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?

      So LTT apologized and gave GN credit only after GN made it public and that’s not proof?

      Yeah, it is proof that Linus acknowledged it. Of course it was too late and he didn’t do enough about it, but that was never in question.

      Linus said he’d fix it. GN thanked him for quick action but 3 years later LTT still hadn’t done anything.

      All I see in the email is that Linus said he will speak with the writers to not forget citations again and put up a pinned comment, which he did, and GN thanked him for it. I don’t see GN requesting any other action in the email. That’s definitely not “hadn’t done anything”. It’s not enough, but again that was never in question.
