The ability to display the channels a user is subscribed to on YouTube is a feature controlled through account privacy settings. Modifying this setting allows other users to view the list of channels to which an account is subscribed. For example, a user might wish to showcase their interests or affiliations by making their subscriptions visible.
Visibility of subscriptions can be beneficial for users seeking to connect with like-minded individuals, share their interests, or promote channels they support. Historically, the default setting on YouTube was to have subscriptions visible; however, changes in user privacy concerns and platform updates have led to more granular control over this aspect of account customization. This control empowers users to manage their online presence more effectively.
