from what i heard from some of them is that they were told weeks prior that there was going to be a hiatus and a warning of cancellation but they all hoped for a hiatus instead. then found out over a week ago that the show is being cancelled. that's how things go in business, it sucks, but it is business.
@dan dodge yet you are here, watching, giving your time to people on the internet that don't really necessarily mean anything to you...just saying... oh and i do not have a lot to do today so i have time to waste....
im so sad about sourcefed, not only because so many amazing and talented people just got kicked in the face but also because sourcefed was one of the first youtube channels i was really interested in and kept up with :( i hope everyone who worked there is doing ok (and you as well reina!!)
And when Anime Club was cancelled I stopped watching overall. They had the best content and kept throwing it all away to replace it with bad content. I liked the opinions, thoughts and ideas on TV shows, Anime, and Movies and that got replaced for scripted content.
I really appreciate you posting this video, Reina. And I hope a lot of the SF/SFN/PBL/SPF fans watch it because it's therapeutic to hear one of the hosts expressing their anger. Everyone (I'm assuming because of NDA's and such) are just talking about how sad and disappointed they are. You're the first one to actually say "Wait, hold on, this situation sucks for so many reasons and I'm mad at those reasons." Anger is just as valid as the regret, and the disappointment, and sadness. Thank you for sharing these feelings with us, and with so much class.
Phil has spoken as much as he can, but you have to remember that he wasnt involved in any way. He had zero control over SF and the other channels, as he sold them years ago to discovery. He has sort of alluded to potentially speaking more later, but that it would be unprofessional of him to speak about it know.
He kept it very matter-of-factly for "legal reasons" according to himself. I'm not positive what legal reasons those are. He mainly expressed how proud he was of that project and of the talented people there. And he had to point out that he isn't just saying that, he also means it.
She's also probably the only person not under any form of contract or agreement that is related to the matter, being that she left before they were cancelled.
For me it was seeing all of these crazy talented people get told essentially "its not good enough". It's super discouraging from a creative standpoint for me personally because even if you can get up to a point where you have all these subscribers and views and community built around you, someone can come in and say its not good enough to continue on. Being in the financial field I understand from a business standpoint most of what went down it just sucks all around. Objectively they deserved so many more views daily then they were getting and the show really was on an upswing when they were cut down. SourceFed and its related channels were a part of my daily routine for 5 years. I'm about to turn 25 and I've been through some major changes so SourceFed was there during some pretty formative years of my life. Seeing it go is kind of like seeing a treasured TV show go but even more intense because SF posted nearly every day several times a day with no real breaks.
Resenese they may have bin on an up tick but that's not much considering the steady drop that they've had over the past 2-3 years. For myself I've bin watching since they started and stuck with it when they replaced a few people then it was only Steve and I dropped sourcefed and was only watching sourcefed nerd and then reina leaving was the last straw for me and I dropped that too.
Honestly!! So everyone got ONE week to not only adjust to the fact that an era is ending but also they immediately have to think about the future in a terrifyingly uncertain way and find new jobs? One week? Unfaaaaaair.
Hard for me to fathom that it's even legal.. Here you get at the very minimum 2 weeks notice if you're let go, but when it's basically an entire company like this was, we're talking 1-2 months notice. And severance packages would be handed out to compensate the employees equal to 6 months work I think. At least when it's on the decision of a parent company like this.
Didn't cry about the shows being canceled until I watched the final live stream..When Lee and Steve sang....I just sobbed and laughed and sobbed some more....5 years man.... just sucks :(
Alexandre Well basically Group Nine Media, did a merger, in late 2016, couple months later they abruptly cancel SourceFed. This is a very brief description however, I don't believe anyone has too much better to offer there was really no information given about the details of the cancellation probably due to contracts and agreements.
Sorry to hear about the problems you and your friends experienced with SourceFed. I don't know what is happening recently, but shit is really hitting the fan with everything lately.
I am in denial! I refuse to watch anything about Sourcefed closing (almost). Any day now they will tell us all it was just a poorly timed April fools joke and will resume normal programming.
