If things get too expensive in the US, there will be fewer youtubers willing to waste money on entertaining yet stupid projects. The result might be a shortage of content, or reduced quality.

    Enshittification for Mr. Beast?

    AI video generation is already replacing some of the production costs, showing that innovation might mitigate the expensives.

    Reduced quality in Youtube videos? Is that even possible?

    Depends what exactly it is they are doing. Between affiliation, promoting, sponsors, a lot of these popular YouTubers are not spending much money and instead making the money.

    99% of youtubers are nobody anyway. This will only make the big content creators stand out even more and be more annoying. no amount of money can shut down your Logan Paul’s or Mr. Beasts.

    Seriously? Who gives a fuck. That’s exactly what’s wrong with this place. Too much useless shit. No one focuses on anything that actually matters. Our lives would be much better without social media, “content”, and add revenue

    The tariffs disproportionately affect the poor, Youtubers will be among the least affected
