It’s not just him though it’s lots of channels reporting issues. So clearly no, it’s not as a result of the controversies, at least not exclusively.
Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership

I’m sure declining viewers has nothing to do with the various controversies such as auctioning off prototypes, rushed reviews with misleading or false conclusions, mistreating staff etc. Channels like Gamers Nexus really laid into him.

That’s was months ago though, and the drop is recent. Why would people leave months after the controversies happened?
It’s also suddenly happening to most large YouTubers at the same time, so doesn’t seem related to any of them in particular.

This is what happens when people only read the headline and don’t actually watch the video. It’s quite clearly affecting all content creators.
