So guys, I know that YT is strict about giveaways but can someone explain it to me in a couple of sentance on what they restrict. Would I be able to do a giveaway but say that subscribing is not mandatory but I recommend they do so?

The rules arent really written anywhere . But what people normally get in to trouble for is if they force people to subscribe and say you have to hit the like button and go and subscribe to 4 other channels and like my twitter facebook instagram etc etc. And the biggest thing is not having a prize to give away.

but there is nothing stopping you from saying the winner will be picked ( by whatever means ) and must be subscribed to my channel.

Giveaways are such a strange thing its all pretty much a Grey Area. Mostly common sense will cover you

I see a problem with this sort of thing though...it leads to a lot of "dead" subs. They just subscribe to your channel for a chance to win something, then never come back.

thats very true but for the BIG occasions when you do give aways like 10k subs or 1 Million Views that stuff you will get a few that join for the prize and never come back i guess its just normal. doing weekly give aways would be bad as most will be dead subs and not there to watch your content
 
While it can get you subs that dont return, it can also get you subs that do return. If you have good content that the people you are doing the giveaway for like, they will be more likely to stay. It also gives incentive to people that weren't willing to check you out at all before to be a little more willing. So it could be worth it, just dont have high hopes thats all.
 
I just looked at your channel and noticed it was new too. Unless you have something to give away that doesnt cost you anything I would hold out on it. Try more stuff like social media and such to get more subs/viewers if you can.
