After over a week of trying to get a meeting with @TeamYouTube we finally have one scheduled for an hour from now. If you have any constructive feedback to share with them regarding the abbreviated subscriber numbers (via the api), reply to this tweet.
Few ppl use SB and sub counts maliciously, u don't have to punish 99% of YTers who just like to geek over numbers in order to punish them. Friendly competition and sub count celebrations won't ever be the same. Punish uploaders of vids encouraging "cancelling", not users like me
