This is going to be interesting. Is it going to be more granular for lower numbers? YouTube culture can be so subcriber-centric that I suspect this will do unexpected things to the way people perceive certain creators. https://t.co/GDDV1TGs1s

It feels like we are finally hitting peak social media drama, and it's pretty hard to watch. Think YouTube is taking a step in the right direction here.https://t.co/u6X2zcsOml

Social Blade is a much underrated tool which is surprisingly unknown to many people (in my experience) https://t.co/6Faro7jM09
