Heads up, Creators: On Dec 13-14 you may see a noticeable decrease in your sub count as we remove spam subscriptions. If spam is removed, you'll see a YouTube Studio alert: https://goo.gl/qGDBvX This should help give you confidence that the subs you do have are real fans!
have a look at The Young Turks... clearly there are about 56 real people in their chat when there are inflated, paid-for shillbots repeating garbage this type of content is garbage but as long as the network is paying YouTube it will keep flowing there is no more YOU in YouTube
