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. Creators: You’ll still see your full sub count in Studio! Learn more → http://yt.be/help/abbrev-count …pic.twitter.com/pmaKk4EU4k

We want to create more consistency everywhere we publicly display subscriber counts! Creators will still be able to see their exact number of subscribers in YouTube Studio.

Create the consistency by showing the full subscriber count everywhere then...don't round it up on the main page you're greeted with. Those numbers, representing PEOPLE, might not matter to you, but they do to us.

The subscribe button and most other surfaces on YouTube already show the abbreviated subscriber number, so this update will just bring consistency. Creators will still be able to see the exact number of people that subscribe to their channel in YouTube Studio.

This is not for consistency reasons, because otherwise you wouldn’t have changed your API too. You are actually trying to prevent drama to keep your reputation in the ad space high, but you are backfiring yourself in the head. You are literally ruining your own platform. Good job
