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?

    Very true. The last decade and a half have just been switching between round and square corners with mild spec bumps. VR was supposed to be it I think, but it just isn’t useful enough.

      VR still is it. If you have €€€€

      Take the bigscreen beyond 2.
      A vr-headset starting at 1300 (incl. taxes/import).
      Uhhh yeah.
      Not happening for what little VR could offer me in my current situation (and I don’t watch porn).
