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.
Live Information from @SocialBlade lets me know what to expect in a week, 30 days, and even a full year. I use that to help me know when I am growing to slowly or am growing quicker than expected. It gives creators a set goal to achieve and helps them work harder to reach it.
