Youtube has launched a new update regarding the dislike count on Nov 10, 2021, the purpose of the update is to discontinue the dislikes count and it will no longer be public.

In short, you cannot see the count of dislikes on any video on YouTube.

However, the button of dislike is still there and you can still dislike the videos if you don’t like them.

The purpose of the update as stated by the YouTube team is to mitigate the harassment and dislike attacks.

It has become a controversy as well too.

The former co-founder of YouTube, Jawed, criticized the update using a video.

In short, the co-founder stated that the removal of dislikes will stop the users from quickly identifying the bad content on YouTube.

For instance, if you want to watch a tutorial on anything on YouTube – you will consider it reliable by looking at the ratio of likes and dislikes.

If the video gets more dislikes than likes, there is a great chance that the tutorial is outdated or not reliable.

Whether you want to quickly check the dislikes count on a video or try to identify the bad content – in this guide, we are going to teach you how to see YouTube dislikes again.

How to change your channel name on YouTube

Cool YouTube Channel Names

If you are a user of YouTube for a while there is a great chance that you want to see when you subscribe to a YouTube channel.

In short, you might want to know that how long you have been subscribed to a channel on this platform.

However, YouTube does not display the date of subscribing to your channel.

When you click on “All” on the subscriptions page, you can see the list of channels that you have subscribed until now.

However, you will be able to sort the list by “New activity”, “Most relevant” or “A to Z”.

YouTube does not have a feature to sort your subscriptions by “Oldest first” or “Newest first”.

Therefore, you cannot know when you subscribe to a YouTube channel on the platform itself.

In this post, I am going to teach you how to see when you subscribed to a YouTube channel with another method than YouTube.

How to see when you subscribed to a YouTube channel

To complete this process, the first step is to make your subscriptions public.

After doing so, you need to copy the link of your channel and paste it on this link xxluke.de.

Xxluke.de is a third party tool that enables you to see the date when you subscribe to a channel on YouTube.

This can be helpful when you want to know about your interest that when were you interested in this channel.

The only thing you need to do is to give the link of your YouTube channel and the tool will show you your subscriptions and the date of your subscriptions.

As I already told you that YouTube does not have a “Newest first”, “Oldest first” feature to sort your subscriptions.

Therefore you need to use a third party tool to do that.

Here is a step-by-step guide to see when you subscribe to a YouTube channel.

# 1: Make the subscriptions public

The process includes Channel settings > Privacy > Disable “Keep all my subscriptions private”.

First of all, you need to make your subscriptions public.

This will enable the third party tool to go through your subscriptions.

If you will keep the subscription private the tool will not do the job.

YouTube offers the changing of the privacy settings on the channel including your subscriptions as well as playlist.

This allows you to keep your subscription public or private.

1. To get started you need to open the application of YouTube on your mobile device.
2. On the top navigation bar, you need to tap on the profile picture of your channel.
3. Choose “Your channel”
4. The next step is to tap on the “Edit Channel” button.
5. Under privacy, you need to disable the “Keep all my subscriptions private” option to make them public.

The option is enabled by default on YouTube.

So, in order to show your subscriptions to others, the best way is to disable the option by tapping on the switch.

After disabling this option, you need to visit your channel to move on to the next step.

# 2: Copy your channel’s URL/Link

The process includes Your channel > three dots > Copy link/URL.

The next step you need to follow is to copy the link of your channel.

You need to copy the URL because you will need it for the last step.

On the YouTube app, go to the homepage of YouTube and tap on the profile picture of your channel.

Now, tap on “Your Channel” to visit your channel.

After reaching your channel, you need to tap on the three dots available on the top navigation bar.

When you tap on them, it will show a navigation drawer.

It will show you two options when you tap on it including “Share” and “Help and feedback”.

To share your YouTube channel, you need to tap on share.

It will show several sharing options that you can select from such as WhatsApp, Twitter, “Copy link” and so on.

As you need the link of your channel, you need to tap on copy link.

It will copy the link of your channel to your clipboard.

Now move on to the next step, which will tell you how to use a third-party tool to find your subscriptions.

# 3: Paste your link of Channel on the subscription history tool

The process includes visit xxluke.de/subscription-history > Paste your channel’s URL > Continue.

Now that you have copied your YouTube channel link now it’s time to put it on this URL xxluke.de.

It is a third party tool that allows you to watch your YouTube subscription history.

The tool finds your subscriptions from your channel and it is only possible when you set them to public.

1. Now visit this link xxluke.de/subscription-history which is a YouTube subscription history tool.
2. Paste your YouTube channel URL.
3. Tap on “Continue”.

After tapping on continue, it will show your subscriptions under the “Subscriptions” header.

It will also display the date that you subscribed to a channel under the name of your channel.

It will also sort the list from newest to oldest.

So, if you want to see the first channel you have subscribed from your channel, you need to scroll to the bottom.

You need to keep in mind that the tool will not work if your subscriptions are private.

If the tool is not working, you need to check whether your subscriptions are private or public.

If they are private ensure that you disable it before putting your URL in the tool.

This is how you will successfully know how to see when you are subscribed to a YouTube channel.

How do I make my subscriptions public?

Here is a step-by-step guide to make your subscriptions public on YouTube:

1. Go to the homepage of YouTube on the app.
2. On the top navigation bar you need to tap on the profile picture of your channel.
3. Now, select “Your channel”.
4. The next step is to Tap on the “Edit Channel” button”.
5. Under privacy, you need to disable the “Keep all my subscriptions private” option to make them public.

After disabling the option “keep all my subscriptions private” settings, now your subscriptions are public.

Is xxluke safe?

Yes, the tool is available on the website as well as the website itself is safe as it contains an active SSL certificate.

