Spam indicator

No videos but have over 10 subscribers

What it checks

Whether a channel with no videos has subscribers anyway.

The exact rule

It fires (100%) when the channel has 0 public videos and more than 10 subscribers.
Otherwise it reads 0%.

Why it can point to spam

Subscribers usually follow videos. A channel with subscribers and nothing to watch may have bought them, or may have been emptied so it can be renamed, sold or reused.

When it fires on a legitimate channel

A channel can be empty for a while during a rebrand, after its videos were made private, or before a known person's or brand's first upload, when fans subscribe ahead.

How to change it

If you run the channel, publishing a public video clears it. Check the channel again and click Run again so the checker reads it fresh from YouTube.
