Problem: some youtube viewers (non-creator generally) claim unsuscription of themselves from various channels they suscribed to. Youtube denies the phenomena exist despite definitely REPEATED proof of single instances. No database-organised, graph-useful data of many users data have been posted on the problem (that I know of).
SOLUTION: make a youtube browser extension that monitors youtube suscriptions changes (suscribing a channel the user did not suscribe, or the FAR more common loss of suscriptions that existed before) of people who installed it to help the youtube union track the glitch.
NEEDED: a browser addon programmer. I know one, but I don't have a budget. I'm pretty sure there are other addon programmers out there, I'm not picky as long as someone gets it done.

EXPECTED RESULT: some 20 or so volunteers use the addon, never unsuscribe intentionally while the addon is active, and soon enough we get some data on the problem --- notably if the unsuscription glitch involves any browser traffic initiated browser side, or as a pure display issue, or if it's more of a youtube-side server issue.
CREATOR BENEFITS:
-keeping all their honest suscribers if the apparent unsuscribe glitch is fixed!
-data proving to youtube to prove the phenomena UNDENIABLY exists.
-Prove it doesn't take 900 suscriptions for the problem to exist
-Discover risk factors for the glitch. Is it a mobile phone thing? Are certain browser addons (notably ad blockers with filter lists potentially edited by a large number of people some of which may be hackers) part of the problem??
-Creators knowing if their suscribers will still count people who were unsuscribed by the glitch (easily tested by adding one channel per volunteer and have them be the only suscriber to it, see what happens after unsuscribe glitch if possible)
-PROCESS TRANSPARENCY. The greater transparency, the less chance creators waste effort where it's ineffective, or fail to see a honest, predictably stable opportunity.
P.S.: as far as I know, youtube denies the problem and I'm still unsuscribed frequently from [two non-mainstream political channels, whose names are not relevant], while [two mainsteam media channels, whose name are not relevant] are never affected. I re-suscribe today and hope it sticks for a week at least this time!!
