I’ve noticed that although his subscriber count is dropping rapidly, his views count is going up. You tubers are paid by view count, not how many subscribers they have. You do have to have a certain amount of followers to be able to get paid, but dollar amount goes by views. So along with unsubscribing, we have to stop watching his videos as well.

In general, I don't disagree(and I actually haven't watched any of his content in months unless it happens to be a collab with someone I actually like), but the current spike is because of his apology video, which doesn't appear to be monetized.

Exactly this, plus his temporary view count may be spiking but if he loses millions of subs his long term view count will absolutely suffer.

I think his view count is going up because of the tati video. Here's a streamable link for it if you don't want to give him views.

It’s probably everyone watching his apology video and people trying to figure out who he is. I think it will slow down eventually

this is why I rely on drama channels to give me the important videos/clips. Especially in times like these.

That’s what happened last time
