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 always hated his "oh no i hope i don't drop this expensive thing that you peasants can hardly afford... Oh i dropped it' schtick. People cheered him on like aome village idiot. At some point he said he feels like he's pushing expensive unnecessary stuff to people who can hardly afford it and he wants to stop doing it. But he never did. He's doing tech reviews and i assume a podcast, because everyone has a podcast, and his studio is ABSURD. I watched some other video where they needed something from the LTT studio and they even commented on how fucking big his operation is. He had rooms there he didn't even know existed. I stick to the opinion that he's just a slimy rick man, nothing else.

    Would it be any better if he's black?
    Why racially profile if it doesnt matter?

    Edit: I like how I am getting downvoted for asking why the mentioned skin color is of any importance.
    If a dude or dudette is a rich asshole it doesnt matter if they are yellow, white, black or green. Asshole stays asshole.

    sounds like he got Lazy and just let his, lower- level plebs manage the channels where he just comes in and "promote" product and leaves kind of person. i was subscribed to another channel that did that, they just wanted to "not be present" while channel is declining because its still doing well, now its not doing well(they had several issue arise that caused it.) no interest in change with the times.
