Quick answers

Is this subscribe link official?

Yes. It uses YouTube’s supported sub_confirmation=1 parameter on the channel URL.

Why do some numbers differ from Studio? How accurate is the playlist estimate?

We count distinct playlistId values embedded in the public channel HTML. That can include tabs, shelves, or duplicates — treat it as a rough signal, not Studio’s exact total.

Can I share this page instead of YouTube? How do I keep visitors engaged?
