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?

    there is, maybe, a market for more specialized, niche platforms…but it’s a huge maybe.

    nebula seems to be doing very well, but again: highly specialized content, and a closed/curated platform.

    other than serving video content, it has little in common with yt…hence the big “maybe”!

    and there’s been a few similar attempts in recent years, which i don’t think really went anywhere either…
