I've Got It
Hello to you all, I have been the past week trying to figures it out but I can't do it alone.

I have a travel channel on YouTube and I have been growing slowly. I manage to get to a point of getting 3 subscribers a day on average. About 80 to 90 subscribers a day.

Suddenly on September 13, 14, 15 and 16 I got no subscribers. And since those days I got an average of 1 subscriber a day. I also have a drop in views.

I have checked other big channels and they experience some drop in subs and views also, not a big thing but you can see it was not normal.

Anyone who can help here?
3 subs a day back to 1 sub a day is a big difference for me, I have been working very hard to earn them...
 
Probably indeed just the changing of the watching season. A lot of people are very busy with school/work right now, November will be slow in itself. Expect it to pick up again in the Christmas season, when everyone has time off ;)
 
School.

A lot of people are back to school meaning less views on youtube.
I thought about it!! But such a big drop that I couldn't really believe that school would make such an impact.
Thank you, I was really thinking there was something wrong with me and the channel.[DOUBLEPOST=1509292227,1509292134][/DOUBLEPOST]

Christmas vacation we should get a raise in views and subscribers. If I don't I'll come after you!! Hahahaha
Thanks a lot for the info, it makes total sense.
So I guess summer would be the best time of the year?
 
It could also be Youtube cleaning out dead/inactive subscribers or even possibly bots who subscribed to your channel via your video(s) being shared on some type of blog/travel site. At least that is the reason that I think for such the consistent subscriber drop rate. =\ Regardless just keep at it and things will get better. But it'll require lots of grinding. :O!
 
For me, I usually get one subscriber a day, which disappears almost instantly. I have also noticed the drop in views, and there´s a high possibility that school and work has something to do with it. Everyone doesn´t have the time to watch videos all the time!

It can be that "Cleaning session" also.
I have been making videos and growing slowly for 3 years already, but it was the first time it happened to me so I didn't know what it was.
I guess before my channel was so small that I could realize the changes. I'm still small 1.1k subs but I love making videos, so I'll keep on grinding![DOUBLEPOST=1509294486,1509294234][/DOUBLEPOST]

After all the replies and thinking for a while I really think it was school. Most of the schools in my country start on the second week of September so it makes sense to me.

With around 7 billion people in the world and with YouTube having 1.5 billion people watching videos in 1 hour. I just need 5 subs a day and I'm a happy man.

As @Farley Productions said, we have to keep on grinding
