After over a week of trying to get a meeting with @TeamYouTube we finally have one scheduled for an hour from now. If you have any constructive feedback to share with them regarding the abbreviated subscriber numbers (via the api), reply to this tweet.
Tell them, to start listening to us, on sub counts and everything else. If YouTube won't change, then maybe it isn't time for everyone to change platform. We left Skype for Discord. We can do the same for YouTube.
