I’ve been working on a small YouTube channel for a while and honestly the hardest part is getting past that “empty channel” stage. Even when a video is decent, it feels like people see the low subscriber count and don’t take the channel seriously.

I’m not expecting bought subscribers to magically fix bad content or make videos go viral. I’m more wondering if a small boost helps with social proof, or if it just makes the channel look worse because the views and comments don’t match.

Has anyone here tried buying YouTube subscribers before? Did it help at all, or did it hurt the channel long term?
