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?

hey, since you love "independent investigations", what's your take on Gamers Nexus catching LTT taking money for positive reviews of products? where the investigation for that, eh?

I don't watch games Nexus lol so you are going to have to be now specific if you need my help googling but tech reviewer giving sponsored reviews seems pretty milk toast at best. There are plenty people who sponsor items they don't use, it's marketing but can you not enjoy the content, sure but it doesn't make someone mechahitler.

you would know if you had been paying attention to our conversation.

hey what about the time LTT auctioned off property that belonged to someone else without asking them, what's your take on that?

[–] busyconstruction13@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

You mean the prototype that was planned to just be given to them but was sold for a charity auction then LTT offered an apology and tried to monetarily compensate billet labs?

This wasn't sold maliciously nor for profit. Billet labs was upset since it was ip but initially said LTT could retain the product and LTT didn't understand that billet labs didn't want them to sell it.

Next one? There are YouTubers that hire known pedos for kids shows or make content pissing off locals or desecrating dead people but you have a problem with someone doing ad reads for a product that he might not actually enjoy? Are you Steve?

it figures you would be OK with that, since you were OK with the sexual harassment. what's a little theft when you've already dismissed unwanted sexual contact, amiright?

the reason I'm still talking with you is because I want to demonstrate to everyone one of the other controversies around LTT, that being the toxic fanbase that's as rabid as Elon's or Trump's. and you played along fantastically, dutifully playing the part of fanboy for everyone to see. so for that, I thank you.

but now that you've done your job and played your role, I don't have any further use for you, so ta-ta and farewell!
