It has emerged as a giant in the social media space, where people spend hours looking for relatable content and solution to their problems. To gain popularity, people tend to buy YouTube views, subscribers, and likes, but this does not seem to help in front of the channel's organic growth. Fake subscribers do not have high retention rates, and the channel continues to have a poor performance in search results. The paid YouTube subscribers do not watch the videos. The growth of your channel will not reflect till the time the views do not shoot up. So your channel will always rank low in the search results. The disadvantages of fake subscribers can lead to a lack of trust that people will have for your channel.

Cons of buying fake YouTube subscribers:

These subscribers may turn out to be a scam-

While buying YouTube subscribers, you can never find out whether it is a genuine buy or fake bot account. Fake subscribers do not deliver what they promise, and they have no reliability and prove to be a scam. They will never view, like, or share your videos. The views will not increase even after having many subscribers to the channel.

Untargeted purchase-

Generally, all the platforms that sell YouTube subscribers do not provide targeted subscribers, useful for the channel. You tend to buy subscribers from random locations which are irrelevant to your growth targets.

Bot or fake subscribers-

Certain service providers provide cheap subscribers for the channel, but all these are very low in quality. They are generally not even real people and can ban your account or remove your videos posted. So it would help if you made sure that the subscribers you purchase are real users.
