YouTube Disables Hidden Subscriber Count to fight spam comments
As Part of a more significant effort to fight creator impersonation across the platform, YouTube has stopped allowing channels to hide the number of subscribers they have.
Hiding subscriber count is one of the way that spammers tries to impersonate their real creators in other channels when leaving comments.
A Low subscriber count is a dead giveaway that someone posing as another creator isn't who they say they are.
Comment spam and identity related abuse are top of mind for many people on YouTube.
In response, several updates rolling out to help protect viewers and creators from comment spam while making it harder to impersonate creators.
Historically, channels on YouTube have been able to hide the number of subscribers they had, some creators find the feature valuable, such as those who are starting and they don't want to be judged by their subscriber count. It's often used to impersonate channels.
YouTube says that the bad actors often lure some more people to their channel page by impersonating other channel's creators in comments.
YouTube has understandable reasons for its recent decision to disable the option to hide the subscriber counts, but it's a questionable idea, the platform faces many issues that hurt the user and creator experience.
It's admirable that YouTube often tries to address the most pressing problems, but this is one of those times when the solution could potentially do more damage.
Those accounts post worthless comments on each video trying to trick other viewers into some kind of phishing scam.
YouTube also added a Stricter Comment Moderation, it allowed channels to hold comments automatically before they go live for all to see. If you make comment moderation, more strict will increase detection settings for potentially inappropriate comments and spam.
