    I was looking around youtube for some nice videos to watch and I came across this guy's livestream. I was baffled, and awed by his stream. If you don't know, it was just one of those sub-counter streams where they watch popular youtuber sub-counts. What happened here is insane.

    There's apparently a newfound glitch in youtube that basically allows you to,
    "Kill a channel's sub count"
    The glitch makes it whereas some channels can lose hundreds of subscribers a second, even more.
    I looked stuff up and apparently this is real, and it's happening.
    The video above is by a guy named "BlackScreenTV', who at this time, is in a negative range of subscribers. Holy hell.

    Just look:
    https://livecounts.net/channel/pewdiepie

    https://livecounts.net/channel/leafyishere

    https://livecounts.net/channel/Tana Mongeau
    (She was at 2.5 million subscribers!)

    This is absolutely insane and I am worried as crap. I'm not going to say the glitch to avoid any more unecessary abusers of it. Let's just say, this is probably one of the biggest history-making events for youtube..but in a bad way.

    I'd like to hear your thoughts about the topic, and please don't bash me if this is "somehow fake". I doubt it honestly, PewDiePie streamed about it, all the sub-count websites show the facts, and this guy streamed throughout the beginning until now. Just pray for the people who make a living, support their-selves and a family off the site, as their careers could possibly be in jeopardy.

    PewDiePie's stream:

    New site that covered this: http://heatst.com/tech/youtube-is-f...remove-massive-numbers-of-subs-from-channels/
    By the looks of it, Youtube is working to fix the glitch. Let's just hope they get it done soon.

    As PewDiePie kinda explained:

    It's not an actual effect, it's just visual for the time being.

    It only actually counts for one unsub (your account) but it shows up as 100.

    Aight so ty guys above^
    I'll keep this thread open mainly due to the stuff still going on, but this will be locked once it's resolved. By what peeps are saying it's a visible glitch so that's great..let's just hope YT fixes it because there's millions of people freaking out about it right now.

    Edit: The glitch seems to be fixed now so this thread is no longer necessary.
