~~⚠️ De-clickbait-ify the youtube titles or your post will be removed!~~
~~Floatplane titles are perfectly fine.~~
~~LTT/LMG community. Brought to you by ******... Actually, no, not this time. This time it's brought to you by Lemmy, the open communities and free and open source software!~~
~~If you post videos from Youtube/LTT, please please un-clickbait the titles. (You can use the title from https://nitter.net/LTTtranslator/ but it doesn't seem to have been updated in quite some while...)~~

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"
The username is Spez, they are a parody account.
Edit, I am dumb. I didn't read your username

Subscriber count is kind of a bad metric. Most youtubers know that most of their viewers aren't subscribed, and that most of their subscribers don't watch all of their videos. It's a lot more useful for small channels that don't get recommended to randoms, but the bigger the channel gets the worse it is as a metric.
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.
