Just watched the @PhillyD vid about @TeamYouTube finally admitting they deliberately send notifications to a subset of our subscribers. Not a stretch to assume that affects search and related promotion. Nice job digging our graves for us @YouTube 

The subset of subscribers is those that actually want notifications and those who watch the most of your content though.. I don’t see anything wrong with that. Unless it doesn’t actually send it out to those who rung the bell and they’re just lying to you which is what I’ve heard
