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?

For anyone following the smart tube next tutorial on github you don't need to do anything after installing the "kutt.it/......." Download. You do not need to transfer an APK from your phone or computer. Literally just download the downloader, and type the beta or stable package address and install, also make sure you have developer options enabled beforehand.

Also, probably a great time to turn updates to your OS off, as Google is taking away the ability to sideload (well, kinda). It's a whole story. Highly doubt that SmartTube Next is gonna get a licence to allow signing of their app.
