Do you own a You Tube channel? Are you stuck with with subscribers that no longer tune in? We’ve got good news for you.
Effective June 16, 2014, You Tube will remove suspended accounts from all channels’ counts. You will probably see a decline, a slight one or even a moderate one, it’s nothing to panic about. They’re not active users anyway. They expect to have an automatic system to remove the suspended accounts from active subscriber accounts. If an error or mistake happens, the system is reversible to rectify the mistake.? The overall goal is to prevent spam, hacking, cyber theft and other abuses coming through this medium.
I think this is a wonderful step to prevent abuse through You Tube. But I do have a few questions. What if someone’s account isn’t suspended, but just hasn’t uploaded a video on a channel in a long time and never unsubscribed to that channel? And what about channels that no longer exist? I know of some channels that are no longer active, but yet are still floating around. Can’t a spammer, hacker or someone else with bad intentions take advantage of unused channels? I’ve always been a huge You Tube fan and always will be. Often times, I consider it a refuge from some of this madness that passes for pop culture today. But does more need to done to stop potential You Tube abuse?
