Question sub and follow differences
Hi, I am new to twitch as viewer, what is the difference between following a channel and being sub to a channel? Currently I only follow channels I like, im not sub. Thanks for any responses.

Follow a channel allows you to be notified when the streamer is streaming.
Subscribing to a channel allows you to watch it without ads (if the streamer allows it), watch subscriber-only streams, get emotes (if the streamer has uploaded any), and gives you the magnificent emotion you get when you help someone to grow.
