There’s a saying that goes, “There are lies, damn lies, and statistics.”. Don’t misinterpret that as me accusing you of lying or touting that as a legitimate statistic, it’s tongue-in-cheek, but our fandom was shrinking
long before G5 came out with a giant chunk of the fandom having moved on to other things even before FiM ended. This assessment comes off to me as conflating 10% of the fandom now with 10% of the fandom back in the day. TYT’s views have also not gone down, they have gone
up. In late 2022, episodes often struggled to hit 100K views on the MLP Official Channel when they were new and being uploaded there first, and every episode of Season 2 so far has already surpassed 100K views
easily with the TYT Season 2 premiere being the most viewed episode on the TYT Official Channel since As the Misty Clears premiered over ten months ago.
