How to check your YouTube subscriber count in real-time
YouTube provides a feature to track subscriber count in real-time. It is available via YouTube Studio app for Android. It gives detailed metrics and insights into how a channel has grown over time and even notifies creators when they reach important milestones. The platform also sends an email and shows a congratulatory animation in YouTube Studio on reaching these milestones.
Accessing real-time subscriber count on YouTube Studio
To access the real-time subscriber count, creators would have to open the YouTube Studio app and tap on 'Analytics' from the bottom menu. Next, they would have to select the Overview tab and look for the Realtime card. Tapping on this card would allow them to view more detailed metrics. This way, creators can keep track of their channel's growth and performance efficiently.
YouTube's approach to displaying subscriber count
YouTube employs a unique way to display a channel's subscriber count. For example, if a channel has between 1,000 to 9,999 subscribers, the count is updated for every 10 new subscribers. Likewise, for channels with over one million but less than 10 million followers, updates are made after every 10,000 new subscriptions.
YouTube's policy on closed accounts and spam subscribers
YouTube has a strict policy against closed accounts and spam subscribers. The platform regularly verifies the legitimacy of accounts and actions on a channel, making necessary corrections to site metrics in YouTube Analytics for consistency. This process ensures that site metrics are free from spam, abuse, and closed accounts. It's crucial for creators to understand that these types of subscribers won't count toward their total number or appear in their subscriber list.
