Buying subscribers is tricky; you might end up with 10,000 Thai accounts suddenly following you. This won’t help with monetization, as these aren’t real viewers who will actually watch your videos or engage with your content. A better approach is to boost your videos by building your own organic content system—essentially a network of about 500 accounts—to drive traffic.
Here’s how it works: when you post a video, the initial viewers are crucial. If no one interacts with or watches it, the algorithm will penalize you and bury your content. You can use your own accounts to generate initial views and interactions, which will quickly attract a wider audience. Just keep in mind that you need to rotate the accounts and make them look as authentic as possible—use profile pictures, ensure they appear verified, and go through a "warm-up" phase for each one.

If you have gone this far and get your watched hours completed. I'd suggest not to buy subscribers and ask your audience to subscribe make suspense for next videos. YouTube detects these things easily and can terminate the channel or rejects the monetization application.

Buying subscribers is a direct violation of YouTube’s policies and is a suicidal decision you will not receive monetization (income opportunities) as a result. YouTube’s algorithm is very good at detecting artificial or scripted subscribers. As a result, your application will be rejected during monetization review.

I wouldn't buy subs if I were you. You could hit the target number, but what's the point if those accounts never watch your videos? It's better to keep making videos people enjoy. The subscribers will come with time, even if it takes a bit longer.

Yeah I agree 100% with you because if you buy subscribers you have a possibility to get your YouTube channel banned and loose all the progress you've made.

Buying subscribers is not advisable, as it can negatively impact your account. YouTube’s systems will detect such unusual activity, which could lead to your account being flagged or encountering technical issues. Instead, focus on creating content; this will naturally attract subscribers and help your subscriber count grow over time.
it is a good choice to purchase subscribers since it will help you to increase the number of views on ur channel but i think that it is better to refrain from doing this. it is doubtfful that the majority of purchased subscribers will watch ur videos.

I'd say if you have a monetized channel in backup you can do that experiment. I tried buying the subs but youtube removed them and rejected my application.

subs will certainly boost ur stats, but not necessarily ur actual views.i would suggest creating shorts based on ur top performing videos nd giving users a reason to subscribe. It’s safer to grow slowlly than risk monetization for false stats.

since ur viewing figures prove that people are interested in ur videos, u should check what causes them to go without subscribing. perhaps u could try adding a little subsscription call just at the right time instead of buying the subscriptions.
Identify those videos that get repeat views and adds an organic subscription prompt there random subscriptions will nt works if no one watches ur next video upload.

The quickest way around the whole problem is to buy a YT account that is already ready for monetization (has both the watch hours and the subs). The deeper structural issue is that it is an unbalanced business setup, where the content provider is dependent on Google/YT for marketing, distribution, reach, and monetization. Can't a video provider develop other ways to make bank than to rely on one company for everything?

Buying subs might get the numbers up, but it can mess up monetization if they’re fake or dont engage, better to grow them naturally and stay safe.
