The answer

Watching forbidden clips and subscribing to channels that publish them on YouTube constitutes aiding in their dissemination and promotion by increasing the number of views and subscribers. The viewer and subscriber bear a share of the sin for this.

A Muslim must avoid watching these clips and channels so as not to assist in spreading the forbidden, because aiding in sin is prohibited, as Allah Almighty says: "And do not cooperate in sin and aggression." Furthermore, whoever calls to misguidance or establishes a bad practice will bear its burden and the burden of those who act upon it, and whoever aids in sin is a partner in the wrongdoing.
