For the last few years I have been told by you guys that you were unsubscribed and you don't get notifications anymore despite having them on and phone notifications on for YouTube. It has easily been in the 10s of thousands I've heard this from in person or online during this time. I also do not show up on home pages of many users who subscribe and engage, nor are notifications properly sent out.
I originally deduced it to perhaps people no longer enjoying me or my content, until it was brought to my attention that most of this is unintentional by the viewer and YouTube has been unsubscribing people without their choice. I've even heard that they have randomly subscribed them to Mr Beast without them ever having hit subscribe.
I don't want special treatment, I just want to a fair system that lets your content speak for itself. If people like it, they subscribe and stay subscribed until they choose to unsubscribe.
I am not sure what is causing this, but what I do know is that those being unsubscribed are having it done against their choice. It feels like a rigged system to me and I don't know who or what is behind this.
I'll continue to upload, but my trust in YouTube has been shaken.
