Nerds ,,,just apologized. All is fine Now! Stop hating ,already _

We need more videos!!!!

Do they really think that I'm gonna pay 6 bucks for every youtube channel I want to watch?? Or, do they think THEIR content is so much better that they deserve my 6 bucks over everyone else I watch for free? Imagine every single youtuber charged a $6 subscription.

At 9:39 when he goes "first we have to travel to the location itself" and they show a plane flying over what looks like it's gonna be a beach holiday 🤣🤣 Yeah I'm not paying for that 😑

Favorite intro lol

I echo the cat's sentiments. Yes, I know the language is a bit harsh, but when you're right, you're right.

New sub❤

I really wish I had gotten your video first. Apparently the algorithm is still feeding me reactions ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ Sub 424, your sass was spot on with one minor disagreement in opinion with me. I think they watched the numbers over the weekend of signups and RUclips subs and realized it would tank their business. This was apology or bankruptcy imo

The "eat the rich" people now understand why it's okay to be rich and wanting to stay that way. Sounds like the audience is warming up to capitalism with being okay with ads for "free "content.

Great commentary! I think the amount of success and money they were making made them completely unaware of how the “real world” their fans live in actually functions.

I was a big fan of Shane and Ryan, followed them from Buzzfeed to Watcher. While I'm on a limited income, I don't go out a lot, so my "fun money" often goes toward streaming services and things - the cost for me isn't necessarily the problem. I don't want to sign up for another site. I already choose to just not watch plenty of popular shows if they're not on steaming services I already have because I can't be bothered anymore to manage another subscription, another app, or to download another thing. I watched Alizee's video on this situation and she makes a full time living from RUclips and from her view, they have very advertiser friendly content and so I really feel like there is an issue of them overspending here - overhiring, doing big budget projects, etc, even though nobody asked for that, and now they are asking their subscribers to foot the bill.

You did great, I would of never guest you only have 200 subscribers. I've been listening to a lot of takes on this and yours is as good as any. Keep plugging away, you'll get there.

I wanted to see someone play a ukulele.

Ugh the sass??? Subscribed, liked video, bell rung! You were born for this lady!

Plus it literally came out of nowhere. No warning. No heads up.

About they sounding insincere, yeah, I totally get it. I know it's not a big deal, but as someone who doesn't like to distrust others, it feels weird that you never know when someone is lying (if they're not super obvious ofc). Like, if you had a keyword or something that could 100% prove you're being honest, the liars could just take it and use it too. All we can do is judge for ourselves if we believe them or not. (sorry for mistakes, english is my 2nd language) Great video btw, loved the intro <3

You are absolutely cut out for this! The only good that came out of this Watcher situation was finding your channel ❤️

To be honest, the earlier Puppet History episodes were much better than the newer, bloated production episodes.

Making about herself, a little bit? That last song was so cringe, im still trying to recover. I feel like you will be blowing up, good stuff.

I hate to say it but I definitely feel like they’re hiding something about the whole “relevant to advertisers” thing, they have some of the most tame content I’ve seen and I have no idea how they are struggling with sponsors. I literally watched a sponsored video last night where one of the ppl in said video PISSED THEMSELF FOR A JOKE 😭😭 If a joke like that can be in a sponsored video with no issues there is definitely something else going on here

hell yea subscriber 373

Oof. Creepy tbh.

new sub, excellent video! What I don't get is how you can be proud of employing 25 people on something as simple as making video's, ever: it only shows what level of moron they are (as does their asinine channel name)

Very very very good take. Youre not coming from a place of anger but logic and personal experience. I agree with everything youre saying. This move will be historic I think. I would postulate that they probably put themselves into debt with this streaming platform and need to recoup thr costs. But their fundamental flaw was not understanding their audience. They can make all the content they want to their artistic standards but is anyone willing to pay for it, especially when they key demographic is broke people used to getting their product for free.

Thanks for the coverage :). I'm glad to see a perspective from an actual fan, rather than someone just chiming in for clout. Could I recommend making the video a bit louder? It's quieter than everything else on my computer rn.

The saddest thing to me, except in the case of single moms, is that it always sounds like they just don't have a good and wholesome relationship with their husbands. Or like they just want to be adored blindly --

you're old and beat lol, I mean literally beat. you'll never make it on youtube, quit trying lol 337 subscribers, no one cares what you watch. watch watcher or not, literally no one cares

Hope you continue doing these or other kinds of video essays. I'd listen to you for hours.

You're voice is lovely btw

They had a countdown clock for dropping this announcement too. Thats pretty funny in itself given the reaction it garnered, which was pretty much last orders for the bar on the Titanic

This goes against the other videos you’ve made though. The boymoms didn’t ask for your negative criticism nor did the watcher channel but such is life I guess. World is full of hypocrisy.

I watch RUclips on my Tv... It's better than actual shows in my opinion. I don't pay for actual TV channels because so many people put out such great things to watch even if it's not TV level quality. Watcher was one of them... I will continue to watch since they back tracked now... but who knows what will come of their channel.

I have a hard time understanding why this is an issue. If they want to leave, and if one doesn't want to pay for the service, they don't pay.

I mean, I genuinely don't get what you want them to do. They apologized, what more do you want? Deleting the channel, never show themselves on the internet again? Do people not deserve a 2nd chance at anything. Fuck up once and be done with. Yeah, it's a pretty big fuck up, and I was pretty pissed off too but c'mon.

I love this 😂

I just feel like if they fired Steven, the proud to be friends with rac*sts dead weight who immediately damaged the vibe, that would be a really good way to immediately free up some finances. 💁‍♀️

I was wholly expecting a "we did it joe" from the intro

I never particularly liked Steven, but now I’ll never forget that his gold flake eating, tesla driving ass told us with total confidence that $6 a month to watch him travel around the world eating expensive food in the middle of a global recession, on the brink of WW3, was super affordable and worth it for everyone. Not in a million years, sir, read the damn room.

They come across as financially inept tbh

That intro? Automatic subscribe, yes ma’am

When I am one of your 300 spartans😌 Can't believe you're new, your content is great :)

One good thing to come out of the Watcher Goodbye RUclips video -- I'm finding all kinds of new-to-me creators saying things I like! I hope you figure out how to get your teaching credential -- you'll be great.

I can’t shake the feeling that important info is being withheld from us..this apology didn’t address the *real* reason why they made this horrible decision to begin with. I really feel they needed this to resolve some serious pressing financial issue & that’s why it was so hasty & not thought out whatsoever

The fact they loudly stated they wanted to double dip into their fans' wallets, I can't enjoy their content anymore. Plus, an apology that has "sorry we explained poorly" always sounds like "sorry you're stupid to understand what we meant." Least they apologized. The bar is in hell cause of the standard RUclipsr apology

Youre definitely cut out for this, great vid!

New sub here. Found you after the Watchocalypse 😅

You mentioned Eddy and Ted going to all the Margaritavilles! Yessssss

Came here for the Watcher tea, staying for your vibe Queen.
