(How) Does subscribing affect your popularity?

At first your answer to this question will be: ˝Well,of course subscribing affects popularity,the more subs you have better you are˝,but being popular is not the same as being good,here on PMC.

I have seen plenty of users having dozens and hundreds of subscribers but yet their skins/projects lack in originality and quality,however on the other side many users that make much better stuff do not have almost any subscribers :(

Why is that so?

Honestly,i have no idea.

Many people that browse PMC do not have an acc so they can´t subscribe.Other people that have accs are maybe to lazy to subscribe or give a diamond,since diamonds lost their purpose as well,as Enraric mentiones them in his blog
http://www.planetminecraft.com/blog/my-thoughts-on-diamonds-and-diamond-etiquette/
In one of his blogs about ˝1%˝ he states that subscribers do greatly affect your view and diamond count,which is true.So you might say that you in fact do get popular with many subs.However that is the main problem here.People that have many subs get many diamonds -> many diamonds means popular post -> afterwards more people will subscribe to you if you have a popular post and the process repeats it self,leaving the less famous,hard working users behind,to result in them eventually leaving the site because they feel less productive.
My point is that we all need to pay more attention to the quallity of a post,not just to the diamond/sub count.Many of us,when we see that person has a lot of diamonds,tend to give one as well,unlike when we see a person with no diamonds.We subconsciously choose to ignore a persons hard work if they don´t have enough diamonds.If they are not popular enough.And why are they not popular enough?Because they do not have as many subscribers as others do.
Which get´s us back to the main question.Does subscribing affect your popularity?
It most certanly does,if you do not have much subs and you make quality work,but if you have hundreds of subs they lose value to you,and can just push down the less popular.
Dislaimer:
I don´t say that people with that many subs did not deserve them!Most of them did,I just want us all to pay more attention to other,small artists and architects.If you see that someone did a hard work on their post,don´t
 hesitate,subsribe them!It will mean a lot to them and it only takes you half a second to do it :)