Reina Scully I thought I was done crying, but then you brought all the emotions back to the surface. Don't think I'll truly be done for a few weeks yet. I legit cried when I saw your video about leaving Sourcefed, (and when Maude left) and now it's like that but x40.
Reina Scully Is there anything else you can say about SuperPanicFrenzy I was a big fan of the channel from the start when they would tease it at the start of Phil's show
I was searching through youtube for Phil Defranco vids and yours popped up. I'm not sure who you are, because I was never into Sourcefed, but I'm sorry for all you and all your friends.
Matt Sawyer she's one of the previous host on SF/SFN. Reina and Steven Suptic made a spinoff gaming channel called Super Panic Frenzy and got canceled like a year ago. After that she left and work for Cruncyroll
Matt Sawyer SourceFed being shut down isn't Phil's fault. He sold those companies and the new parent company decided to shut it down. So I'm gonna say that homeboy saying Phil is trash is just opinion lol
ThatGuyWhoHides I know that but that doesn't mean he isn't in any form associated with SF. Up until a month ago, looks like they were in the same building.
I can't even fathom the idea of not seeing the Sourcefed team all working together. The hosts. The producers. The editors. Everyone. It just seemed liked, for the first time in a long while, Sourcefed was on its way up and getting better and better with each new episode, segment and podcast. And as much as I was iffy about the new hosts, especially after Maude and you left, I really have come to adore them and all of their quirks. As much as I loved and treasured this last week--that was filled with some dope as highlights--I just...can't.
Ikr...I didn't watch sourcefed but I do watch Phil and other related channels and such, and it's crazy to think of an office without all of them. I just imagine them as a part of that environment, it's gonna be real strange without it
I watched the whole live stream last night and cried a lot. They are all amazing. I have subscribed to everyone's channel and have been watching their videos. Ava probably said it best, they were just getting over a hurdle and they did it and didn't have enough time to let them shine. Everyone always talked about how they weren't Lee or Elliot or Joe or Trisha, but there were themselves and that was more than enough. I wish nothing but the best for them all. I'll miss the laughs.
I just recently stumbled upon the sourcefed stuff after watching vids on Maude's geekbomb channel, really great content and funny hosts from Sam, Maude, Steve, Will, Bree, Leiberman, Suptic, Whitney, Mike, many others and of course yourself, so many great things on the channel like the anime club, table talk and the random games, now I know what D&D is and how to play it because of the nerd crew, I am now a certain fan of this channel, I just realised I see you when I watch Dragon Ball Super on Crunchyroll in the intro ads which is great, such a great platform for discovering new anime just like this channel
You don't need to apologise Reina, you have every right to vent. I think it's a really nice thing that you've spoken up about all the talented people that have been affected by a super shitty decision.
Exactly! They SHOULD have come up with a better solution. What was the point of buying and merging the channel if they couldn't afford to keep it going?!
Keeping channel on the life support is bad business. Of course the other solution was to layoff 50% of employees or cut their salary, im sure people wouldn't complain about that...oh wait.
I felt like such a loser when I went to work after hearing about the cancellation & I just felt so down. Like why is this affecting me so much? But I guess they feel like my friends too. :/ 💛
I'm really glad someone finally got real about SourceFed ending, it just came out of nowhere and it was so heartbreaking watching that last live stream. My oldest brother and I always watched sourcefed together and the videos made me so happy. Thanks for this video Reina! Take the time you need, we'll be here when you're ready
I think SF going is such a seismic thing for everyone who has been involved. And it is deviating that so many people are getting left with nothing, or it seeming like nothing. I've followed everyone and can't wait to see what else they do.
The sourcefed hosts should keep doing the SFpodcast (or a new one) and do a video or 2 a month with help from SF crew, all supported through patreon. That way sourcefed will never die!!
It's the Blum-Fox Any thing Sourcefed is property of the company that bought them shut down sourcefed and from what I understand several other channels. (Group9 or some shit like that) any they've nixed using the SourceFed name or resource for anything....
