What does it mean to subscribe on Youtube?

Question

When I visit Youtube, there's always this little box to subscribe.
Please advise what this means. Does it mean I have to pay money or get a bunch of emails in my inbox? I'm a newbie in many ways and want to know how to save my favorite "posters" on youtube but hesitate to subscribe. Thanks for any feedback!
