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?

    I haven’t been logged in for years, and I can still watch it. If they’re blocking, it’s an A/B test and not everywhere. I watch on Firefox w/ uBO (four different machines), NewPipe, and Grayjay.

      Microsoft edge. Or Brave. Or chrome on android. Regular pihole.

      Every video i click on basically. If i use a front end like newpipe or duckplayer it works but no other way to watch any videos without logging in.