Your task is to provide the URL of your YouTube channel to see the subscription history.

Additionally, it will not steal any of your personal information so do not worry about it.

I have checked that the site gets more than four hundred thousand visitors every month.

Final Words

The process of knowing when you subscribe to a YouTube channel can be helpful for you for two reasons.

First of all, it will help you to remember why did you subscribe to any channel.

For instance, if you are into new music videos a few years ago there is a great chance that you subscribe to a music channel on YouTube that year.

The second reason to know when you subscribe to a YouTube channel shows your faith in it.

If you are subscribed to a channel that means you like it very much.

How to Change your Channel Name on YouTube

How to Download Private Videos on Youtube

You can change your channel name on YouTube at any time.

Furthermore, in YouTube, the names of the channels are not unique so you can also use the same channel name for your new channel.

If you have a new YouTube channel or small channel, you can change the name of the channel.

However, if you have an old YouTube channel with a lot of subscribers, I highly suggest you should not change it.

It is because your subscribers may not recognize your channel due to the change of name.

As a result, you may lose a lot of subscribers because they will unsubscribe your channel.

If you change your channel name more often, you should make an announcement before you do it.

You should make this action public on your social media or in your upcoming video.

The process will tell your subscribers that you have changed the name of your channel.

In this post, I am going to discuss how to change your YouTube channel name on a desktop and on YouTube mobile (iOS/Android).

How to change your channel name on YouTube

You need to open the app of YouTube to change your channel name on YT, and tap on the channel icon.

After reaching the channel, tap on “Edit channel”, after tapping on it, tap on the edit icon available next to the existing channel name.

Now click on the edit icon, this will allow you to change your YouTube channel name.

Click on tick icon to ensure that you have saved your changes.

Now, go back to your YouTube channel to see that your channel name has been changed.

To change your channel name on YouTube, you can use a PC, Laptop or YouTube mobile application.

In this post, I am going to use YouTube app due to an increase in mobile users as compared with desktop users.

Here is a step by step guide on how to change your Channel name on YouTube:

Step 1: Open YouTube mobile app & tap on your channel’s icon

The first step is to open the mobile app of YouTube using your android or iOS.

Then, sign in to your account using credentials if you are not logged in.

The desktop version of YouTube can also be used for this purpose.

In this post, I am going to use YouTube mobile app to complete the process instead of the desktop version of YouTube.

I am using the mobile app due to a lot of users are using it on mobile rather than desktop.

After opening the app on your mobile, the channel icon can be seen on the top navigation bar.

To open the menu, you need to tap on your channel icon.

In YouTube desktop version, this step includes a click on the channel icon.

Step 2: Go to your YouTube channel

After tapping on the icon available on your channel, it will show a navigation menu.

There are many options on the navigation menu.

The options are “Turn on Incognito”, “Add account”, “Your channel”, and so on.

You need to visit your channel in order to change or edit your YouTube channel name.

Firstly, go to your YouTube channel by Tapping on “Your channel”.

The same is the case with the desktop version of YouTube, you need to click on “Your channel” on desktop too.

Step 3: Tap or Click on “Edit channel”

After tapping on “Your channel” on YouTube, you will go to your YouTube channel.

There are a couple of buttons on YouTube channel.

The buttons are “Edit channel” and “Manage Videos”.

They are available between the name of your channel and your uploads.

Tap on the “Edit Channel” button to edit your YouTube channel name.

The process includes the changing of description and your YouTube channel name.

To edit your YouTube channel, you need to Tap on “Edit channel”.

On YouTube desktop version, you need to click on “Customize channel” option.

Step 4: Tap on the edit icon next to your channel name

After tapping on the “Edit Channel” option, you will reach the settings of your channel.

You can edit your channel on your channel settings.

This editing includes your channel banner, name, icon and description etc.

A small edit icon is available next to your channel name.

Tap on this edit icon to edit your YT channel name.

On the desktop version of YouTube, you will see “Channel customization” page.

After landing on “Channel customization” page, click on “Basic Info” to visit your channel settings.

After that, click on the edit icon available next to your channel’s name.

Step 5: Change your YouTube channel name

When you will tap on the edit icon next to your YouTube channel name, you will be directed to the “Edit name” page.

This page will enable you to change or edit your YouTube channel name.

Your YouTube channel name will be displayed in the “Name” field.

First of all, you need to delete the existing channel name to add a new one.

The next step is to select a new YouTube channel name and enter it in the “Name” field.

There is another thing you need to keep in mind that you can only use up to 50 characters.

The name of your channel will be displayed to all the YouTube users.

Furthermore, the changes you will make to your name will be displayed on YouTube.

After changing the name, you need to save the changes to implement them.

To save the changes, Tap on the tick icon.

Now, go back to your YouTube channel and the name will be the name you have recently changed!

The same steps will be applied if you’re using the desktop version of YouTube.

Final Words

If your YouTube channel has a lot of subscribers or followers, I highly recommend do not change the name.

It is because the changing will confuse your subscribers and they might not recognize the name of the channel.

And you will end up with loss of subscribers and it will also affect your viewership negatively.

If you are a newbie, it is okay to change your YouTube channel name.

In this post, I have discussed how to change your YouTube channel name on the YouTube mobile app.

However, there is a different method to use while changing your YouTube channel name on the desktop version of YouTube.

To change it on desktop, you need to visit the “Channel customization” section on YouTube studio and go to “Basic Info”.

You can change your channel name on the “Basic Info” page, and you can do it by clicking on the edit icon next to it.

You need to save your changes just like YouTube mobile app to implement the settings.

You need to click on the “Publish” button to save the changes on desktop version.
