The Same YouTube Channels Have Predicted Imminent Collapse Every Week for Years
Sevives · reddit · 2026-10-22
A Reddit post mocks doom-mongering YouTube channels with a screenshot of Sasha Yanshin's new video, "The AI Bubble Is (Finally) Collapsing" — 432K views in four days, complete with a whiteboard chart redlining a 63% collapse probability.
The joke: certain channels have spent years declaring, week after week, that whatever people currently hate is about to collapse immediately — from the 2008 financial crisis to the AI bubble — with "IT'S OVER" thumbnails printing views the whole way down.
