Ah, YouTube subscribers. You've worked so hard to get them, and now you're about to lose them.
YouTube announced on its Creator Blog that it will remove suspended accounts in an effort to give content creators a better understanding of their actual audience.

"It’s extremely important to us that these numbers stay meaningful, so that you can be sure that when your sub count grows, it’s because you’re building a community of real fans who are going to keep watching and supporting you."
These accounts will be removed as of June 16th, so enjoy your subscriber count while it lasts.
