Question: How can subscribers boost engagement, and thus discovery, for a video?
- Subscribers boost view count because their views are worth two views.
- Subscribers who have turned off notifications will generate the video’s first wave of traffic.
- Subscribers who have turned on notifications will generate the video’s first wave of traffic.
- Subscribers can engage with a video in comments, while unsubscribed viewers cannot.
Explanation
Notifications help alert opted-in subscribers when new artist content is published. Early activity from subscribers can create initial views, likes, comments, and sharing signals. That first engagement can support broader discovery because YouTube uses viewer response to understand how content is performing. This is especially useful around release moments, premieres, and time-sensitive artist updates.
Why the other options are incorrect
Views worth two views is incorrect because YouTube does not count subscriber views as double views.
Notifications off is incorrect because subscribers without notifications are less likely to receive an immediate alert.
Comments for subscribers only is incorrect because unsubscribed viewers can also comment when comments are enabled.
