YouTube is not supposed to show the subscribe button on channels whose users have already subscribed to. It shows up once in a while, but now it floods the entire main page. Unsubscribing and resubscribing helps... until the subscribe button reappears on channels you've resubscribed to. This is really an issue. Unsubscribing and resubscribing to topics you've already subscribed to doesn't fix it. Soon, Adobe will be discontinuing Flash which means YouTube needs to update their video player.

YouTube has dumped Flash in favor of HTML5 for its default web player since 2015.

This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects. <Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits <adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.

Yes it is. Unless you mean it's not meant to be displaying the word "Subscribe" instead of "Unsubscribe" then it's dependent on the user and a 1 in a million, or the chance you're browsing their content subscribed and have 50 million tabs open. Also always important, update your browser. This kind of hits hard the fact with you believing YouTube is still using Flash. (Yes, there are Add-Ons that do this but still to the fact) YouTube actually fixed a bigger subscription bug last month iirc. I noticed channels I was subbed to but thought all they stopped uploading content when their last upload was literally a day ago. (SO MUCH CONTENT TO CATCH UP ON) And an actual bug YouTube had was automatically subscribing you to channels. There were a handful of channels I was unsubbed from about a year or so ago and suddenly their content was back on my feed. There was also a single channel I knew I was definitely never subscribed to in the first place. Then again I am saying this whilst being part of YouTube since 2008.

Every video website is going to or have abandoned flash altogether. I wonder how it's gonna affect Newgrounds.

Imagine changing the topic and not bothering to attempt a Google Search that answers your question. https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1424896
