I noticed from views usually 10% more or less subscribers watch. If you have 1000 subs you will get average 100 views per video or if you have ten million you will get million plus views. It seems people subscribe then they forget? Why is it like that?

Jenna Marbles has almost 13 million subscribers and her videos below 3 million views. Ijustine has almost 2 million and her views rarely go beyond 200 thousand lately. Shane Dawson views are below million per video lately and he has like almost 6 million subscribers. Only this percentage of subscribers seem to watch videos. What does it mean?

any of you subscribe to channel and then you forget and what makes you forget or remember the channel?
 
To be fair a lot of the channels I watch regularly get at least 50 percent of subscribers watching them, also quite a lot of the time they get far more views then they have subscribers

yeah, that's about right. my old channel only had 10% watching. My newer has less subs and more views which is a better ratio

I don't really watch vloggers, vloggers and gamers seem to have a generally low view to subscriber ratio for some reason, it might have to do with how easily the content is produced but who knows
 
well channel rank seems to be calculated by number of subs but then what does it even meen to have a million subs if 100 thousand is views one gets- where are the subscribers? sometimes i read articles that say "he/she has 200 thousand loyal subscribers " then i go on their channel and see 6000 views per video and am wondering - I am really not sure what is happening and was it always this way? anyone here remembers youtube at beginning? was it always this ratio?
 
Well the main reason it happens is because people will sub then stop watching of the youtuber doesn't keep making consistently good content. Some youtubers could gain a lot of subscribers through a single video and then them same subscribers think all their other videos are terrible
 
It's usually because not every single subscriber is active, that's why it's good to have a views to subscribers ratio at 5:3
 
Even if the channels are pumping out awesome content, subs are often subbed to several channels but only have a finite amount of time to watch YT videos so they can't watch every video that every channel creates.

If aYTuber is subbed to 10 channels who each make 2 videos per week, that's 20 videos per week to watch or about 3 per day. Add the fact that not all subs are as addicted to YT as we are and may only visit YT twice a week for a couple of hours. So every time he visits, there'll be 10 videos in his feed and just 2 hours to spare. and maybe he spends that time watching viral videos sent to him by his work mates or just randomly checking out cat videos. And those are conservative estimates. There was a thread on here a while ago where people said they are subbed to hundreds of channels lol.

YT makes it very easy to sub to a channel (big red button) and usually we as creators do everything we can to turn views into subs via annotations etc, but it is a bit more of a hassle to unsub from a channel and so people don't usually bother, but that doesn't mean that they are active.
 
People make different types of videos. You may often find people subscribe for say a minecraft cinematic and don't watch any of the mediocre let's plays.
