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?
LTT has done bad things and never apologized. For example he copied a gamersnexus script and never acknowledged it.
Never acknowledged it? He immediately put a pinned comment attributing Gamers Nexus when notified of it, and GN thanked him for it, which any reasonable person would take as him being happy with the resolution.
It was a piece of info from GN’s video, not a copied script though.

Yeah, that’s what I’m basing what I said on. You can see GN thanking Linus for quick action, and being understanding that an inexperienced writer could make such a mistake.
“quick action”
3 years later and only after Linus made vague legal threats to GN about Honey requiring GN to publicize LTT’s past bad behavior.
I’m literally quoting GN, who said “quick action” in the email you can see, what can I tell you. You can disagree that it was quick action, but you are not disagreeing with me, you are disagreeing with GN.
They took quick action 3 years after GN publicized LTT’s past bad behavior.
According to your source they replied and acknowledged the plagiarism 34 minutes after being notified by GN. I have no clue where you are getting 3 years.
“Plagiarism by Linus Tech Tips of GamersNexus content wherein we previously privately reached out without resolution”
They had privately contacted LTT in the past. LTT ignored it until GN made a public video years later.
And stole an item to auction off! I can’t believe people here defend their ass D:
Which turned out to be false, and Billet Labs confirmed it was always the agreement that they were not supposed to return it, they just changed their mind later when it was already too late.
The email chain was published by Billet Labs after LTT said there were no expectations of returning the prototype. It proved that Linus lied about it.
Billet Labs explicitly said in the email that “you could keep it”. They changed their mind later. So what’s the lie? The emails confirm Linus’s version.
"…
Regarding LTT, we are simply going to state the relevant facts:
On 10th August, we were told by LTT via email that the block had been sold at auction. There was no apology.
We replied on 10th August within 30 minutes, telling LTT that this wasn’t okay, and that this was a £XXXX prototype, and we asked if they planned to reimburse us at all.
We received no reply and no offer of payment until 2 hours after the Gamers Nexus video went live on 14th August, at which point Linus himself emailed us directly.
The exact monetary value of the prototype was offered as reimbursement. We have not received, nor have we asked for any other form of compensation."
Time-stamped emails were provided as proof.
All correct, and not conflicting with what I said. For the avoidance of doubt here is the email where Billet Labs confirmed they told then they could keep it: https://imgur.com/a/mF2tz4J
Then they changed their mind, and your timeline follows.
The email says they could keep it for further testing, not sell it.
LTT claimed they offered to pay for it but the time stamps prove they didn’t get an offer to pay for it until after GN publicized the mistake.
No, the email says they said they could keep it, with no qualifiers, because they thought it would be for further testing, but didn’t tell anyone that’s their expectation.
