Yeah im sure.
They're probably gonna patch it but all the subs will still be lost.

So is this just superficial and not actually indicative of how many people are [b] actually [/b] subscribed?

No, if this is the same glitch causing people to be unsubscribed from people before, its legitimately unsubscribing people likely as Reagy described.
[QUOTE=Mister Sandman;51796427]Didn't they deny that there was any subscriber count glitch a few months ago?

Oops YT twitter guy just made it clear that is actually a problem.

It's not like its actually unsubbing real people
It's just the number that is being displayed

At least, according to what the YouTube team people said

poodipie on the case
Isn't this like the third time this has happened?
Tana lost something like 32,000 subs in 6 minutes.
PewDiePie is crashing at around 50 subs per second, so it's not a massive end of the world, but it does mean he will dip underneath 50mill in less than a week if it continues.
How is everyone thinking that the drop in subscribers is permanent?
Obviously it's just a problem with the counter, not the actual subscribtions themselves. It's not like each time you press the button someone else is unsubscribed.
some serious damage control will be needed from youtube if this shit continues for the next day or so. even now this is impacting people.

Tana has lost over half a million subs so far.

Because theres been a mysterious phenomenon for the past half year of people being mysteriously legitimately unsubbed from channels, and this fits that to a T.

Though, if the bug really is in the counter, and youtube uses the counter in any way (if it's for efficiency or whatever) to send out new video updates, it could shed some light as to why some people don't receive them.
[QUOTE=mayo;51796263]jesus christ, what the fuck is wrong with the people at youtube. they're a bunch of incompetent apes, how do they fuck up this badly.[/QUOTE]
It's probably something very minor. Most of the glitches with subscriptions are cosmetic, as in people are still subscribed but the numbers change and are updated. I'm sure some reports of people being unsubbed a while are true.
I think people are overreacting.

Yeah I don't understand how anyone could see this and jump to the conclusion that, say, a bot doing it over and over would eventually unsubscribe everyone from that channel. It's just a visual glitch.
looks like the bug has been partly patched.
they aren't going back to normal, just stayed flat.
Yeah sadly it looks like its on the way to being patched.
Shame, wanted to see her profile hit 0.
