Subscriber count changing or dropping

Subscribe to our YouTube Help channel to get the most out of YouTube.

Generally, it's normal to see fluctuations in your subscriber count. If it seems that your subscriber count has changed or dropped, it could be for one of these reasons: 

• Viewers are subscribing and unsubscribing to your channel normally. If a user unsubscribes and then re-subscribes to your channel, they need to reset their notifications. Otherwise, they may not see new content from your channel in their email or YouTube feed.
• We've removed spam subscribers from your channel.

If subscriber changes seem like they're outside the normal fluctuation rate, it could be due to a known issue. If you believe you're experiencing a problem outside the normal rate of subscriber count fluctuations, you can report an issue.
