I watch the sim racer Jimmy Broadbent sometimes, he's a mid size YouTube streamer. He got a note from YouTube this week that he needs to come up and offer a custom incentive for people to subscribe, otherwise they are going to take away his Join button. Surely he's doing alright for them, he's managed to whip up 250k subs?!?

"JOIN" is not the same thing as a sub and doesn't have anything to do with this article about the Trending feed.
"Join" is a paid channel subscription similar to what Twitch has... you pay $5 bucks a month to have some special status perks and support the channel. Sounds like YouTube has a requirement that you have to actually offer some perks in order to participate in the paid channel subscription program... that makes sense.

Here's what Broadbent offers now:

My guess is that he didn't have any of those bullet points under the Join button before... and YouTube told him he was kind of missing the point and he then added those custom emojis to satisfy them.

He has 250K free subscribers, the number of paid subscribers is undisclosed.
