I’ve noticed lately that I’ve been subscribing mostly to finance-related channels.
Now that I’m starting to make some decent money, I feel like it’s time to get smarter about investing.


Curious to know what you look for before hitting “Subscribe” —
Is it the content, personality, editing, thumbnails… or something else entirely?


Let’s compare notes — maybe we’ll all find some new channels worth checking out.

Honestly, I never subscribe to any of my favorite YouTubers... The algorithm just pops up their videos whenever there is a new upload.

I guess I like that element of surprise, seeing their video when I don't even expect it, then subscribing and always getting notified and stuff like that

I usually only subscribe to channels when I really want to get the latest updates/content and the ones who aren’t uploading to a crazy degree (every day).

Mostly, it is informative content

If the content is actually useful. If it's vapid and egotistical, I have no use or time for that. Detailed tutorials are pretty much a guaranteed smash for me
