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?

    Like doing what? All I see is the most bias video about nothing for an hour long. He is this bias and that’s the worst stuff he can find? I’ve taken dumps that were more offensive. Compared to any other person in the news and this is milk toast bland.

    Tl;dr: please, no one watch Linus showing his whole ass.

    Are you on his staff or something, or just a fanboy/flying monkey?

        There are a ton of videos about his shittiness going back years from quite a few people, you could easily find them if you wanted to.

        But I don’t get why you don’t just admit you don’t care about that history, it’s a lot less effort than whatever it is you’re trying to convince people of here.

          Where did Linus touch you? You still keep referring to some magic videos but you can’t say one example. He is living rent free in your head and you are trying your best. You tech Jesus fan boy or something?

          Go on and explain what’s the worst thing he has done? I’m your words, not some long boring gossip video about nothing.

            Funny you should bring up touching people in that context, because sexual harassment is the reason LTT stopped producing videos for awhile.

            https://www.theverge.com/2023/8/16/23834190/linus-tech-tips-gamersnexus-madison-reeves-controversy

            Of course, that article also covers the Gamers Nexus investigation into LTT taking money to give biased reviews.

            I would keep going, but we both know you aren’t going to read or watch those videos, so this comment is more for the other people who might be curious about it. And honestly I think your behavior makes the arguments against LTT look better, for no other reason than assholes tend to be followed by smaller, less famous assholes.

              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

        Insults because you still don’t have anything?

        You’re having some sort of brainfart. The youtube link literally includes receipts of Linus, in his own words, being a cunt.

        Lol get off your high horse if you are going to act like this much of an ass.

        No high horse required. A presentation of the facts works, as is.

        This was me casually dropping some shade on some dickhead, who i barely know or care about.

        Would you like me to lean into spotlighting his history of being a narcissistic cunt? We both know that there is no shortage of dirt out there.

        Just ask, and I’ll add more credible links as I find them.

        Or if that doesn’t suit your fancy, consider shutting your yip yap.
