  • There's is a bug i found but don't know where to talk'bout it.. The views of my video: 267

    No mather howmany people're watching it video, it doen't go further than 267!:S?

  • Interesting. You know what? I notice that every video I put, the view count freezes at 200 and something for a little while, then it updates in a few hours. If it's getting a lot views right now, it might just be having a hard time updating.

  • O_O!!!!!!

  • NO! This was almost a year ago. I sure hope it's not happening again. I know a lot of people have incorrect sub counts the past few days but I don't think it's this problem again. I'm getting a lot of comments again on this video... I hope nobody shared it, people will get worried that it's happening again!

  • stagecurtains sent me this. Is this the viral message about losing your Youtube site? I received it, too, as a bulletin. And it scared the pants off me. I never followed their instructions, and no problems.

  • AtomicUs5000 great video my five stars take care kiss...

  • AtomicUs5000 great video my five stars take care kiss...

  • Thanks for the insight William!! It is obvious that you wouldnt do this to anyone!

    Im happy they finally got around to fixing the problem!!!

  • ive figured out a bug today

  • Thanks for that William! Someones been messing with me and keeping me at 666. The actuall count is 675! Now I know jow they're doing it!

  • Great investagating!!)

  • Everyone who knows you know you could not do anything like this, so dont worry.

  • You sure got that right David!!  Thanks Mr+Mrs A for this vid!!*****Duke

  • there is no reason for alarm. This bug is no longer in effect. This is a very old video.

  • Hey I think there may be another bug. I just dropped 7 subscribers today. I have heard other comments like this too. Wonder what is up

  • I guess it's possible for the problem to come back. I haven't seen it awhile though. I've seen other problems lately.

  • youtubes site is really fucked up now!!!

  • hey i have a pretty nifty idea...wut if u report the vid as spam? then they have to check out the vid to c if its clean but they will c that bug during the inspection

  • Did the bug bite u!? o.0 LoL jk

  • you need a life if you actually spend that much time deleting 320 subscribers rofl.

  • Don't roll too hard buddy, it's called iMacros

  • I think there should be a YouTube helpline in all countries

  • Pardon my wireless keyboard. I'l;l try again! My sub # is not right! I counted 6 more subs than the # reflects! Can you help??

  • The counts are still messed up for quite a few people. I have attempted to contact YouTube about it, but it will be pointless for about a week (people on vacation).

  • it dont work lol

  • yeah that's why the title says fixed.

  • It aassot ixeecausy ubumbe oes not match reality!1 I am about 6 below! Can you help me??

  • The counts are still messed up for quite a few people. I have attempted to contact YouTube about it, but it will be pointless for about a week (people on vacation).

  • yo atomic actually the bug isint fixed anymore... u can still do the unsub/resub trick and it only goes up once then goes down as many times as you want

  • I don't know what's going on. Everytime I test it now, the subscriptions are working fine. But then, I am noticing my count and others going wacky. I really don't know what's going on or what the cause of it is just yet.

  • Thank you, William! I'll check back!

  • I would'ev had fun with that bug! lol! good job.

  • Wow! Amazing! I've been missing a lot! So, it's fixed now?

  • Yes, the bug is fixed

  • How come you got related to that bug?

  • I found the bug weeks prior. I started asking around to get emails for YouTube staff since the ones I had only gave me automated replies. I believe that sopmeone has access to one of the YouTube emails, because that is the only place I revealed the bug. As soon as I sent those messages, it started happening to my subscribers... but not me.

  • Weird, but it's solved, that's what matters! Peace!

  • Awesomeness!! I know how hard you've worked to bring about change and I thank you kindly for having faith that YouTube would see the light. And they have. Take care budd. Dan =:D

  • they fixed it XD

  • The more people who know about this better. what happens is it becomes a big enough pain in the ass for YT to have to fix it, instead of ignore you like they have done.

  • thx!!!!

  • hey i lost like20 of my friends from this damn bug

  • Thanks! HarOLD

  • Lol you sounds like a robot....ä. .ää... ää... 5 stars although I do not understand a word. I come from Germany

  • this isn't that big of a deal, except that no one seems to be getting that it doesn't actually delete your subscribers.

  • and i really don't get your logic in telling us all this

  • So that it gets fixed... now it's fixed. LOGIC!!!

  • if it only changes the count number, who cares?

    "oh no, an inconsequential bug!!!"

  • Subscriptions are being restored, starting with the people with the highest numbers right now.

  • WOW !!!!

    nice work

  • I see people getting subscriber counts back, but mine still has not been fixed...

  • I just checked your channel, It is now

  • Yeah, it looks like they fixed them by order of most subscribers. Or that's what I'm guessing...

  • i got all 340 of mine bak today!!!!

  • MY FRIEND FANTIKERZ FIGURED WHO DOES THIS IT'S zerg144

    homelessboy and terranitup1 even more!! look on there profiles

  • i got a comment saying i was owned and that thay took my subscribers and this person is a stalker of mine from myspace.

  • Me too. Nothing but automated messages two days ago.

  • karinamac13 has this bug too!!!!!!

  • Thank You for posting this video... I featured it on my page.

