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?

YouTube only shows me like 12 channels. I miss variety.

Because of short videos?

Remember, so long as you stay subscribed to a channel but don't interact with it in any way(click a vid, comment, dislike it or comments in the comment section) it hurts the channel. Thats why i resubbed to every channel i unsubbed from, that way i can actually hinder them instead of help them. This has been proven from Jesse Cox being told so by youtube staff during meetings he's had, you literally have to start a fresh channel free from the dead subs to get the algorithm to pick you back up.

Viewer bot farms is a thing. Is that a declining business now? And the results starting to show now?

Some pretty serious things going on in the world today that need our support and therefore attention. I consume less entertainment as a byproduct.

Fuck Linus.

I just don't get suggested his content anymore. Then again I just found out every channel I've ever subscribed to is under a seperate category and usually not under the main YouTube page..

Basically I'm blocking every channel I've subscribed to without ever realising..

I have to go to my subscribed channels just to see what they’ve posted now. YT definitely changed up their algorithm and it’s useless for me now. It doesn’t present anything I’m interested in.
