Based on the feed back from many different YouTubers now @TeamYouTube!
YouTube is infact broken. Notifications are not working. And people are getting recommended videos that are two months to two years old.
Youtubers are experiencing a 20% to 30% loss in views.
YouTube yoinks 10-20% of my views I get.. I'll hit 100 views on a video and it'll drop down to 80. It's annoying, I don't get many views as it is anyways.
