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?

People are jumping the gun on Linus here, but it's real, the Second Wind crew do a great job and their recent videos, even the Fully Ramblomatic series are doing way worse.

It really does seem to be a platform change unrelated to content or audience sentiment, people on this platform just love an opportunity to hate on certain people. The amount of hatred on display here is gross, tbh.

I stopped watching Second Wind after Frost's video.

Did they ever address it?

[–] arararagi@ani.social 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No, and considering the timeline, it's not because of it.

I don't think their recent drop is because of that video. Just personally curious, whether I should try to watch again as I did enjoy some of their output.

But if Nick leaves it unaddressed I guess I won't.
