  1. Has anyone tried YouTube Promote(paid campaigns in Youtube) for subscribers or views?
  2. Does it bring genuine subscribers who watch future videos, or mostly inactive subscribers?
  3. Also, does promoting a video help increase organic views later, or can paid views negatively affect organic reach?
Would love to hear from anyone who has tested it.

I would strongly suggest that you build your subscriber base in a completely organic way. Paid reach is much like a painkiller—it might provide some temporary peace of mind, but it won't offer a real, long-term solution. Focus on the quality and quantity of your content; I am confident that you will reach your target.

in my opinion promote is more of a tool for testing the viewers interest rather than a shortcut to building a channel.what will happen if users watch one video due to ad pllacements but have no interest in another video?
 
tbh, paid views don't always turn into regular viewers. i'd look at watch time and returning viewers, not just the number of subscribers you gain. promoting can get your videos in front of more people, but the content still needs to keep them interested imo.
 
Some creators use it to gain engaged subscribers who come back and boost organic reach, while others only end up with inactive follows. It won’t hurt your organic traffic on its own, targeting and video quality make all the difference.
 
I don't think it hurts organic reach, but paid views alone won't guarantee growth. Focus on attracting an audience that genuinely enjoys your content.
 
If you think your content is underrated and you need more audience, then you can use Ads
 
I think paying to promote your videos is necessary gaining an audience provides extra motivation. However, you also need to invest in your content to retain the people who followed you as a result of those promotions. that’s the real challenge.
 
YouTube Promote can bring real viewers, but paid views don't guarantee future organic growth. I'd test it with a small budget and focus on whether those viewers actually watch and engage with your content.
 
If you wanna test it, start with a small budget and promote a video that's already performing well organically. Check how many people actually watch your next uploads, not just how many subscribers you gained. That'll tell you if the campaign was worth it.

Tbh, I don’t think I would put any money into promoting my video unless they have already attracted some decent engagement. paid views are going to get you more viewers, but it doesn’t guarantee that these people are going to stick around. start off with a small amount and see how it goes from there.
 
We tried it a bit and it can get views and subs, but most people dont really stick around or watch future videos, so organic growth still depends more on the content itself.
