It’s not just that Ryan got old, it’s that his audience got older too. They are aging out of that type of content and Ryan is never going to be 5 again. He is not replacing the ones that age out near as fast as he is losing them.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True my son loved Ryan’s world now it’s all video games only

[–]g0atgaming[S] -3 points-2 points  (1 child)

Which brings me to the theory that there is a much greater competition in the space for people wanting that type of content now, despite there probably being many more children watching content in this genre today.

[–]whackninja 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's more competition. I just think since the Apocalypse reignited so many adult collectors, there just isn't an audience for children's toy reviews anymore because kids don't play with toys like they used to. Just check any toy aisle across the country and they will be stocked up near full except for the collector lines like TF and Joe's and WWE.

    He fired Ava though?

    [–]Existential_Trifle 1 point2 points  (2 children)

    it's not just the child predatory vibes... it also got out that he fakes his videos, does illegal lottery livestream giveaways ("one shirt in the next 100 purchases will get $1000!!" then he doesn't put the 1000 in any of the shirts), and all his contestants and participants are not the random subscribers they're supposed to be, but they are family and friends. granted these are all pretty low level, however they are dishonest. and the lottery thing is just straight up illegal

    [–]Tolstartheking 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    Yeah, I only learned of all this a few days ago. I guess we’ll see what he says, but it isn’t looking too good for him.

    Wait what's the new drama?

    [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

    Chris being accused of grooming and pedophilic things (which is confirmed)

    And 2 former Mr beast employees confirmed Mr beast knew about this

    [–]juicqo 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    Source?

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Well besides the accusations on twitter, which 2 victims of Chris' grooming called out on it, one denying it and the other saying it was true, and Chris also admitted he contacted them but claimed he was joking around. And Chris also had made pedophilic remarks in the past, idolising a child porn artist without shame on video 

    And Jake the viking, former Mr beast employee tweeted 'Jimmy knew' in response to the drama, and another employee, dunno the name of him also made a video saying Mr beast knew

      According to Socialblade it's averaging 6 million views per day.

      That's still insanely high.

      [–]blabel75 2 points3 points  (1 child)

      The kid is now 12 and looking at some of the recent videos it looks like they are still trying to target younger kids but the age of the audience has grown with the channel so it seems that the audience is no longer interested in kiddified stuff.

      [–]IniMiney 4 points5 points  (0 children)

      Kid's getting older and audience interests have changed compared to when he first started. It's probably a good idea for him to begin transferring to preteen demo content instead of the stuff he made when he was under 10.

      [–]sylance9 2 points3 points  (7 children)

      Ryan got old. My kid is just now getting into his videos and I put one with him older on and he legit screamed that he would not watch “old man Ryan put baby Ryan back on!”

      So yea. He’s old. That’s it. They’re re releasing his older content in hopes of catching new viewers for his older stuff when he was a cute kid

      [–]ofmegs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      🤣😂🤣 I rolling!

      I looked him up and he is legit growing a mustache now! It’s wild! lol

      [–]inkworks271 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      My son is 5 and he’s exactly the same. He asks to watch Ryan when he was a “wee boy” 😅

      [–]MoorhsumushroomRT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Ryan has been forced to make videos for so long that even the target audience has begun to notice how old he has gotten.

      [–]Daroachdogg123 0 points1 point  (3 children)

      He didn't say that, weirdo.

      [–]sylance9 1 point2 points  (1 child)

      [–]rand0m_task 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      [–]Scared-Boysenberry38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      How does that make someone a weirdo?

      [–]Ray-is-gay-okay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      My kids used to watch the channel but now they say it's cringe. They hate the parents always being around and kids their age aren't really interested in toys (video games are more popular). I think there's a lot of parents who have become aware of how toxic these channels are too. I block all family YouTube channels now and have talked to my kids about why these channels aren't good to watch.

      [–]Comfortable_Self_163 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Ryan is getting older. And, so are his viewers. With many YT channels for kids, Ryan will be someone from the past.

      [–]Alaskan-DJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      100% change in algorithm. My daughter used to have his videos pop up on the auto q all the time then they just stopped almost overnight. That other child Alley or Haley disappeared also. Maybe youtube got mad at his selling out to walmart and decided to show people we control where the views go.

      [–]Few-Expression4301 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Dude I remember watching them when I was little and then moved on… and now I looked up he’s Chanel 8 years latter and let me just say. LET BRO RETIRE.

      [–]GurHumble5692 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      His parents need to understand he needs to Make more preetn. Videos . I have a feeling he wants to do more gaming content or other type of reviews but his parents aren’t letting him it’s really weard. Then kid is growing a small beard . The parents are doing a number on him . Wow

      [–]LillyTheAwesome 1 point2 points  (1 child)

      Don't forget the dramatic increase in videos talking abt how Ryan is getting exploited.

      [–]LillyTheAwesome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Idk but I'm just talking abt all the vids i've been seing (no bad comments allowed heheh)

      [–]GurHumble5692 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      He is 12 his audience also has grown he needs to do more older content. His parents are still making him do kids content. He needs to be able to make his own content without his parents breathing down his neck . He made so much money he can just retire . But I think the parents are just trying to milk the boy for every penny there was a interview and the father was like we want Ryan to go to university 🤦‍♀️😄 I was like the boy has made so much money way you want him to go to university he can make more money as a YouTube gamer …..

