This is how I know the @YouTube Algorithm sucks, and the subscribers don't matter to YouTube. (they matter to us). This person was a regular viewer, and commenter on our content. They get no notifications, they NEVER see our videos, and slowly people do forget with SO much out there. I know that @TeamYouTube Doesn't see this as an issue at all. They only care about the computer algorithm, and showing us what they want us to see, and NOT what people subscribed for. My channel is a legacy channel. It turns 17 years old this year. A lot of our audience never clicked a bell, cause it wasn't a thing. They didn't turn on notifications, because again, it wasn't a thing. So slowly they have faded away (and aged out, which is totally normal). It's just sad to me when they find us through a community post, or a short, and tell us that they NEVER see our content anymore. Recently we lost our dog Memphis, she was on the channel for 13 years. I always feel horrible when people find out so much later, because YouTube doesn't show them our content. They have even changed the subscriber page now, which I used to tell people to skip the homepage and ONLY look a the sub box, but now the top videos on that are also algorithm videos that YouTube pushes. Yes, I know things change, yes, I know YouTube isn't anything near what it was before, and yes, I know they push an algorithm to get people to stay on their platform so they can make money off the backs of hard working creators. There was a time when my main channel was a HUGE source of our income, but not anymore. What's my point? My point is, I am sad that this is how my subscriber had to find out that our dog passed. It made me sad. and angry and sad. That's all.
