscribe to every channel I stumble on lmao xD. If I'd have done this, I'd have 5000+ on my list maybe lol. I have my youtube account since 2015, I watch a lot of youtube videos, and I'm interested in several topics (like I said above, such as music, chess...etc).

Yeah, I've had the same feeling too and I don't have even a tenth of OP's subscriptions. I don't think youtube has come forward to say how it works exactly, but do they ever?

Of course it's ok, since it's your account. You can do what you want with it, and it's not hurting anyone. Still, it's kind of pointless. You can't actually keep up with 1000 channels, and I'm sure you haven't looked at most of those channels for months or even years.

I can't imagine being subscribed to even a few hundred channels, let alone almost 1,000. My YouTube account is from 2006, and I'm on there pretty much every day, but I'm subscribed to less than 60 channels, most of which I watch on a very regular basis. I go through my subscriptions and remove inactive channels, or channels I'm not longer interested in, at least every couple of years.

I mean, there's nothing wrong with that. However, I find it pointless to subscribe to a channel I won't be checking out on a regular basis. The algorithm does a pretty good job suggesting random videos, so it's not like I'm missing out on a whole lot. I believe I'm subscribed to like 40 channels out of which I religiously follow 20. Even if you spend all your time on youtube, you can probably pay attention to 35 channels at most on a regular basis. I honestly don't get why you'd feel the need to hit subscribe every time you watch a good video.

I agree with you:) I was used to subscribe when I see several good videos from a channel, but it's true that it is too much now

No, why would you subscribe to a single channel to start with? Youtubers need to disappear from the face of Earth, and it would be very easy to get rid of this cancer if every one unsubscribed from their channels... Just check once in a while the interesting channels (if any). I never subscribed to any of them, nor plan to do so in the future.

No I feel when I am subscribed, its like you are paying someone . There are many youtubers who do giveaways and ask people to subscribe to their channel because they generate revenue from subscribers such as yourself.

I dont know, are you clicking on each video and subcribing ?

That's a lot.
I'm subscribed to 122, and your number is not even 10 times bigger than mine, so I won't say that you have too much. But that is still a lot. Probably okay, though, as long as you're only watching the good ones.
Actually, the number of subscribed channels doesn't mean anything. You're just pressing a button to subscribe, and if it reaches that number then subscription is obviously not the method you're actually using to organize yourself with the channels that you want to watch. If that number actually represented the number of channels that you're checking everyday for updates, then yes, that would be a problem.
