YouTube will remove the “hide subscriber” option and release updates.

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

Those who will be impacted.

A number of modifications will be implemented by YouTube to assist safeguard users and producers shielded from spam comments while making it more difficult for phoney accounts to pose as real ones.
The ability for authors to set the level of rigour for auto-moderation will be strengthened, among other enhancements. According to YouTube, more spam and possibly improper comments will be detected.
