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!
Glad I never put too much effort into a channel just to be screwed by @TeamYouTube. I'm sure this will go great like everything else you've rolled out.
