Beginning on July 29, YouTube channels will no longer be able to hide their subscriber counts.

Also: The platform is also putting new special character restrictions on channel names, another measure designed to make it harder for impersonators to hide in plain sight. Some special characters won’t be allowed any more, but it sounds like you might still be able to toss a weird character in if it makes the cut. Basically, YouTube doesn’t want people spelling things out in all special characters à la “¥ouⓉube” — a common spam tactic.
I don't think that's gonna stop people from finding new ways to exploit it
Also no restrictions mentioned about Shorts spam lol.
