Feels like viewership is down for a variety of reasons.

I think this is a good reason. In 2010 they had like 25 years of games to speed run and they were pulling from a time period where games had more glitches/things to abuse. While there are plenty of games that have come out since then that get run, there are fewer and fewer truly new/novel things each year.

Also it doesn't help that they've started filling out a lot of content throughout the year. I feel like YouTube recommends me a lot of random runs happening off schedule.

I think this has far more of an impact than "the hosts are too cringe-y and safe now". Internet humor has changed a lot since 2010. I don't think there's actually a huge contingent of people who matter who are like "I miss the days when we used to spam 'jailbait' in the chat every time character X was on screen and I will not be watching this year since they got rid of it".