Seems like this shit came out of nowhere. Maybe I'm just out of the loop but first I heard of this was on Philly D's channel. I had to DIG to find out anything about one of my favorite channels was just "oh by the way, we are done...BYE!!!" This sucks.
Discovery has owned all of SourceFed and other shows on RUclips for a while and they dismantled them all to form 'Group Nine' which is backed by certain agendas (you can tell from seeker stories' new show). It seems Discovery isn't after profit (I think someone from SourceFed was saying that they were on an uphill during their last days). So who knows what Discovery is trying to do with this new 'Group Nine'.
The live stream was so great and I felt it was everything we all needed, it didn't really hit me until the morning. I almost feel bad about being sad because while I (like many others) have lost a channel I loved watching multiple times a week, I didn't just publicly and suddenly lose my job. I watched those videos and laughed and loved but I didn't spend my days there or have a true personal connection with everyone. The amazingly talented men, women and smooth chicken boys that we owe our last 5 years to deserve so much more than they got.
I see where you're coming from, Reina. These were, are, A-List people, wonderfully talented and constantly enjoyable, not just through their work, but as people. It was really surprising, at least for me, that even though the era finished, holy shit 40 people, good working nice people, lost their jobs at the snap of a finger. I don't think anyone really believed it would finish, but everything good comes to an end. On the plus side, they are extremely talented, surely they'll find more opportunities with the skills and relationships they made on the channel! Anyway, that's my two cents, Love ya' Daddy-Senpai!!
I don't think the worst thing about SourceFed getting cancelled is people losing their jobs. Because as we all know, that situation will not last long, they are all extremely talented to a point that I personally take inspiration for my own work just by watching their videos. They are all amazing at what they do, from host to producers, from cameramen to writers; everyone... The worst part is they are losing "that amazing working environment". I'm not talking about us, watchers, not having the SF experience anymore, all of us will find something new to get fanboy about (heck, some people will refuse to let SF go for a long time and keep watching all old videos over and over, like me); no, I'm talking about losing that great place to get up every morning and go, all the hard work those people put into the videos for years, and endless opportunities to come. That is the part that sucks for them. I wish I could say "I'm going to keep being fan of all those people and watch everything they make no matter where they go", but I'm a realist. I'm just going to say that I'm extremely happy that I had the chance to experience every beautiful thing along the way. Hope the best for all of them. Keep rocking SF people.
These days it's so tough to get a decent job in the production business that's not seasonal, part time or daily-hire. Yes, the people at SourceFed are very talented...but in today's market, you're almost better off starting your own business.
More than likely a large amount will have to migrate into work they don't want to do just so they can pay the rent. That is what happened to a lot of people I knew in video games and animation industry when they got laid off. Most careers in these types of industries are very short lived.
I cried during the Final Sourcefed livestream last night. Also just realized my phone's autocomplete suggests Sourcefed before any other word when I type S. ;-;
yeah totally feel you atm, I had this nagging feeling during the livestream: They summed up all these memories, and I truly believe the cast and crew dealt with this the way they deal with most things in life; with humor. I was genuinly happy and laughing during the livestream but when I saw Ava and Audrey cry it hit me, it really was the last time I would see all of them together like that. Man i`m gonna miss it. And all the promises that comes with following them all on social media, but it will probably never be the same with the production and editing. Ah, kinda felt good to speak out about it.
Shelby Hayes, I know what ya mean but I think they did that more for a "keeping everyone positive" bit. It could easily have been a six hour stream of bitching about how unfair the cancellation was instead of a final reminder of how fun and unique of a channel they had.
think it was a bit for everyone to keep going you can think negative go no where with those emotions or think positive and one door closes another one opens
this is so sad. I never watched much sourcefed, but I saw most of you on Philly D and how much you all were family. I'm so sorry for all of you, but I know you're all going to great places.
