1 million people have now officially subscribed to this YouTube channel. But Jack!
You only have seven hundred and seventy thousand
Subscribers. Yes. Thank you me with glasses. I am aware. Take your sunglasses off you're inside
You look like an idiot, but I'm not joking 1 million people have subscribed to this channel
look subscribers gains 1 million thirteen thousand one hundred and sixty.
The only issue is two hundred forty-four thousand people have also unsubscribe for me.
Now, I get it. That looks bad.
But I promise you this is completely normal and any other youtuber with several hundred thousand subscribers who's been doing videos for several years
They all have similar stats, they could be slightly worse. They could be slightly better. We're in my analytics my lifetime
So, this is March 2013 to May 2019
If you want to view this page yourself
You obviously you have to set to lifetime or whatever range you like and then you go down to interaction reports you click on subscribers
250,000 people! How many people is that? This many people saw my videos in their sub books and they were like
But anyway in this video we're gonna try and determine why is it two hundred and fifty thousand people has unsubscribe from me
But let me just break down a generalization
I've done this for six years now in 2013 2014 the main thing I uploaded were minecraft mod showcases
So just imagine it's 2013 and you've just stumbled upon the alien vs. Predator
Minecraft mod uploaded by a little fella called Jax sucks at Minecraft
You click subscribe you watch a few of his videos many years go by it kind of goes out your memory
You're doing other things you've moved on from Minecraft five years later
You're stumbling through your sub feed and you see a video uploaded with lick on my balls in the thumbnail. That's an unsubscribe
So if we look at this, this is my lifetime
This is how many subscribers I gained every single day since 2013 and this is so interesting to look at
So right here this little peak
I think this is when I did a collab with Lauren Z side during harmony Hollow and I can remember being so excited
That we'd gain over a thousand subscribers in one day of the first time
But then if we cooked to the end of 2018 we gained
7600 subscribers and I think this one was when I let a random guy at my video went viral
Jump a couple of months we gained
9000 subscribers
two days running that was and that was when I let 10
Kids at my video went super viral and then just a couple of weeks ago
This little peak here is from when the Berry versus Larry video went viral as well
So these are interesting to look at like you've just seen I kind of know what these Peaks are caused by but what we're doing
Is we're clicking on the subscribers lost tub, but you can see we have the same peak started about saw on this specific day
We lost
600 subscribers out of the blue
So what we're gonna do in this video is we're gonna scroll back to this date and we're gonna see if we can work out
What I know if I did wrong
Why did 600 individual people unsubscribe from me that day you can see either?
Fifty nine thousand people unsubscribe from me on an actual YouTube watch page. So this is what a watch pages they saw this video
They unsubscribe
So another example of a reason why someone might unsubscribe imagine you're one of the nine
Thousand people that subscribed to me because I let 10 kids edit my video or popped up and you recommended.
Imagine then two days later
I upload minecraft one life SMP episode 43 that kind of video would put a lot of people who aren't into Minecraft, that would put
Them off and they would unsubscribe right then.
So I imagine we gained and then lost a lot of subscribers during that time.
700 people
unsubscribed for me when they weren't even on my youtube channel
what the hell I could only assume that that means they must have seen me in someone else's related channels and then
Unsubscribed at that point. (High Pitched voice) That is so mean! 19 thousand of the subscribers
We lost were simply because the accounts got closed that makes me feel slightly better.
I want to find out what caused-
303 people to unsubscribe back in 2015 and I think this might be the only one. I know I might be wrong.
But I think this is the day I changed my YouTube channel name from Jack sucks at
Minecraft - Jack sucks at life. It was called why is
Everything different. If this is the day I'm gonna be pleased right? Here it is here. It is three years ago
okay, if we just watch this for a sec-
WHY IS EVERYTHING DIFFERENT!!!
I rerounded myself yesterday and I no longer just suck at Minecraft, I suck at life.
