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?

If someone can't afford to be part of the hobby then they arnt goanna watch videos on that hobby

They're going to move on. Find a new hobby that they can't afford to participate in. Then find new creators that do content in that new hobby

Tech has priced out most of the lower and lower middle class. We can't play anymore so we need to find something new to do

So people who couldn’t afford expensive cars didn’t watch Top Gear or Grand Tour?

There are people who do and people who watch. I think the people who do but can't afford are the ones leaving. Now you're left with people watching and the few that can afford to do.
