YouTube subscriber bug

[Lock]

Hi there!

I've heard some rumours about this YouTube bug making your subscribers go away. I THINK that I am affected by this and just want to hear a little bit more about it (couldn't find much on google). As of now I have 173 subscribers but I have gotten several emails about people subscribing to me although the number of subscribers seems to stay the same.

Thank you in advance!

It's called the YouTube purge.
I think every year YouTube will decide to remove inactive subscribers and bots. I'm pretty sure that PewDiePie lost more then 600k subscribers.​

Ah man that's really demotivating... I left a sub for you as a little bandaid on the wound <3 hoped it helped

Well a subscriber hug does sound pretty good to be honest

I guess thats good though, do they ever come back or anything if it were to be a bug and not the purge?

thanks bro! you're awasome! I also checked your channel and I liked it and subbed you too. also one feedback: try to make a actual gameplay/lets play video instead of a twitch outtake. that wil be much better. and also start using thumnails for each video. that's all. you doing it great!

Well I heard that they removed some of the active subscribers but I don't really know.​
