No, absolutely don't. Fake subscribers from Indian vendor sites don't watch videos, don't engage, don't click ads. YouTube algorithm catches this immediately. Channels get shadowbanned or removed for this. Even if it works temporarily, it destroys your channel's credibility long-term. Algorithm cares about watch time and engagement rate, not subscriber count. 10,000 real subscribers who watch every video is better than 100,000 fake ones who don't. Real growth is slower but actually builds audience that supports you. YouTubers who bought subs early in career regret it. Don't waste money on fake growth when that money could go to better camera, microphone, or editing software.

Look, buying subscribers is pointless not for moral reasons but because it doesn't work. Real growth comes from consistency, quality, and algorithm luck. Fake subscribers make you look bigger but you're not actually bigger. And if algorithm sees low engagement despite high subs, it actually hurts you. You're literally paying to harm your own channel. If you have money to throw at growth, spend on proper lighting, good microphone, better editing software. Invest in quality, not fake metrics. Indian YouTube is competitive, so focus on making genuinely good content that people want to watch, not buying numbers.
