Just watched the @PhillyD vid about @TeamYouTube finally admitting they deliberately send notifications to a subset of our subscribers. Not a stretch to assume that affects search and related promotion. Nice job digging our graves for us @YouTube 

If what you said is true, then they lied or there is a bug. However, I'm going to put trust in what they say over anecdotal evidence. My own anecdotal evidence goes against what you've said so it all means nothing.

I hope its a bug :)

Yeah, it's either a bug or they're lying to us. However, the origination of this thread was regarding what they said and a LOT of big YouTubers are crazy confused about the whole thing.
