Subscriber count is kind of a bad metric. Most youtubers know that most of their viewers aren't subscribed, and that most of their subscribers don't watch all of their videos. It's a lot more useful for small channels that don't get recommended to randoms, but the bigger the channel gets the worse it is as a metric.
How about floatplane subs?

Cause it looks like that over the past 36 hours they've lost >3000 subs there... which IIRC is a paid service.
Edit: Another way to look at how much they've lost is ~10%
where did this data come from?
You can view the current sub count if you have a floatplane account (even if you're not subbed to them). This appears to match the number I see on their profile. So I would presume it scrapes their site for it.
Makes sense, thanks!
