Is there a way to see all subscribers?

Community Answer

You won't be able to see those who've made their subscriptions private; they will not appear on your list.

Will blocking a user remove them completely from my subscribers?

Community Answer

No. It will just prevent the blocked subscriber from making comments. They will still be on your subscriber list.
