Family member spends all day every day recording and editing videos for youtube. Never finds an audience. Never gets promoted. The service is too busy pushing AI slop. All that video storage for the long tail of content with almost no views must cost a fortune. Meanwhile big quality youtubers seem to not be growing for some time like they have hit a ceiling. I think Youtube has been in decline for some time. Instead of fix it, which would require investment and ideas, I think they pull the usual bad US MBA style management practice and attempt to maximise revenues on the way down until they finally kill it.
I think pretty much all big YouTubers fade away eventually. PewDiePie and Linus Tech tips seem to get fewer views than they had in their prime. Either they get a shitstorm, or quit themselves, or they grow apart from their audience.
