Currently, public sub counts are abbreviated in most but not all places across YouTube. In August, we’ll make this more consistent by always showing abbreviated sub counts publicly.

I'm guessing that you want to de-emphasize numbers to stop people from jumping on drama and watching sub-counts drop. This is a small change that might make YouTube's culture less toxic, which is great! But please explain your reasoning! People are upset cuz they don't know why

But Tim, the problem is that for each PewDiePie vs T-Series/James Charles drama there are millions of small content creators who want to show their fans and friends and families that they improved and that every subscriber is important. And this is more important than drama IMHO.
