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?

Viewer bot farms is a thing. Is that a declining business now? And the results starting to show now?

Some pretty serious things going on in the world today that need our support and therefore attention. I consume less entertainment as a byproduct.

Maybe YT has started to be more aggressive towards viewbots like Twitch? Or has changed something in the algorithm (again) and fucked up (again).

…it’s the algorithm, and not putting every second video behind a member paywall.
