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?

      hey, since you love “independent investigations”, what’s your take on Gamers Nexus catching LTT taking money for positive reviews of products? where the investigation for that, eh?

          you would know if you had been paying attention to our conversation.

          hey what about the time LTT auctioned off property that belonged to someone else without asking them, what’s your take on that?

              it figures you would be OK with that, since you were OK with the sexual harassment. what’s a little theft when you’ve already dismissed unwanted sexual contact, amiright?

              the reason I’m still talking with you is because I want to demonstrate to everyone one of the other controversies around LTT, that being the toxic fanbase that’s as rabid as Elon’s or Trump’s. and you played along fantastically, dutifully playing the part of fanboy for everyone to see. so for that, I thank you.

              but now that you’ve done your job and played your role, I don’t have any further use for you, so ta-ta and farewell!

                Not going to take a side here, but the fact you said “you were OK with the sexual harassment”, when the other commenter said nothing as such, does not show that you are arguing in good faith.

                  they dismissed the allegations because a group LTT paid to look into it said nothing happened. so yeah they absolutely said they were OK with sexual harassment. I’m not going to argue this with you, either, because I am not interested in whatever rationalization for sexual harassment you’ve prepared.

                    Wow, well now I know for sure you are not arguing in good faith. Have a nice day.
