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?

    This guy seems really fake, I have only watched a couple and it too much personality for what I want. I just want to hit the topics and move through quickly, MKBHD and the boss guy are solid.

    Other than thatnIbhave only ever heard of these guys when they have been acting like dicks internally and externally.

      MKBHD the one that drove over the limit on a school zone for a car review, his also very light when reviewing Tesla stuff.

      Isn’t MKBHD a bit of a brat? Doesn’t he spend most of his time doing flashy low substance “reviews” just so he keeps getting invited to Apples gigs?

      His reviews are mostly just b-role anyway, there are actual reviewers out there.

        I haven’t watched anything of his in a bit of time now, basically since that speeding incident, but at the time I did watch a few videos to see if I definitely wanted to unsubscribe. which I did. I just didn’t feel that the reviews were honest or appropriate, and the focus on vehicles was really starting to get annoying.

      not sure which videos you checked. LTT is paced faster than MKBHD though mrwhosetheboss is definitely faster than both.
