I haven't subbed to a new channel in years, and similarly, I haven't unsubbed from any of the Minecraft youtubers I used to watch in middle school either. Pretty much everything I watch comes from my recommendeds (which IIRC are based on recent views and search results) which actually are surprisingly not shit. And the new Youtuber line is to whine about how 95% of their viewers aren't subbed to their channel. Which suggests to me that a LOT of people share my behavior on Youtube, and similarly suggests that if a channel's been around for years, a lot (if not a majority) of their subs are dead subs who haven't watched a video in years.I'm betting a lot of those subs are ones from people who subbed but stopped watching or caring. I'm subbed to Sargon and haven't watched a single video of his in 5 years. The numbers alone are hardly damming as most youtubers barely have more than 25% sub engagement and get most views from the algorithm pushing videos around.
That being said Quintons stale ass content is why he's not growing his channel at all. Why watch Quinton when you could watch someone more entertaining or insightful? He's even more boring and annoying than current era nostalgia critic.
