Based on the feed back from many different YouTubers now @TeamYouTube!
YouTube is infact broken. Notifications are not working. And people are getting recommended videos that are two months to two years old.
Youtubers are experiencing a 20% to 30% loss in views.
Don’t like it? Go find another place that hosts videos for you for free and and gives you a share of ad revenue as well as youtube does. There isn’t one because youtube is great.
