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?

    I’m literally quoting GN, who said “quick action” in the email you can see, what can I tell you. You can disagree that it was quick action, but you are not disagreeing with me, you are disagreeing with GN.

        According to your source they replied and acknowledged the plagiarism 34 minutes after being notified by GN. I have no clue where you are getting 3 years.

          “Plagiarism by Linus Tech Tips of GamersNexus content wherein we previously privately reached out without resolution”

          They had privately contacted LTT in the past. LTT ignored it until GN made a public video years later.

                You: Quote

                Me: The quote is not backed by any proof

                You: The quote is from the article

                Where else would it be from and how is that relevant?

                    So LTT apologized and gave GN credit only after GN made it public and that’s not proof?

                    Yeah, it is proof that Linus acknowledged it. Of course it was too late and he didn’t do enough about it, but that was never in question.

                    Linus said he’d fix it. GN thanked him for quick action but 3 years later LTT still hadn’t done anything.

                    All I see in the email is that Linus said he will speak with the writers to not forget citations again and put up a pinned comment, which he did, and GN thanked him for it. I don’t see GN requesting any other action in the email. That’s definitely not “hadn’t done anything”. It’s not enough, but again that was never in question.
