I mean most people in adult spaces aren't really discussing YouTube and who they subscribe to lol. But it's a useful feature to tell the algorithm "hey, show me when this channel uploads a new video please"

I think you're really over thinking it in regards to the 'culture' most well-adjusted adults don't think about the people they subscribe to on YouTube as anything other than cool creators whose work they want to follow.

There is a whole dumb culture around it though. Listen to the cadence of the professional tube jockeys. There is a Youtuber Voice that has become part of that dumb culture. Notice how they all pander for their button clickers with similar carnival barker catchphrases to gather their little micro-boosts to raise their Tuber Rank.

It's all that junk that makes me puke

People do what helps them make a living. I don't like it any more than you do, but you seem to be attributing way too much baggage to something that's no different to a street vendor hawking their wares at passerby. Times change, but people's motivation stays the same.
