A lot of Youtube channels are reporting declining viewership lately.

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 haven’t seen the video yet either, but that’s not bias, that’s Louis Rossmann. He always speaks like that. He’s not a random tech YouTuber. He’s very provocative and holds a cult-like fanbase (though I haven’t watched enough of his to have an opinion whether that’s warranted; I personally don’t like provocative rage content but that seems to be all the rage).

    Also, there’s extensive chaptering with a title for each.

      I haven‘t watched this video either but Rossmann is an extremely pedantic guy who can be extremely biased when talking about things that rub him the wrong way personally. His take about sponsorblock was almost as baffling as Piratesoftware‘s take about SKG and that says something.
