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!
So, in other words, the subs that we will have left are the ones who are there for us because growing organically is pretty much impossible. Unless you have ideas on how to really grow organically, the majority of us will just be stuck with less than 100 subs, and that's that.
