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 had a 3rd party investigate that and there was nothing wrong but that doesn’t matter to you does it?

    In August 2024, former Linus Tech Tips (LTT) social media manager Madison Reeve made allegations of sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior in a tweet thread. LTT hired an outside investigator and conducted a review, which found no evidence to support Reeve’s claims. The investigation did find some administrative errors and misunderstandings during Reeve’s onboarding

    Again Steve and Louis do a podcast together and facts don’t matter. Steve is upset at Linus for being ignored at an event and he Louis to write a hit piece. This is obvious why you don’t want to type any exact issues because the bad stuff has been proven as false allegations.

      ah, yes, the good old “we paid somebody to listen to our side of the story and they naturally found nothing wrong”.

      as I said, I didn’t post that link to convince you, because you’re not interested in considering it. the link is for everyone else. you can keep on believing whatever it is you want, but since you can’t edit my comment you don’t have any way to stop anyone else from considering the facts.

        The irony. If an independent 3rd party investigation isn’t good enough nothing will be for you. At this point it just sounds like you are as jealous as Steve

              hey, since you love “independent investigations”, what’s your take on Gamers Nexus catching LTT taking money for positive reviews of products? where the investigation for that, eh?

                I don’t watch games Nexus lol so you are going to have to be now specific if you need my help googling but tech reviewer giving sponsored reviews seems pretty milk toast at best. There are plenty people who sponsor items they don’t use, it’s marketing but can you not enjoy the content, sure but it doesn’t make someone mechahitler.

                  you would know if you had been paying attention to our conversation.

                  hey what about the time LTT auctioned off property that belonged to someone else without asking them, what’s your take on that?

                    You mean the prototype that was planned to just be given to them but was sold for a charity auction then LTT offered an apology and tried to monetarily compensate billet labs?

                    This wasn’t sold maliciously nor for profit. Billet labs was upset since it was ip but initially said LTT could retain the product and LTT didn’t understand that billet labs didn’t want them to sell it.

                    Next one? There are YouTubers that hire known pedos for kids shows or make content pissing off locals or desecrating dead people but you have a problem with someone doing ad reads for a product that he might not actually enjoy? Are you Steve?
