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?

They took quick action 3 years after GN publicized LTT's past bad behavior.

According to your source they replied and acknowledged the plagiarism 34 minutes after being notified by GN. I have no clue where you are getting 3 years.

"Plagiarism by Linus Tech Tips of GamersNexus content wherein we previously privately reached out without resolution"

They had privately contacted LTT in the past. LTT ignored it until GN made a public video years later.

Well, if that happened, no such emails are in the GN response.

The quote was from the linked article.

You: Quote Me: The quote is not backed by any proof You: The quote is from the article

Where else would it be from and how is that relevant?

So LTT apologized and gave GN credit only after GN made it public and that's not proof?

Read the emails. Linus said he'd fix it. GN thanked him for quick action but 3 years later LTT still hadn't done anything.
