Some of those could be old subscribers just potentially unsubbing from you channel which unfortunately is just part of the course of being a Youtuber, and potentially some of it could come from YouTube removing old / ghost accounts or subscribers from your channel as they often do. What I would suggest is trying not to let it get you down as this is all just a part of being a YouTuber you are not guaranteed a continual success there will be some ups and downs regarding subs / views

Try to keep your chin up man, I have gone through it before, I remember I nearly hit 70 subs and then out of nowhere went back down to 58, just don`t give up and keep doing what you do :)

If you're getting bummed out about losing 5 subs, then you're in for a rough time ahead. YouTube is a roller-coaster for most people. It's just something you'll have to learn to accept.

Never look at the subs you lose. 5 subs may seem like a lot at your level but what if you had 10000 subs. 5 would be a small number. I always look at views more than subs. Just keep making videos. Don't quit

Subscribers aren't important in the small channel realm. You need to focus on making stuff that gets noticed organically and that will build up the subscriber base that you'll want to have a viewership return that can translate into a steady viewer stream that results in good earnings, sharing, and continued growth without having to worry so much about intentionally making high-return content.

Short - Make stuff that gets seen, regular doesn't cut it. It'll work in your favor later.

I know the feeling and i know it can be demotivating but in the end its views that matter. More subscribers usually mean more views but this isnt always the case.

Just bring out more videos you enjoy recording and im sure youll regain your subs :)

Nothing to really worry about there as it is stated as many chyannels have this issue if not all. I know I have, but for me I can say it was my fault as I kept taking big chunks of time off from making videos, well I used to. I plan on doing more vids constantly from now on though.

But in your case or for anyone it can be a totaly different reason and may be hard to figure out why subs left. One thing to do if you think it is a real issue is to try and figure out what you where doing when your subs were staying steady or going up verses what you are doing now and see if its something that you changed that may be the reason. Heck even something small can be a reason i.e. not laughing like one used to in their older videos may be all that it takes to lose some subs if that was something that caught their attention that made them want to sub to you.

I wouldn't sweat it.

I've hovered around the same number for month. Gain a few, lose a few. It's part of the game.

I don't sweat the subs, I pay more attention to views and time spent in the channel, these are more important to me. If your views are going up, even if slowly, that's good. Not everyone is going to sub your channel, but they may spend time watching nonetheless.

Harsh as it may sound but there is nothing you can do about this as Subs come and go. I have been going from 465 to 475 back and forth for a couple weeks now, Keep your head high and continue with your passion to create content and then your number will go back up in time ;)
