Fun times. Looks like a lot of channels are seeing a decline not just Linus. Hes just the latest to talk about it.

    Don’t forget that most of us are getting priced out of the hobby in general. It’s not fun when you can’t afford to play around in your own hobby. You move on and find a new hobby.
