Comment 2 for bug 2043519

"As for upgrades under ~/snap/freetube , you will find two folders common and current, these folders store your app configs, preferences etc. and they aren't affected by app upgrades/revision changes as they are accesible to all revisions usually."

I beg to differ.

"current" is a symbolic link to the <version> folder (currently 25 for FreeTube). It is in this folder that the users subs and history are stored. So when version 25 of the snap is removed, this folder is being removed (although backed up as already mentioned). I only installed FreeTube a week or two ago when YouTube started blocking AdBlockers, and until this issue, I never made any changes or modifications to FreeTubes folders or file. I honestly didn't even know much about how snaps work at all. I also didn't tell snap to remove user data when removing the snap. So I still think there is an end-user usability/expectations issue here, but until such time as you release a version 26 I won't know if it is just for remove/install cycles, or if it is also an issue for updates.

Thanks for responding so quick anyway.
