Youtube is subscribing me to random channels
Hey

A few days ago I started to see videos in my sub box from creators who I didnt subscribe to. I have in the past, subscribed to them (willingly) but after about a year I unsubbed. And now they are appearing in my sub box, and I didnt subscribe to them. It shows up as I have subscribed, and it says I have subscribed, but I didnt willingly subscribe to them.

My theory: Youtube wants to fix their channels from dying so they are subbing us to random channels and hope that we are ok with that.

Personally, I dont really care TOO MUCH (I care a little) because I can unsubscribe from them, but this is starting to get annoying. Its happended twice already. Any advice to stop this from happening? Thanks.

I have been having this happen to me myself to. I would get recommendations on my phone to people I never even subbed to because I watched enough of the videos they made I guess.

I have started to notice this aswell
It’s happening to me to, im always being subscribed to youtubers like Jake,Logan,Buzzfeed,Jimmy Kimble live,etc I was always unsubbing to them but for some reason they don’t leave my subscription box. I had solved this however, you’re going to need to subscribe towards tones of youtubers you seem to like I have done this myself and it did not happen again. I don’t know if this will work but you could try it.

youtube is going down with their policy. doing stuff without telling users and only letting them know later on....

Theres no way that youtube subscribing you to random peoples, and all the youtubers don't uploading anything about it. i think it is a virus Dx

I have not used that trash site for a while now so no idea what disgusting trash it has subbed me to, frankly I don't want to know.

Did you go to GiftKeys and allowed them to manage your YouTube account?
Go to your security Checkup and remove GiftKeys and YTAbove as trusted apps
