You are partially wrong Anylist Amethyst. If you look at the amount of subscribers ricegum has, he has lost some. However, he has gained more views. But, a channel doesn't grow on views alone. It seems that his channel's growth from gaining new subscribers has stagnated. It has been stuck between 10.78 to 10.84 million subs for nearly a year. This started around the end of August 2018. If you compare it his channel's previous growth, it is very disappointing. Between July 2017 and July 2018, his channel grew by over 4 million new subscribers. However, between July 2018 and today, he only gained about 400 thousand subs which is much less than it was before. So in conclusion, I believe it is safe to say that ricegum is no longer relevant to newer audiences. Perhaps his constant controversies he has may be a reason why it makes potential new subscribers decide to watch something else.
