I have yet to meet any person in real life who has spoken of Subscribing to a YouTube Channel. I have never subscribed to any YouTube channel or even smashed the Like button on any YT video. I find the social media oriented facet of YT to be completely useless and irrelevant to my purpose of finding and viewing certain videos.
This whole pretend culture around youtubers is as alien to me as it would be for a Commanche Indian from the old West to be given an electric hairdryer.
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.

I only subscribe to one channel and that’s because it’s a friend of mine (they make indie acoustic-electronic music)
