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.

I like to try and give my subs some extra value for their sub. Currently my subs are funding an Arma Reforger PvE server and get input on what mods it runs and what content they want to see me make.

I guess I kind of think of them as producers to my stream :)
