You said you heard a lot of feedback about creator stress and well-being but if you continue to make the specific counts accessible to the creator it won't alleviate that stress.

And even if you did make subscriber counts rounded up there's no guarantee it would help deal with stress regardless. I can only speak for myself, but a huge stress in my life is uncertainty, and frankly this would only worsen it.

Uncertainty is a fact of life that we all must learn to cope with

Plenty of difficulties are, but it doesn't stop them from having an affect on the individual, nor does it mean we shouldn't attempt to alleviate them where possible. YouTube say they're trying to resolve creator stress, I'm responding to that narrative.

I believe they have multiple reasons for it aside from creator stress, such as the public viewing parties of people losing subscribers when they’re “canceled” like they did for ProJared Also, to my understanding, we creators can still see the accurate number on our end.

If those were the reasons, they should've just stated them. And as always, they could have just rolled out a policy that went after broadcasts of real time counts. And yes, I addressed that in my first reply, the second was a hypothetical.

I agree. I know they say they’re working on being more transparent, but they omit a lot
