Public facing is always inaccurate, so nbd there, but the api? Guys, the studio beta doesn't even show an accurate sub count. I've been using social blade for that. Speaking of, literally everyone wants live subscriber counts. Is there at least a reason?

They say it's to be consistent with other platforms that do the same. But I'm pretty sure it's been the rash of recent drama with people watching others sub counts drop and get 'canceled '.
