I see people on this forums, that seem pretty new to youtube, and say things like:
"I lost a subscriber? What did I do wrong? "
And make it seem like it's something that should never of have happened, something that almost makes you sad.

But what you don't think about, is WHY did that person unsubscribe.
Is it because he doesn't like your channel?

Before I say some of the reasons behind the " sub drop ", I want to say that this is perfectly normal.
If you lost one sub, in a month of youtube videos - Don't think people don't like your videos.
Even channels I like a lot, like TheDutchTexan, lose subs, look:


it is perfectly normal, 25 subs LOST a month?
That's almost like one subscriber lost per day!
How can you be sad that you lost a sub in one week?

Think that's much? Look at my analytics.

The least I got was 8!
If I didn't lose any subscribers, then I would be already at 13,000.
It is NORMAL. It happens to EVERYONE.


But why?
Well, people like me that are subscribed to a channel, sometimes like to unsubscribe just to check how many subscribers our favourite youtuber got,
or sometimes We unsubscribe because - We didn't want to subscribe.
This is why you probably lost a sub, because people were hovering over your channel's name, and wanted to click " videos " to see more, but accidentally pressed subscribe.
Of course they unsubscribe right after that, but don't worry,
if they want to see your videos,
they will subscribe sooner or later.


TL;DR Don't be sad that you lost subscribers, because the cause isn't always people not liking your videos anymore.
But be happy that you're actually growing your subscriber number, day by day.
Youtube is a game of patience.

Amen to that! I used to get sad if I lost any subscriber, but now I don't really care! That person didn't watch your videos anyway most of the time. Subscribers don't really matter for me, but views do! ;)

Was just looking at your most popular video, and now I see you here.
Are you the illuminati, or are those just coincidences? Lawl

I don't really watch my subscribers on my main channel.
People seem to be continuously subscribing, but I never see an increase in activity lol (We have 778 subscribers and very little likes or comments)

So I don't really care about those numbers.

During VEDA, I found that I was gaining as many subs as I was losing. I mentioned it on FB and some vloggers said the same thing, telling me that they were probably just empty subs who didn't mind being subbed but not watching me when I uploaded once a week, but daily was clogging their feed so they unsubbed. It's good to get rid of subs like that.

In the last 28 days I gained 61 subs, losing only 7. If they wanna leave the community its theirs problem. Why would I care?
