Why are many Nikon users on Youtube leaving NIKON?
Who cares what other folks do or do not do?
Followers think and talk about problems. Leaders think and talk about camera brands.

That would be solved with a lens change

First question is "Are they really?" How do you know many are switching, and how many?
If true, I would tend to assume that since YouTube is video, a lot of people may be finding equipment better suited to the type of video they do. Are these people ditching Nikon for Sony video cameras? Cameras you can pop on a tripod and let run for an hour show?
Do Nikon batteries last for an afternoon running around the park interviewing dog owners?

So that's two. Still not "many".

Because "I'm sticking with what I have" doesn't generate as many views on YouTube. Announcing a switch of brand makes a more alluring video. And then there's the matter of monetary gain through sponsorship, affiliated links and the like. Switching brands can be a very lucrative move for these YouTube photography "experts".
Success in photography is changing from brand to brand without going bankrupt.
Doesn't it take the same time, money, travel, absence of sleep, stress, and concentration to take a series of photos and/or videos with a cheaper camera and lenses as it does with a higher quality contemporary system that will likely allow a photographer to "raise the bar" and capture a theme or project in which to take pride for years to come?

Too funny... hobbyist believe they can establish their persona through the brand they purchase...
Not much unlike many purchase their cars as a social statement of "class"
Commercial shooters establish their persona i.e. perceived worth through the quality of their imagery...
Not seeing many commercial shooters on UHH...
So the inverse of this query is "Why are so many commercial photographers leaving UHH?"
If true, the answer is obvious. Troll-triggered threads similar to this one.
