Fun times. Looks like a lot of channels are seeing a decline not just Linus. Hes just the latest to talk about it.

Then I saw this article as well and thought I would share.

Anyone here youtube creators? Are you seeing the same thing, a general downturn in viewership?

    I have definitely unsubscribed from some big channels that I used to watch routinely, and simply often don’t click on videos from channels I haven’t yet unsubscribed from. It’s just not interesting stuff. It’s filler crap. thankfully it seems like there are enough smaller channels to fill that space, including some of the people originally from those other ones (like speed and donut)
