I think its because people don't have money?
What does that have to do with being able to watch videos on a free ad supported platform?
Also this isn't just something happening to LTT, this is happening across the board with many many channels speaking up about drop in views. YouTube did something and it's hurting content creators both large and small
If someone can't afford to be part of the hobby then they arnt goanna watch videos on that hobby
They're going to move on. Find a new hobby that they can't afford to participate in. Then find new creators that do content in that new hobby
Tech has priced out most of the lower and lower middle class. We can't play anymore so we need to find something new to do
So people who couldn’t afford expensive cars didn’t watch Top Gear or Grand Tour?
There are people who do and people who watch. I think the people who do but can't afford are the ones leaving. Now you're left with people watching and the few that can afford to do.
Exactly!
