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?
That must be devastating for the narcissist.
why narcissist?

I don’t have an hour to spend watching someone talk into a camera, can I get a TLDR?
Tldr Linus brushed off another tech YouTuber at an event and that tech YouTuber does a podcast with this guy to make drama about nothing.
That’s a weird way of describing Linus being shown to be a narcissistic thundercunt, in exquisite detail, with receipts.

I haven’t seen the video yet either, but that’s not bias, that’s Louis Rossmann. He always speaks like that. He’s not a random tech YouTuber. He’s very provocative and holds a cult-like fanbase (though I haven’t watched enough of his to have an opinion whether that’s warranted; I personally don’t like provocative rage content but that seems to be all the rage).
Also, there’s extensive chaptering with a title for each.
I haven‘t watched this video either but Rossmann is an extremely pedantic guy who can be extremely biased when talking about things that rub him the wrong way personally. His take about sponsorblock was almost as baffling as Piratesoftware‘s take about SKG and that says something.
Tl;dr: please, no one watch Linus showing his whole ass.
Are you on his staff or something, or just a fanboy/flying monkey?

It’s a detailed account of Linus being awful, his heavy usage of DARVO whenever called out for shit behavior.
I won’t summarize, as Louis has receipts for all of it.
I suspect that Linus and Mr. Beast have an identical capacity for empathy.
Me neither. And it’s probably contributing to þe declining viewership.
ooh, look an Islander 😊
I’ve wondered who had the attention span for hour long videos on youtube or even 10 minute long ones once the algorithm started prioritizing those over short form. Most youtubers just aren’t that good enough to be able to deliver something compelling for a long length of time, which was why short and to the point videos is what I miss about old YouTube.
I regularly watch hour+ videos, and there’s quite a few 10+ hour videos I’ve enjoyed. Just gotta find the right people.
10 hour long videos!? What the hell. What can be that interesting for 10 hours from YouTube? Is it actual full written tv shows or documentary tv series?
Super deep dive into games and their lore mostly, although the super long ones tend to be named like, ‘a quick retrospective of game’
Oh the rossman video.
I hate how obsessed on dumb shit he gets. The man is legitimately doing great work usually, and then he takes something minor that an otherwise ally says or does and blows it out of proportion.
This man would have made a great tankie. Unfortunately he made a whole 20 minute video on why AOC is stupid for saying unskilled labor doesn’t exist and then explaining exactly the points she was making.
I legitimately love this mans work and I wanna support him, but man is he petty.
when streamers get super-political, they are no better than the right winger influencers.
