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?

LTT had multiple pretty bad scandals, didn't they? I recently needed to find some technical information and other places had better information. LTT seems to be more of a pop culture tech channel? I don't even really know how to describe what I mean. It's like the reviews are more like fluff pieces I guess? They aren't super duper technical. But I also don't watch them much so maybe I missed something.

Yeah, the videos are entertainment. When looking for actual technical information, they release it in text form: https://www.lttlabs.com/

Yes, it's definitely a more mainstream entertainment channel than pure info

aimed more at gamers than tech people I think

They're tech entertainers, and Linus is the clown jester.