  • doesn't seem to work teh other way around tho

  • Strange goings on, on YouTube.. :(

  • YouTube also needs to fix another problem: The creation of fake or dummy accounts with the sole purpose to spamming videos. One solution might be one YT account per e-mail address and/or one account per IP address. That way we would know who the user is when he/she writes what they write. No more hiding behind anonymity. If they want to write something negative, sexist, hateful, fine just back up your views with your real identity.

  • ah, thank you- this is so informative!

  • You forgot to say "you know" = )

  • ahahaha yo, shut it, you know?

  • A little bitch just hit me with it but I was kinda hoping for that as it allowed me to figure out a theory on how to catch out those who use the bug on you.

    Turn on subscriber notification and cross check the people who subscribed to you with the people they're subbed to, and you can figure out who did it to you.

    with that they're literaly at your mercy for you to rip into

  • theres so many other things they need to fix too.

  • Renetto, Lisanova, and Daxflame were all losing subs.. now they are back to normal but no one else is fixed yet.. YouTube needs to stop being such dumbasses..

  • Sweet robot voice.

  • Thx So much I was wondering what was going on.

  • tanx man good job

  • hhahaah comment

  • o noez, people can't see how many subscribers i have, i must go cut myself

  • Someone hacked me today. It's so stupid. Like I care whether people know how many subscribers I have.

  • you can do these even faster: click unsubscribe, click back button, click unsubscribe, click back button, repeat until 0 - let's try it on Lisa Nova's channel

  • pretty cool. really bad programming. I agree, youtube will fix this, but maybe only after enough abuse brings it to their attention. that's the real roadblock, actually getting someone who can put it in the defect queue. GET LISA NOVA!!!!!! while you can.

  • Yeah, I was unsubscribed to a video also.

  • i don't think it's a youtube bug. it's that anonymous user and his friends hacking youtube users!

  • 4chan . org is responsible for the subscription bug where it shows people only have 1 subscrber when they really have alot. They just subscribe and unsuscribe and it exploits a bug where the person loses a subscriber each time. They call themselves anynomous and they have like 5 different sites 4chan . org 7chan 420chan . They attack popular youtubers with hate/spam/hacks/phising sites/messages and more. they call themselves hackers but hey are mostly emo internet kids

  • smosh got the bug!!!!!

  • Good job finding this, but honestly anyone who would get upset about this bug should sell their camera and computer and try to get a life. Your subscriber count is meaningless.

  • maybe everyone just quit...

  • i dont think thse guys know who bil and doug are, these people are non-wrestling fans lol

  • This guy must be ghey!

  • Winky395: Hahaha... How funny :')

  • yeah becouse that everybody today talk about on youtube this video comes to be the most popular becouse this, not becouse that, not yesterday, either tomorrow, right here, right now

  • a few weeks now and they still haven't done anything.

    A little script problem and they cant fix it, so much for a billion dollar company.

    Why does it take weeks for YouTube to do anything.

  • I got TEH Bugged also.

  • Damien says it might be fixed by Wednesday.

  • vidguy007: Thanks for the info. I suggest that everybody just go about your normal YouTube activities at this point. There is no need to worry about it, HAVE FUN.

  • 4chan and 7chan . org are the sites that are the main contributors to using this method to lower the subscribers. Check them out if you don't believe me. They are always talking about on their /b/ section.

  • how is it fixed... i had 300 subs now they are gone

  • I Saw That Daxflame Got Hit.........

  • I made a video naming the people who have done this to me and my friends not sure if thats allowed, but its a dedication to the stupid people who are going around exploiting this bug.

    Thankyou for speaking out again!

  • 4chan . org they are really horrible people

  • 4 chan is the one that exposes it they are anonymous and they have tons of boards and sites they are crafrty and malicous

  • AtomicUs5000, aka William, thanks for bringing this bug to our attention. Daxflame and lonelygirl15 have had their subscribers "deleted," and LisaNova comments on it on her profile page. Perhaps now something will finally be done, since it's affected some of the most visible YouTubers. Whoever is doing this crap needs to get a life, or lives in case it's more than one person behind the shenanigans.

  • wowzers!

  • ha, that's nothing, I got drained of 990 subscriptions. Dude, you need to call this thing the 'SUB BUG' That's what I'm calling it. I think it's funny

  • Thanks for this... I overreacted, panicked, and bought into the hysteria! Someone hit me with an "Anonymous Hacker" message, and then booya, all (15) my subs were gone. Of course I went into panic mode. Sigh. I need to make a vid of me getting kicked in the balls for this one. Thanks for explaining it to us.

  • DaxFlame has it too.

    i looked at his subs earlier and it said ZERO!

    i know, omg right.

  • Thankyou for this! Glad you did show us.5/5

  • Excellent info video. 5/5

  • I got on and was like hmmm.....I had 21000 now I have 16999...weird lol

    I'm glad you made this video.

  • im a victimmmmmmm noooooo

  • lol i dont really care about the bug i only have 2 subscribers anyway lol

  • Im friends with Rj, i was worried too. Thanks.

  • i got zero sub now...coz the biggest hater of this video is on attack to those close to AtomicUs5000.

