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?

3 years later

  • The WAN show with the plagiarized segment aired on September 16, 2022
  • GN wrote to LTT about the plagiarism on September 21, 2022
  • The email reply and pinned comment was published on September 21, 2022, less than an hour later

Please give me some dates because I really can't see where the 3 years are coming from. 3 years haven't even passed yet from when the plagiarism happened

The receipts show LTT plagerized, Linus promised to fix it but didn’t.

So he did acknowledge it. Which, may I remind you again, is all I'm saying, in response your comment that he didn't acknowledge it. I'm not saying he fixed the issue, all I'm saying is that he said he will, which you seem to agree with, so I really don't know what you are disagreeing with me about.

Your original comment is:

For example he copied a gamersnexus script and never acknowledged it

Which I disagree with, because in my opinion it should be:

For example he copied a gamersnexus script, and didn't properly fix the issue even though he acknowleged it and said he will

I don't know why you are saying he fixed it 3 years later when the WAN Clips segment still doesn't even have a pinned comment. He did not fix it then, he did not fix it until now, and I bet it won't be fixed 3 years later, which will pass next week.

"As of January 20, 2025, nearly 3 years later, there has been no public acknowledgement of the plagiarism, nor retraction of the content in the WAN Show upload with 2,000,000 views. The WAN Show upload and LMG Clips videos do not reference or cite GamersNexus either verbally or on screen at any point for the EVGA story. "

Sounds correct, he only acknowledged it in private by responding to the email.
