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?

    Free streaming sites are awful.

    No they aren’t, lol. But whatever floats your boat.

    I’ll be over here enjoying more things for a cheaper price and helping others do the same.

      Yeah, they are. So why do you think they set all of that up for you to freely stream torrents? What is in it for them? Data harvesting? Malware? What?

        It is so sad that isn’t true anymore. I know what usenet was, but today it is just a collection of paid companies. You can really tell because of all the honored take down requests.

        Is there even a university or other public entity connected anymore?
