Title is misleading. Views are down for the 49 "YouTube personalities" with >10 million subscribers. Views may well be increasing for other categories, such as smaller channels or channels run by television studios.

Rust produces statically linked binaries by default, while GCC and Clang default to dynamic linking. For a better comparison, pass `-static` to GCC/Clang, or pass `-C prefer-dynamic` to rustc.

On Linux, with dynamic linking:

  rustc: 8656 bytes
  clang: 6960 bytes
  gcc:   6688 bytes

Another part of the problem is that people feel that systemd is being forced on them (more so than the usual "my distro switched to X, so I'm stuck using X"). The major issue right now is systemd-logind, a replacement for the unmaintained ConsoleKit daemon which is used to manage login sessions. logind provides functionality that is necessary for modern desktop environments, but it's designed to work only with the systemd init daemon. GNOME in particular has been talking about adding a hard dependency on logind, and once that happens the only choice of init system for people running GNOME will be systemd.

obviously "some time" after Debian goes 100% systemd then Ubuntu will go systemd. Its only a matter of time, Debian being Ubuntu's upstream.

Ubuntu has been using their own init daemon, "upstart", since 2006. After Debian announced their plans to switch to systemd, Ubuntu announced that they would follow suit instead of continuing to use upstart.
