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?

Get the ublock origin lite and on for safari, had worked an absolute treat for stopping YouTube ads on my iPad.

Another tip; Orion, the browser developed by Kagi can install proper Firefox extensions. You can have the real full uBlock Origin extension in the browser.

Edit: I believe it can handle Chromium extensions as well but who cares about those?
