in the last six months:

1. his videos have begun leaning a lot harder into national politics and social issues. Yes, those elements have been present basically from the offset,, but when I say he's leaned far more into them, I mean a while hell of a lot more. For example, he's shifter from slagging off specific companies/practices to just outright slagging off capitalism in general, which is a harder sell. And on a social level, while I agree with his stance that games/stories are inherently political, as its basically impossible to avoid, his relating absolutely everything to modern political issues, at every turn, is also a harder sell than what he did before. And that's gonna alienate some folks.

2. he spent a lot of time slagging off Cyberpunk and CDPR, BEFORE it was cool to do so. Even though he was proven right in hindsight, it doesn't much matter to the sub count.

3. he recently changed his shows format from one giant topic/week to a more traditional rapod-fire-3-to-4-stories-of-the-week. Format changes aren't good for subscriber counts.

4. He recently came out as non-binary and made all the usual requests (pronouns, etc) that come with that turf. Nuff said; part of the audience is gonna kick back.
