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?

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?

Free streaming sites aren't building empires by ripping off useful idiots. They simply make less money.

So why do you think they set all of that up for you to freely stream torrents? What is in it for them?

This is part of your conditioning to be skeptical of whenever you see a better deal. Rather than admitting that you've been taken for a ride, you get angry at everyone else who has higher standards.

Keep wasting your money on things you could be getting for free while not thinking you're a tool. It's the consumerist way.

Really? I have a bridge to sell you. Talk about a tool...

And you are talking to me like I watch videos all the time. I have better things to do, like making websites to lure people in like you.
