Heads up, Creators: On Dec 13-14 you may see a noticeable decrease in your sub count as we remove spam subscriptions. If spam is removed, you'll see a YouTube Studio alert: https://goo.gl/qGDBvX This should help give you confidence that the subs you do have are real fans!

So are users who don't often watch content, going to be removed? I'm subbed to a large number of channels, not all of which I watch on a regular basis, will my subs be targeted by this system? To be clear, I don't care about my sub count, I care about the channels I'm subbed to

No, we don't remove inactive subscriptions--only closed accounts or spam subscribers are removed from the channel subscriber count.

How does your system distinguish between the two?

A "spam" subscriber is someone that is subscribed to a lot of smaller channels instead of a few big channels funded by big corporations that are promoted by youtube and get into trending even with low views and user interactions.