I also suck at using the correct microphone apparently, hahahaha comedy
Okay, I'm gonna be sad if I've got this wrong now, but it needs to be the 9th of November 2015
This was uploaded on the 8th of November. So same thing
So those 300 people perhaps thought that I wasn't going to upload anymore minecraft and apparently those 300 people liked minecraft
So they unsubscribe for me a year later in 2016
We lost 300 subscribe which was a lot more than our kind of normal average, by the way
We lose a lot of subscribers every day. It's sad to see well if you look on my social blade, we're not losing subscribers
We're gaining more subscribers than we're losing every day. So we went up by 300
We probably lost like 200 that day which means 500 people subscribed to us
Lots of channels do ends up with negative days. I have like a couple of times
It's just about finding the right spot in the algorithm. Basically that's not easy to do
Anyway, it's time to find out what happened on this day at the 27th of May
2016 so there's probably a more efficient way to do this, but I am just going to scroll back through my videos
Oh, I've just found what it is. It was the day
I released my quitting YouTube video which I've since privated, of course that makes so much sense
So a few of you'll remember many of you won't- I'm way to old for (inaudible)
I'm afraid this is not click bait-
This is click bait, but it's legitimate click bait, but I am indeed quitting YouTube, but this isn't my final video
So please watch the whole thing to understand what's happening
So be so melodramatic Jack. Basically June 2016, many of you know this already, YouTube wasn't really doing that great
It was getting around a million views a month
And so it was kind of at a point where YouTube wasn't so hot
I did have some money saved up and Becky also had some money saved up so Becky and I nipped off to Australia for six
Months we had a great time. So obviously this was me announcing that I wasn't really gonna be uploading videos full-time anymore
But then I came back six months later and I was very lucky that we managed to pick things back up and off we went
So it's quite interesting
Here we go from losing like just under 100 subscribers a day to lose in like 200 subscribers a day
And I'm not really sure what that was
I'm wondering if maybe I started uploading a lot more variety
Content rather than just minecraft everyday cuz it is definitely at a significant increase and then an increase that remains
Consistent or we need to look into what happened this day, but I think we need to go back to Christmas
2017. Kai! Cue some Christmas music. Alright, so late note. This was harmony Hollow week right here
We've got a hacker trolling video if we scroll further back thought we've got minecraft minecraft' minecraft
Minecraft minecraft minecraft a minecraft related video minecraft minecraft minecraft. It's basically all minecraft
So let's go to December and see if I started mixing things up a bit more
They stay here is when we start losing a lot more subs. So this is when I was doing these videos
Amazon echo or decides
how long to ban minecraft hackers. This god decides how long to ban minecraft (my
hackers (crackers). They were getting a lot of views as you can see
I think this increase is like what I said earlier people subscribed because without one video that was recommended to them
But then they soon realized a few days later that they weren't really interested in the rest of my daily content
But I assume if you subscribe because of a one-off funny hacker trolling video
You're not gonna be interested in episode 53 of harmony Hollow
Are ya? And as I said earlier that just kind of remains consistent the whole time. That's quite sad. Not actually sad
This is just something that happens when your a youtuber. Right we need to look at this
This is our biggest peak of all time at this point 20th of April 2018. I have no idea what this was
I don't know what caused so many unsubscribes on this day
So we applauded using Fiverr to promote my minecraft server on that day
That was our first ever fiver video and I did many since and they became some of my most well known unliked videos
But those 600 people unsubscribed on that day. This might be completely wrong
Perhaps they were religious like they were perhaps strong Christians and they didn't like the fact that j-dog was imitating Jesus
I literally could be completely off with that and it might be something completely different
but when we look at the other videos that were released around that time that is the only thing that I can assume people might
Not like that how many hallo videos and there's nothing else that I was releasing around that time. That was unusual
Oh, why did this get copyright claims out?
700,000 views. Oh that is such money that I missed out on! On the 12th of December 2018 nearly
1000 people and unsubscribed to us in one day. That's a lot.
I don't remember being a negative though, I kind of want to see how many subs we gain that day. Take it off the graph
As well when it changes, let's find out. Okay, it is kind of similar
they've got the same kind of Peaks. No way the twelve the twelfth, 2018 we gained and lost the same amount of
Subscribers, so that must have been a zero day and you see just a few days before that
We gained eight thousand subscribers in one day
So I'm assuming the unsub's were from people that changed their mind, but it is quite substantial
So let's go back to that specific day
So we have to remember this was my most on the unsubscribed day ever
So you'd think something substantial would have happened but there isn't really anything on the 10th
We have reacting to a kid reacting to me reacting to Jesus dancing. So you could argue
It's some people being offended by Jesus, but I would assume
Not you know what I've just thought so many of you have probably commented this already
It was probably a sub purge these two here. They were definitely something that I did wrong
but to be fair this one and this one they were probably
Sub purges which I just completely forgot were a thing that happened. You know, we've had
16,000 closed accounts that's 16,000 sub purges isn't it?
I wonder if actually I can click on this date and we should be able to find out closed accounts
I have been doing this completely wrong. I'm so sorry the day that I released the Fiverr video 59 accounts were closed, but
172 people did unsubscribe from me from the YouTube watch page. So my theory potentially lines up, right?
There's two more to look at so let's see if we can work this out quickly 300 people unsubscribe to from the watch page
So this is the 6th of February. What did I upload on the 6th of February this year? That was potentially slightly controversial. Ok?
We released two videos on the 6th of February. We had using Fiverr to promote my Fortnite
creator code, And we had okay, here's a video for you to edit the one for the big editing challenge
I guess 200 people did not want to edit that video
That's fine could be potentially the fact that it was a double upload day and people that didn't really watch me anymore
But were still subscribed. They didn't like the sub feed being spammed. That's the only thing that we could really go on there
Alright, let's go over the final one. So this was most recent
This was just last month the video that we've loaded though
the 18th of April was dreadful adverts that I'm sorry exist which have quite a questionable thumbnail and honestly,
I think it's the thumbnail that scared those people off.
I would bet on that being the reason I honestly would. We can't ask them because they've bloody nicked off and they're no longer watching
But there we go. That is our entire subscriber history 1 million subscribers against 244 thousand subscribers lost
Hopefully you did find this interesting
It was interesting for me and also really easy to get a good title out of thanks so much for watching if you want me
To do more videos where we go through our analytics
Let me know in the comments because there's a lot of really interesting
data out there
