Crazy Subscriber Drop Off on Good Mythical Summer Days of Posting

I like to keep up with the subscriber count information on Rhett and Link to see how they are doing on a daily basis.  According to the data I have been checking on https://vidstatsx.com/rhettandlink2/youtube-channel, every day that the guys post since they switched to Good Mythical Summer has shown a strange number of people unsubscribing for about four hours between 5:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. on each of those days.  To see how the previous day went, you have to check the stats on the day following (i.e. check on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday).  When you check the actual video "likes" versus "dislikes," however, the videos seem to be rather popular with those who actually watch them.  Does anyone know what is going on?  on the days they don't post, there are more people subscribing and there is no strange drop-off.  Are there some "not-so-mythical" mythical beasts thare are unsubscribing and then resubscribing out of protest for them not posting daily?  I certainly hope not since I think it is rather nice of them to give us something during their break for filming Buddy System rather than making us wait for 2 months or so without any new content.

Does anyone have any insight into this strange trend?

Wow, that is so interesting!  I don't have any theories of my own, but your information is quite fascinating!  I think it would be incredibly petty for some to unsubscribe and then resubscribe out of protest, but I spend most of my time on Twitter and people have pretty strong opinions about pretty much EVERYTHING Rhett and Link do.  It is a very...uh...tumultuous place sometimes.

Rhett and Link seem to be about killing themselves to put out content for their fans.  I can't understand all the anger they get about the amount of content they put out.  They listen to their fans more than anyone else I have ever seen.  The way they brought a delayed release of the video of the Ear Biscuits is evidence of that. Though I will admit that I am not crazy about some of the topics they chose to feature on the last two seasons of Good Mythical Morning (potty humor, etc.), a lack of content and effort on their part is certainly not one of my complaints.

I become absolutely overwhelmed just thinking about all they are doing this year! So many new activities! Yeah, the potty humor...well, that's GMM sometimes, I suppose.  I am glad they have other projects in the works with more diverse content.  EB, the book, the Mythical Monthly...the tour...I have great respect and admiration for these two very busy gentlemen.

Yes, they may act like "nuts" sometimes, but they are two very intelligent, hard-working gentlemen.  They have earned everything they have accomplished.  The fact that they support such a large crew in the midst of it all is amazing as well.  They may be one of the top 10 YouTube earners of last year, but I think most of it is poured right back into their business.  In addition, their friendship shines through all of their content and makes it all worthwhile for us to enjoy.  They have a truly unique partnership that I feel privileged to get a peak into every day.

Well said! :)
