Good to see, but I don't think LTT is going to lose most viewers. At least not anytime soon. They still have an insane amount of views per video and all they really have to do is look like they're sorry and most of the internet will forget about it. I think LTT, if they continue down this path, should be defunct.
I don't watch or follow their content and was impressed that they get at least a million views for every video, and they post almost everyday I guess. Holy shit
I wonder who are all these million people per video. Stopped watching LTT years ago.
I'm one. I support LTT even after this
Name checks out, well played.
I think you forgot a "/s"

How about floatplane subs?

Cause it looks like that over the past 36 hours they've lost >3000 subs there... which IIRC is a paid service.
Edit: Another way to look at how much they've lost is ~10%
where did this data come from?
You can view the current sub count if you have a floatplane account (even if you're not subbed to them). This appears to match the number I see on their profile. So I would presume it scrapes their site for it.
Makes sense, thanks!
Not to mention they have so many channels that act as "fluff" that (lack of a better word) normies view casually and move on.
