Is Buying YouTube Subscribers Worth It for New Channels?

I’ve recently started a fitness YouTube channel. The content is solid (at least I hope so), but getting those first 1,000 subscribers feels like climbing a mountain. I’ve seen people recommend buying subscribers to build social proof, but I’m not sure if it’s a smart move. Does it help attract genuine viewers, or can it backfire? If anyone here has tried it, I’d love to hear your experience. Also, I’m looking for detailed information on what to look for in a service to avoid low-quality subscribers that disappear in a few weeks. Any insights would be appreciated!
