As of about 3pm ET (19:00 UTC) today YouTube has started to abbreviate subscriber counts via the api. Right now it seems to be hit or miss which channels have exact numbers & which ones don't. Read this to see how to best use Social Blade going forward:https://socialblade.com/blog/abbreviated-subscriber-counts-on-youtube/ …

To be clear, the only feature of Social Blade that is massively impacted by YouTube's change is real time sub counts. The rest of our features will still work is pretty much the same way. You can still research a channels historical performance, find channels to work with, etc.

Reminder, when looking at anyone's YT Social Blade forever into the future. Sept 17th 2019 you may see a big red number. This is due to YouTube removing all but the first 3 digits of a sub count. So for example 101,456,396 subs changes to 101,000,000 or a rounded "loss" of 450kpic.twitter.com/zt8PAabHkn

To respond to everyone suggesting we allow you to log in w/ your YouTube account to get the exact number. At this point YouTube does not provide the exact number that way either, and even if it did we're not sure their policy would allow us to do more then share it with you

Honestly I'd be ok with just that. As a streamer I use the live sub counts in streams, so if I have a way to access that in a better fashion than YouTube's small little button in studio, that'd be great

yeah. considering the full sub count is delayed by a week in studio according to dantdm i think it would be good too because i haven't heard of someone who is stressed about their sub count before. and i'm sure only about 10 people told them to abbreviate numbers lol smh

This was the same for me. Emailed creator support a week ago about it due to @TeamYouTube ignoring tweets and a few days after that things seemed synchronised again.
