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?

            That’s a weird way of describing Linus being shown to be a narcissistic thundercunt, in exquisite detail, with receipts.

                I haven’t seen the video yet either, but that’s not bias, that’s Louis Rossmann. He always speaks like that. He’s not a random tech YouTuber. He’s very provocative and holds a cult-like fanbase (though I haven’t watched enough of his to have an opinion whether that’s warranted; I personally don’t like provocative rage content but that seems to be all the rage).

                Also, there’s extensive chaptering with a title for each.

                  I haven‘t watched this video either but Rossmann is an extremely pedantic guy who can be extremely biased when talking about things that rub him the wrong way personally. His take about sponsorblock was almost as baffling as Piratesoftware‘s take about SKG and that says something.

                Like doing what? All I see is the most bias video about nothing for an hour long. He is this bias and that’s the worst stuff he can find? I’ve taken dumps that were more offensive. Compared to any other person in the news and this is milk toast bland.

                Tl;dr: please, no one watch Linus showing his whole ass.

                Are you on his staff or something, or just a fanboy/flying monkey?

                    Insults because you still don’t have anything?

                    You’re having some sort of brainfart. The youtube link literally includes receipts of Linus, in his own words, being a cunt.

                    Lol get off your high horse if you are going to act like this much of an ass.

                    No high horse required. A presentation of the facts works, as is.

                    This was me casually dropping some shade on some dickhead, who i barely know or care about.

                    Would you like me to lean into spotlighting his history of being a narcissistic cunt? We both know that there is no shortage of dirt out there.

                    Just ask, and I’ll add more credible links as I find them.

                    Or if that doesn’t suit your fancy, consider shutting your yip yap.

          It’s a detailed account of Linus being awful, his heavy usage of DARVO whenever called out for shit behavior.

          I won’t summarize, as Louis has receipts for all of it.

          I suspect that Linus and Mr. Beast have an identical capacity for empathy.

        Oh the rossman video.

        I hate how obsessed on dumb shit he gets. The man is legitimately doing great work usually, and then he takes something minor that an otherwise ally says or does and blows it out of proportion.

        This man would have made a great tankie. Unfortunately he made a whole 20 minute video on why AOC is stupid for saying unskilled labor doesn’t exist and then explaining exactly the points she was making.

        I legitimately love this mans work and I wanna support him, but man is he petty.