  • Thank you man! I was a bit worried.

  • Hello AtomicUs5000 ...Jinxie sent me. My channel says I have 71 subscribers BUT I have 78 !!! Well done for spotting this " bug". Im sure youtube wil fix the melborp ; ) lol

    Billy.....

  • geez I only got 14 to start with cant afford to lose any I love them all sooo much! Will put your video in my vlog. Hope your count gets sorted out soon. Hugs for you

  • thankyuo for the warn.. but you made more people do it.. i have no more anymore. half my friends have 0 and half the people who do it got the steps from you.. i tried it once on my alternative profile and it worked. so its good and its bad.

  • atomic one more question... when this DOES get fixed will the count go back to how it SHOULD be before we lost them all?

    or will it pick up from where it is now (hope not!)

  • Yes, the counts will be fixed, and everybody should see that even had more than they thought! Unless you were one to actually count by going to "my account", you could have been wrong in how many subs you actually had to begin with.

  • i have the same headset as you!

  • It's nice, isn't it? A little too good at times.

  • Had 1504 subs, now down to 964. Thanks for making this video. It was reassuring to me because I feel like I'm not the only one. If YT gets their act together and does something about it, it seems it can be fixed.

  • I LOST 50 FREAKIN SUBSCRIBERSSS! i'm so pissed!

  • From lisanova's channel:

    "Also, I'm aware of the bug. Youtube is fixing the problem and everyones subscribers will be returned soon. The people using it are wasting their time."

  • But if this bug has been here all along, people could have a lot more subscribers than they actually think, because that number's really all we have to go on.

  • You are very right. When I first discoverd it I had found that just about everybody's sub counts were wrong.

  • one good thing about the bug...it keeps the trolls and sockpuppets pre-occupied in meaningless activities instead of actively spamming and 1-starring everybody. since the person getting hit can still see all of their subscribers, even though we can't, and their standings in the overall rankings aren't affected, it's truely a complete waste of time. it's time to ignore them along with the bug and just move on...

  • Shucks! I lost my 18 subscribers! Wha!!!!!!

  • renetto my target is renetto lets go people we have a legitm target

  • dude this sucks!!!!! i lost my suscribers and my friends!

  • i lost 40 subs overnite. wtf! glad someone sent this to me... thanks for making the video.

  • I got that stupid bug yesterday. I had around 330 subscribers, I got the count to go up a a little bit, but yea. It still took down my subscribers count.

  • So I cant post on your channel . Hmmm My Friend

  • That's weird all my friends aer supposed to be able to. I checked my list, you are in it! You know what? I'll just reopen it to everybody.

  • I just tryed again and it says Authorization error. :shrug:

  • Very odd. Because I had it set for friends only. And now I have it set for everyone again! Crappy YouTube.

  • Ill Tey again .

  • Nope same result , I guess somhow I got blocked from posting on your channel but If I block someone they cant post on my vids also though it is two differant settings .

  • uncledave10: Nope, same happens to me most of the time, don't know why... I just try again later and it works...

  • Oh OK Thanks Karla , I have been abel to post on other freinds channels . :o)

  • Dude.  You talk a lot.

  • BillyJulio: I figured I had to at least make people work to hear the bug. I have found that most abusive people have short attention spans and would give up watching, leaving the bug known to mostly intelligent, moral people.

  • lol....I feel ya man. By the way, it works....lol

  • lol... well, I don;t know what you mean by that. So I have to ask if you watched it all the through or not! lmao

  • Oh, yeah...I watched it all the way through. And I mean that the bug works...lol

  • atomic i need you now... i just like 300 in like an hour wtf!

  • lost**

  • I tried this a couple of days ago on my other account and it was as you said. Just tried it AGAIN and today it isn't doing it. I even got 2 emails when I re-subbed...which never used to happen.

  • positivesue: Nice! Means they are starting work on it. I will check in a little bit to verify.

  • positivesue: we tested this and the bug is still there, with no emails. Maybe you happened to catch a time when they were testing. I'll check again tomorrow.

  • you're right....just tried again and it didn't go back up. ...that's weird....how can it change just in a matter of minutes?

  • Just discovered something. The time it worked properly was when I unsubbed and re-subbed to THIS account...when I do it the other way round, that is when the number doesn't go back up....so it must mean it doesn't happen on ALL accounts

  • Well, it could mean that the update is gradually happening as to not slow the site down. Let's give it some time.

  • I tested the bug, and it definitely works. There's an interesting side effect, though, that no-one may have noticed yet. For every subscribe/unsubscribe that you do, it also reduces your own subscription count by one. Interesting...

    Moosie

  • im one of them! IT SUCKS i havnt suscribed to anyone and i have it, do u know how it got to me? message me back thanx

  • listen more carefully to the video.

  • Hello, I have written this little script to automate the process. It's little messy, but works. Enjoy.

    sweb(dot)cz(slash)addiam(slash­)subscription_nuller(dot)htm

  • You don't need scripts. Just a macro would be fine.

  • Browser macro? Whatever. But I must point out that it IS permanent. Recovering all subscription counts would mean MASSIVE database selection for every user. Youtube will not do it.
