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 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.
