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!
Doesn’t really make a difference to us low sub content makers. @TeamYouTube screwed us over a year ago. Apparently despite having people watch ads and support your channel doesn’t mean anything if you aren’t watched enough. Most are looking for a new platform to video on.
