      A lot of Youtube channels are reporting declining viewership lately.

      EX1: https://youtube.com/watch?v=cpVnx4_yqTo
      EX2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yF0tmhEtVJE

      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 just don't get suggested his content anymore. Then again I just found out every channel I've ever subscribed to is under a seperate category and usually not under the main YouTube page..

              Basically I'm blocking every channel I've subscribed to without ever realising..

                  Maybe post actually interesting content instead of pumping out a bunch of variations of the same video about building yet another PC on a dozen of channels. After the whole drama about video quality we got a few more citations but the overall video quality got worse. And then 1/3 videos are paid as if Linus weren't a multi millionaire. Realize it LTT sucks.

                    I guess the point is channels are seeing a dropping viewership across the board. Or at least two different creators of VERY different videos have had the same experience so far. And the reddit thread behind this has more people (assuming they are telling the truth) confirming the drop.

                      Tldr Linus brushed off another tech YouTuber at an event and that tech YouTuber does a podcast with this guy to make drama about nothing.

                        "I'm having a very difficult time wrapping my head around that it is possible that there has been no change whatsoever to how our videos are being served."

                        Honestly I think that's it. Technology has changed. My interests have shifted. They're not relevant to me.

                        I would argue their quality of content has dropped a fair bit, their click bait makes it impossible to know what the videos are actually about, or their space is too saturated, but those are only small pieces to the larger picture. I don't watch because I don't want to anymore.

                          That's a weird way of describing Linus being shown to be a narcissistic thundercunt, in exquisite detail, with receipts.

                            Like doing what? All I see is the most bias video about nothing for an hour long. He is this bias and that's the worst stuff he can find? I've taken dumps that were more offensive. Compared to any other person in the news and this is milk toast bland.

                              It's insane he ever had a healthy viewership in the first place.

                                It seems like YouTube is doing something where they don't consider views to be actual "views" anymore. I saw one creator reporting that you only get credit as a view if you also leave a comment on the video because I guess Google thinks this will somehow hamper bots? Sounds like a bunch of bullshit no matter how you look at it. Personally I think Google is just trying to avoid paying creators so they're only crediting them for a fraction of the views they get, but you just know they're charging those advertisers for every single view whether they're paying the creators or not.

                                  What would make me really happy is if viewership across YouTube entirely was down because people were getting fed up with YouTube and shifting to alternatives.

                                    It's a detailed account of Linus being awful, his heavy usage of DARVO whenever called out for shit behavior.

                                    I won't summarize, as Louis has receipts for all of it.

                                    I suspect that Linus and Mr. Beast have an identical capacity for empathy.

                                      Maybe YT has started to be more aggressive towards viewbots like Twitch? Or has changed something in the algorithm (again) and fucked up (again).

                                        I just don't get suggested his content anymore. Then again I just found out every channel I've ever subscribed to is under a seperate category and usually not under the main YouTube page..

                                        Basically I'm blocking every channel I've subscribed to without ever realising..

                                        I have to go to my subscribed channels just to see what they’ve posted now. YT definitely changed up their algorithm and it’s useless for me now. It doesn’t present anything I’m interested in.

                                          It seems like YouTube is doing something where they don't consider views to be actual "views" anymore. I saw one creator reporting that you only get credit as a view if you also leave a comment on the video because I guess Google thinks this will somehow hamper bots? Sounds like a bunch of bullshit no matter how you look at it. Personally I think Google is just trying to avoid paying creators so they're only crediting them for a fraction of the views they get, but you just know they're charging those advertisers for every single view whether they're paying the creators or not.

                                          What a moronic move. I almost never post comments but I watch plenty of content.
