About this briefing

Video description

I built T-Bone Crypto from nothing because I could not find the kind of crypto channel I wanted to watch. I wanted to look beyond headlines, price predictions, hype, and unsupported connections to explain what the evidence actually shows.


The channel found a real audience, grew to nearly 2,000 subscribers, and reached more than 150,000 views. But after a major period of growth, impressions and views began falling month after month, even while click-through rates, viewing time, likes, and other viewer responses often remained strong.


In this video, I share the actual analytics, the different formats I have tried, what goes into producing these deep dives, and why I am seriously questioning whether continuing at this pace makes sense.


I cannot verify why YouTube has become so restrictive with the channel’s reach. Maybe the audience for detailed, evidence-first crypto research is smaller than I believed. Maybe the technical depth limits broader appeal. Maybe the changing production formats have worked against the channel. I simply do not know.


This is not a goodbye announcement or an attempt to blame viewers, other creators, or YouTube. It is an honest look at what I built, what has happened, and why I may be approaching the point where I walk away.
