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?
Oh, so that is why Veritasium went to shit. That’s such a shame. It was a great channel that I was excited about when a new video would drop. Then low quality videos started coming out and I don’t watch them anymore. Haven’t unsubscribe yet though, maybe I should get around to that.
Honestly The PFAS and Monsanto videos were quite good in my opinion.
Maybe I should give the channel another chance. There was a noticeable shift in quality on the channel, but maybe they course corrected since then.
What is it you don’t like about Veritasium lately?
It was a while ago that I noticed the decline in quality, they may have course corrected since then. But there was a point in time where videos had a very sudden and noticable drop in quality. I forget which video it was, but I wasn’t the only one that noticed it.
I’m not a regular viewer, so I can’t know if there was or wasn’t a drop of quality at an unspecified time. If there was, hope they got better.
I’m not the other person but my reason is I feel they’re faux-intellectual videos that mostly serve to confuse people and muddy issues. A bit of an embarrassment to science, cloaking their tomfoolery in faux-surprise and scripted wonder.
Can you give an example for me to better understand your claim?
