YouTube will disable the option that allows channels to hide their number of subscribers from next July 29. The company works "continually" on new formats to improve the user experience, reduce spam and promote transparency, three aspects on which it has developed a series of measures that it will implement soon, as explained in a publication.

First of all, it has announced that, to prevent identity theft and some creators from making others believe that their accounts have a large number of followers, YouTube channels will no longer be able to hide their number of subscribers from July 29. The company has recognized that some users "prefer to hide their number of subscribers as they try to grow" and has ensured that it has made this decision to prevent improper use of the platform and preserve the safety of its community.

This decision is due to the fact that it has detected that some users hide the subscribers they have on their channel, pretend to be other creators with more followers and spam comments to attract the public to their page. On the other hand, it has announced that it is reducing the character set available when choosing a name for the channel, since some of these can be used to impersonate other creators.
It has also introduced an improved setting for comments in YouTube Studio to filter comments before posting to prevent spam. In this way, it has implemented a section in which comments are retained for their corresponding review.
Finally, YouTube has announced that it will continue to monitor user comments for suggestions that they can apply soon and will keep the creators of the platform informed.
