Issue Upon Issue!!! D:

So if you have been watching my videos, you will notice that ONE: I have uploaded new videos, and TWO: I uploaded an opening video of my camera. That means that ONE: I have bought a flashdrive and transferred all of my old videos on there, and TWO: I have a camera again! :D YAY! :D


Now you may think that everything is okay now, correct? WRONG. YouTube has again decided to crash the party and cause problems. You may see that on my channel I have 891 (last time I checked) subscribers. This is due to a bug. YouTube was trying to get rid of closed/terminated accounts (didn't they take enough away already???) and caused many channels to appear to lose many subscribers. Actually, I have 998 subscribers. You can see why the 891 angers me. Even though I have not lost very many subscribers, YouTube makes it look as if I have lost about 120 subscribers. :/ YouTube is AGAIN making me earn back the 1,000 subscribers I HAVE ALREADY EARNED TWICE!!!! D:<<<< It is SO stressful!!!


If you are also experiencing this issue, here is how to find how many subscribers you actually have. Go to analytics. On the left there is a menu of stats you can see. Click "Subscribers". Next, at the top, it says overview. Underneath that, it says "Content", "Geography", and "Date Range". Click the drop down menu of "Date Range". On the drop down menu, change "Last 30 Days" to "Lifetime". Look at your "Subscriber Net Change" and that is the actual amount of subscribers you have. 

It can be reassuring to find out that you have actually not lost that many, but yet very frustrating too. :/ Even as my actual subscriber rate is the same, the subscriber counter on my channel keep decreasing subscribers. :/ I find this very discouraging, as everyone will see this amount and only you can see the true amount. :( 


What you can do is scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Report a Bug" and just follow the instructions. Make sure you are still on the analytics page you went to earlier. I have already reported it, but it would be great if all of you did too. That way, YouTube will see that there is an urgent issue to be resolved. Hopefully, YouTube will resolve this bug soon.
