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?

AI slop most likely. Well, to be serious, I think the drop is due to them trying to fight AI slop and miserably failing.
