This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Maybe if he did videos that were interesting again...not like my wife hates our tech at home videos or whatever
Some other analysis: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2025/youtube-views-are-down-dont-panic
I think the biggest channels I watch have under 4 million subscribers, and most of my channels have less than a million. I've never watched the big channels, so I don't really care.
A while back, YT asked me about turning on my watch history, but I didn't know it was off. I don't know what that was about--I think they changed something--but my knee-jerk reaction is to NOT do what they want me to do, so I left it off. Now I just watch whatever is new from my subscriptions, and don't have any suggestions cluttering my front page, which is a much better way to use YT, imo. So, thanks, YT.
Some pretty serious things going on in the world today that need our support and therefore attention. I consume less entertainment as a byproduct.
Viewer bot farms is a thing. Is that a declining business now? And the results starting to show now?
YouTube only shows me like 12 channels. I miss variety.
Because of short videos?
Remember, so long as you stay subscribed to a channel but don't interact with it in any way(click a vid, comment, dislike it or comments in the comment section) it hurts the channel. Thats why i resubbed to every channel i unsubbed from, that way i can actually hinder them instead of help them. This has been proven from Jesse Cox being told so by youtube staff during meetings he's had, you literally have to start a fresh channel free from the dead subs to get the algorithm to pick you back up.
