Crypto content is hitting a rough patch on YouTube. The viewing numbers have dropped to their lowest since early 2021, marking the end of a brutal three-month slide. What's more telling? This downturn isn't isolated to one platform—it's happening everywhere. The shift became noticeable back in October and has kept accelerating since. Whether this reflects declining retail interest or just a seasonal market lull remains to be seen, but the data paints a clear picture of fading mainstream attention toward crypto discussions online.

Since October, the enthusiasm has faded, and now that the data is out, it's indeed the case. YouTube traffic has dropped like this, and other platforms have long been dead. It's another cyclical thing; retail retail investors haven't recovered yet. Wait, isn't this just a bottom-fishing signal... Decreased mainstream attention = institutions quietly accumulating? Going against the trend could be very exciting.

It seems like it's the off-season for cutting leeks again, now even YouTube views can't hold up. --- Since October, it's been crashing. I'm just wondering, is this the legendary "cycle"? --- Alright, every time it drops, it's said to be seasonal; when it rises again, it's called a bull market. The cycle is truly human. --- Ha, mainstream attention declining? I think it's just that the mainstream leeks have been harvested. --- From early 2021 until now, this cycle has been really long. Where are my coins... --- Another crash? I'm numb to it. Anyway, I've long since退出 this crazy place. --- Wait, are we talking about content popularity declining or is the market really cooling down? The difference seems a bit big. --- If YouTube is dropping like this, what about the coin prices? Are they still holding on?

Starting from October, this wave is hopeless. Claims of seasonal fluctuations are just self-deception.

Damn, it started to fall in October? Why didn't I notice --- Another bear market cycle, used to it --- Wait, are you saying the entire network is losing interest in crypto? Is there still hope for my channel --- It seems everyone is just harvesting the little guys, no one is discussing anymore --- No, it should be a rebound period now, why is the popularity still dropping --- YouTube data is always unreliable, don't take it too seriously --- Three months? Feels like no one watched it half a year ago, right? --- Retail investors got their faces slapped, naturally they lost their enthusiasm

Honestly, since October, the market has been declining, and it feels like the entire crypto space has been neglected... This time, it might not rebound like before.
