YouTube Help not being notified about new subscribers

[McCloud94]

I have this option turned ON in the settings.

And with some new subscribers, I do get both the notification as well as an email.

But with some, I don't - I only notice if I look at the subscriber count of my channel.

Why is this?
Anyone experiencing the same?

Yes I have come across this also I think it depends on whether or not the subscriber has privacy activated on there account or not!!

You will only get notifications from subscribers who make their subscription list public, otherwise they will be Private and you won't see them on the list, either
