You don’t see a lot of people come back from turmoil like this and stay as popular as they previously were. Will be interesting to see what changes they make.
They are popular because they really know how to leverage the Youtube algorithm and end up being suggested to a ton of people. Technically knowledgeable people might reject LTT even more due to this mess but there are still a ton of viewers following what Youtube suggests.
It’s not even that they know how to work the algorithm anymore. When you’re that high level, you have a partnership with YouTube and they’ll adjust the algorithm for you.
Fair. They could also just reincorporate a new company and do the same with different people featured and make money I suppose.
