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?

        Is it? Try to ask <18y.o. if they even ever open Youtube.
        Google is not dominant in the video streaming context any more.
