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?

It's actually worse than that.

He does know some stuff about technology and his team knows the stuff that he maybe doesn't know.

But in the fight with GamersNexus Linus basically admitted that they don't have time to properly fact check stuff because they would make less money if they released less videos.

    That's from way back when. They shut production for a week, reassessed how they make things, and came back with the promise to be more thorough and not release a video when it's just not done that day. And they have "missed" some days since.
