Maybe not that interesting for everyone here, but I found no better community for this.

Their quality going down is probably what’s killing their channel. Every video is a merch ad, and the occasional shilling for the fossil fuel industry probably doesn’t help any.

These things are to be expected when you get bought by private equity, but let’s not be dishonest and say it’s all AI slop that’s killing them.

I just looked at the public company records and they are not owned by private equity. What are you talking about?

First off, no you didn’t.

Secondly, if you take money from billionaires to make propaganda videos for them, then you’re owned by them. You sell your soul to the devil, you can’t undo it later because you get called out for it.

Yeah because it's super difficult to search public information.
