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!
God it’s like you’ve thought, “dammit the people are keeping PewDiePie in first, we thought we could dethrone him with T-Series, screw it let’s just delete half his subs and say they’re all bots, nobody will notice I’m sure!”
