That way you don't have to keep updating the videos or writing (number)+ for active channels. It is possible with Javascript, however, Javascript on Wikia does not work on mobile devices. The row for videos would just be blank on your phone.

Currently the row for subscribers is blank on mobile because we use JS to create the subscriber button. I don't think we would be able to sacrifice two infobox rows due to automatically generated content. Who uses mobile devices, anyway? Would it be that much of a problem if mobile users couldn’t see how many videos YouTubers have? They can just go to their channel to see, anyway.

I think that it’d be very beneficial if you could see the exact video number instead of a non-exact amount.

How about having two parameters: one for mobile devices—which displays a non-exact amount, like “50+”—and one for computers, which displays the exact amount using JavaScript.

Also, I think that the YouTuber and YouTuber1 templates should be combined with the use of another parameter in the YouTuber template. There has been a significant increase in mobile usage on Wikia, which is the whole reason they implemented portable infoboxes. Neglecting mobile users is not an option.
