TL;DR: Are your YouTube subscribers growing steadily but your views aren't catching up? What's all that about? Find out on this week's TubeTalk with the experts from vidIQ.

What's more important to you as a YouTube creator - views or subscribers? Should you even have to choose? Well, for some creators, subscriber growth is steady and positive but the majority of those subscribers don't regularly return to watch their content. It's like they don't even care about the videos they publish!

In this week's episode of TubeTalk, I'm joined by vidIQ's very own Rob Wilson and Dan Carson to discuss why subscriber numbers don't always convert to higher views. It's a question we get asked a lot so we wanted to address it. In this podcast we cover:

Why YouTube subscriber growth doesn't always lead to significant views
Why your videos are getting fantastic views but viewers aren't subscribing
The value of subscribers vs the value of a view
What you need to know about 'Audience Retention'
Tips about how to engage with your audience
Why analytics are your best friend
