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?

    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.
