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 stop making harsh changes without the communities knowledge and look at feedback BEFORE the changes begin. Ask generally respected youtubers for their perspective and take note of what they have to say because the creators are an extremely important asset to the site