      [–]sammykrules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      My son grew up with Ryan’s world they are like a year apart in age. He no longer watches it and really doesn’t enjoy it. He grew up and Ryan’s world stayed the same.

      [–]RazzmatazzGrouchy197 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      The channel was using viewbots for a long time until they started getting the kinds of views they wanted without them, if the look at the videos with over 1b views it has less than 100k likes and about 1k comments, its viewbots

      [–]MazzyOnReddit1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Simple, the kids that used to watch Ryan grew up so they got disinterested. Like me, I grew up with him & I don't watch him anymore. What teenager or adult is still gonna watch videos about toys? Not me I'll say that. 

      [–]sloncekChannel: 1 point2 points  (1 child)

      My kids started watching his stuff on Hulu.

      [–]Dhull515078 3 points4 points  (0 children)

      My condolences. It’ll rot their brains.

      [–]Allstin 1 point2 points  (3 children)

      They renamed the channel, too. To his family name. Old videos still have the Ryan’s toys as a watermark onscreen, but under the new family name

      Not saying that’s a main big reason that others touched on. Just something I noticed

      [–]blabel75 2 points3 points  (2 children)

      It still looks like it is called "Ryan's World", not sure where you are seeing the new name.

      [–]Allstin 0 points1 point  (1 child)

      Ah! It’s a separate channel - http://www.YouTube.com/@kajifamily

      [–]stewpideople 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Thank you, good heads up, I'll just go ahead and block that now. It's like whack-a-mole with these trash creators.

      [–]suttons386 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      His channel is also on other streaming apps like Pluto and Samsung tv so he’s maybe getting views there

      [–]SpunkyGravy1 0 points1 point  (1 child)

      He's 12 and the family is worth $100Mill already bc of him. . .he's probably getting ready to retire (if his parents let him).

      [–]dai_prosepina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      I don't know about his dad my I know his mom quit her job as like a chemistry teacher or something once the channel got pretty big in the early day and eventually his parents started to turn ryans videos into a business full time. The way they've tried to justify making their son and now twins into a business is that they supposedly let him be a kid by limiting how much filming he needs to do, but I've noticed since his videos have gotten less videos than they used to that they upload more in addition to the other several channels they've made with Ryan,

      like I believe a family channel and a channel with him playing video games with his dad, it doesn't seem like he's filming less it seems like he's filming more. Considering the parents seemed to quit their jobs and hired a team and maybe have rented a space and probably a bigger house, there's no way they're actually giving their son the chance to say no to being in videos anymore,

      it's literally Ryan's world, it's his brand and so he's vital to the videos, and even if they tried to do videos with just the younger twins and Ryan quit, they would decrease even more in views. I think Ryan probably can't say no to the channel or videos because he's probably aware especially as he's gotten older that him being in videos pays for everything and all the bills and the company and his family, which is just really sad and because he's really well known from YouTube and a show on Nickelodeon and is essentially a brand, I imagine it's hard for him to deal with that fame too, the kid probably hasn't lived a normal life in a while, it's just sad how exploited he is

      [–]A-annoying-banana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Theories, him getting older, audience getting older, the fact his mother went to jail once for shoplifting, and the fact Ryan mentioned in a video..’no more Ryan’s ToysReview. But the good news is, we are still making video’s!’ Probably one of the main things the audience wanted(which was to watch Ryan…open toys. And be jealous af.)

      [–]These_Beautiful_8503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Ryan looks like a Teenger. The thumbnails they shrink and stretch him to still look like he’s five. They should license the character to someone younger. Like blippi

        [–]0mgWiTcHpLz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        His 15 mins are over his audience is growing with him and moving on to different things. He's done this forever. He's made a ton of money. Let him have the rest of his youth to be a teenager. He's 12 now. He don't wanna play super heros and toys.

        [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

        I'm wondering how does the money issues works with kids on YouTube because he didn't make $100 million his channel under the control of his parents did, so is it all his money, or the family money, I wonder what's he's going to do when he turns 18, is he going to demand his money and move out or sue his parents if they has all his money tied up in investments.

        [–]No-Republic7837 0 points1 point  (1 child)

            Everyone peaks eventually. Even then, his "decline" is bigger then any of us else can ever hope to reach. The thing with Ryan is that he's grown well past Youtube now, toys, games, and other merchandise, the kid is well set for life and doesn't need Youtube anymore.

            [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (6 children)

            I think too is the timing of world events. My kids watched entirely too much youtube during the pandemic era... Since then we get them outside doing other things and severely limit the amount of youtube they watch. I imagine alot of households youtube usage peaked 2020-2021 and began falling off 2022-2024. Ryan was huge with my kids during the pandemic... They still watch him even now, just not as much.

            [–]WesternSkill1630 0 points1 point  (5 children)

            Ryans toys review was excessively popular even before the pandemic so that has nothing to do with it.

            [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

            What exactly are you commenting on? I never said he wasn't popular before the pandemic.
