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?

    After some time it “learns” you don’t want it.

    But what grinds my gears instead are auto-translated video titles.
    Because I am watching maybe 70-80% english content I decided the lesser evil is to just set the language to english instead.
    Annoying as fuck but managable.

      Google has always made it extremely clear that they don’t believe it’s possible for the human brain to know more than one language, and that anyone who claims to know more than one is a liar and a witch and has no place in their platforms.
