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?

All correct, and not conflicting with what I said. For the avoidance of doubt here is the email where Billet Labs confirmed they told them they could keep it: https://imgur.com/a/mF2tz4J

Then they changed their mind, and your timeline follows.

The email says they could keep it for further testing, not sell it.

LTT claimed they offered to pay for it but the time stamps prove they didn't get an offer to pay for it until after GN publicized the mistake.

No, the email says they said they could keep it, with no qualifiers, because they thought it would be for further testing, but didn't tell anyone that's their expectation.
