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 regularly watch hour+ videos, and there's quite a few 10+ hour videos I've enjoyed. Just gotta find the right people.

    Super deep dive into games and their lore mostly, although the super long ones tend to be named like, 'a quick retrospective of game'

    I watch a huge range, from 100 subs to 20m. I've spent years making a decent sub list to watch so I avoid most issues about trash content.

    Fair enough, I use mine as basically a replacement for any other streaming platform, so it's more about entertainment than raw usefulness.

    My sub list is ever growing, at about 150 now. I don't watch a lot of what's put out by them but that's where I start when I want to watch something. The main YouTube feed is... Unreliable at best
