Subscriber count going down

[Dave Pollack]

Hey everyone! I’m just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this or just me. In the past 3 days my subscriber count has gone down by roughly 250, even though my analytics have been showing the the same usual climb each day. Are they purging scam subscribers from the past again? If so that’s totally fine with me! It’s just odd that I went from 13,700 to 13,450 in a couple days while the analytics show gains of 20-30ish each day.

Would love to hear if anyone else is seeing this on their channels.

wish I could relate ,,,, but "purging scam subscribers" sounds reasonable

I have it too. Seems to be a bug:

Oh ok- thanks for that!

OMG, thanks for the information.
I thought it was a purge, but didn’t get why the channel page didn’t show it.
Hope they can fix it soon

It seems fixed now!

Not on mine- still a difference of almost 200 from studio to home page!

Take your pick:
1. People unsubscribe from channels all the time.
2. YouTube just did one of their purges.
3. There was also just a bug that that showed a larger loss in YT Studio compared to channel page

Mu subscriber count stays the same on Analytics for weeks -- unchanged and same number. It says "25,545" -- same number for weeks now. But my channel shows "25.8K". Is this a different bug or the same? Anyone else experiencing this?

UPDATE: Numbers are fixed! They just went up in studio to match what is on the channel page. Hopefully everyone else who had this issue gets theirs resolved soon as well.
