3 months into lockdown restrictions are loosening up and things are seemingly back to normal. CPM’s are back up and stabilizing, everyone’s happy! Until a few of the YouTube channels we work on experienced a significant drops in traffic. 

After a little poking around, a post on Reddit and with the help of TubeBuddy’s channel metrics tool, Carlos noticed quite a few channels are affected. The boys put on their tinfoil hats and discuss YouTube’s new “Viewer Satisfaction” metric and its effects.

Tom launches The Midnight Screening, his new youtube channel, a “Movie” channel no less, and is already victim to a takedown! 😒

Carlo’s baby, Just For Laughs hits 10 million subs. Now he wants his own trophy.
