What's your opinion on

Basically it's so I can get to 69 subs faster and everything I get a new sub I unsub an alt account to stay on 69 subs for longer - so if you have more than 69 subs and it's not a technical thing then why bother man?

The thing about it making easier to check your own updates is true. For example, Tapas resist on having episodes being scheduled in EST time 12-hours clock and let me tell you it's infuriating lol.
After one point or another this one sub of your own doesn't mean anything how many subscribers do you think one should get before it stops being self-validation or cheating? Does Neil Gaiman getting a Netflix subscription after they aired Sandman counts as cheating? You can't cheat the algorithm with 1 sub and as for self-validation... is it even really bad to be "your own fan"?

you are looking at it through the lens of a reader. its just another tool for creators to make sure their content is good. also, no one can see who is subbed except you, as far as i am aware. and lastly, who cares. if you care that much about it then dont do it. silly really.

If I'm not my #1 fan, who'll be?

I remember asking on the Discord once since I thought about unsubscribing from myself and this girl once said "there's nothing wrong with loving yourself". If that sounds goofy... it isn't when you think about it. I think the fact that they even allow you to do it in the first place shows that you're proud of the work you make.

Also you have to keep in mind for collab efforts. It's as if the creator is giving props to the team with the heart/subscribe. Like "If this were made by someone else, I'd follow it".

That's my perspective on it lol.
