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?

Maybe at some point we can all stop watching and hence supporting YouTube, that'd be nice.

Or if you use adblock and stream at 4k, google will lose money when you watch videos. Free content while fucking google over is a win win in my book.

It's a big waste of energy to stream in 4K, so if I were you I'd simply not watch the video.

Nah, I still enjoy the content, and it wouldn't make a grain of difference as far as global wasted energy goes.

If you really are concerned about wasted energy though, you shouldn't be on your computer/phone browsing lemmy.
