I've said it before and I'll say it again, the whole YouTube bell icon thing on top of subscribing is ridiculous. I virtually lost over 95% of the subscribers Twisted4kStudios has been garnishing over the last 7 years or so simply because of its implementation. The last few videos I published that went viral were not because of them, but rather the fact that they started trending and appearing in people's suggested videos. When you have a video with its own original topic that's not correlated with anything that people are actively watching, your only realistic bet on the ones who will view it are your subscribers. And it's a little difficult to notify them of its existence when the website refuses to notify them. If YouTube wanted to have the bell thing, it would have been nice if they had it on by default for all of the channels users were already subscribed to. It's almost like being subscribed to a magazine, and then after a few months you realize you haven't gotten anything from them because the company thought you weren't reading them. It's completely crazy, but then again, it's YouTube, what can you really expect?
What an absolute shame. In short, it looks like I will have to rebuild my little empire. And I have a few tricks up my sleeves.
Take care.