Chris Caviness - Ironically, i got hardcore dumped the day they posted the "last week" vid. It's been a depressing week in a lot of regards for errybody. but yea, i can say that dealing with sourcefed ending has been harder than the break up lol
I'm absolutely devastated about SourceFed. I have been watching for a long time, and I seriously thought there was no way it would ever go away. I feel so fucking stupid now for thinking that, and I'm filled to the brim with guilt. I hadn't been watching much of SF the last year because I've been going through life-altering changes, and I just didn't have time. I thought SF would be fine, I loved the new hosts, and I stupidly thought they didn't need my support. I was wrong, I should have been watching and I should have commented my support for the new hosts. I know that SF ending isn't entirely my fault, but I can't stop feeling guilty... I'm so sorry.
I'm pretty sure that someone who had sent in a response video for a different show (Movie Club) contacted SF saying that they wanted their image private and so to respect that person's wishes and to preemptively protect themselves and other people they made all the videos with viewer responses private.
I'm totally with you Reina. It's totally bullshit how SourceFed got cancelled just out of the blue... Whatever company owned it, made the WORST decision they could have ever made... Especially since they didn't even think about keeping on the team! I really hope that maybe they all just get together and start their own thing! Philly D would probably help them out and all. I'm going to miss them so much :c
It's good to vent and a video like this is valuable. I want to say that I got back from my first trip to Japan yesterday and your content was the most valuable stuff I watched (which competition was stiff) before and during my trip; I can't wait to go back. Thank you.
I can't imagine how you feel. I'm sad and angry and I never worked there, I never met any of these people. Still, I care for every single person that worked there and it pisses me off that I won't get to see them in a single place again, that I won't be able to check in with them daily. It really is the end of an era :(
SOURCEFED and SourcefedNerd were the two channels I spent the most time watching over the past 5 years. I really felt like as the channel grew, so did I. No matter what kind of day I was having, they were always there and im honestly devastated about it all. I am behind you one hundred percent, could this not have been handled better? Was there no other way? It's just... heartbreaking...
SF, SFN, SPF and PBL videos were always there to cheer me up and just make my day better. I'd laugh and cry and even though i live on the other side of the world, i dreamt of seeing a live show and meeting you guys one day. It's so upsetting that something important to so many people was just cancelled. I'm sad and mad especially because everyone working there was fucked over. The editors and production team were amazing and all the hosts made me feel like it was alright and even cool to really nerd out and love what i love and I learnt so much over the past 5 years. SourceFed was full of so much talent, genuine passion and potential and I wish for the best for everyone that was a part of it. Thank you guys
So surprised that there wasn't more to the story there. I heard the cancellation rumors last weekend and thought "surely they'll just downsize and rework the channel before scrapping everything." So wrong. So fucked.
THANK YOU I have been Raging for days cause all these people lost their FUCKING JOBS. They are all amazing and they just lost their home and the place where their family stays. Like I want to find the people that pulled the trigger and give then what for. Like WTF
I love how genuine you are in this video. I assume a video like the one with many former hosts could only happen because there is genuine love for SourceFed and the people there, which warms my heart. Also, many of the first comments I saw about the cancellation were people who asked whether the SF people would be okay, what will happen to them now and how long ago was their notice? They were rather enraged by the fact this all happened to people so fast. The audience identifies the most with hosts, but I definitely noticed that many cared about the people more than they cared losing the content they provided. I don't know if there was another solution for this, but I don't think anyone at Discovery can, given what we know, fault us for at the very least feeling like this entire thing is unfair. I also don't know if venting ever helps with anything, but hopefully it will help to know that we hear you, Reina, and we defintely understand and share your feelings.
SPF is what brought me to SF. You and Suptic have great chemistry. The video where you psychoanalyzed Suptic's personality was amazing. It seemed like you didn't even have to try to be funny, ya'll just were.
Same. Saw the SPF crossover with Funhaus, then somewhere else I saw Steven and Reina in the "Straight White Boy Texts" series, fell in love with Steven (full homo), and started watching SPF. Only started watching other SF content due to constantly seeing it in my recommendations.
Thank you for posting this. I have watched SourceFed since it was just a teaser trailer. When I heard the news my first thought was exactly what you are saying - what about the crew? All those amazingly talented people. I want to cry thinking about it. We know they will succeed but this still sucks
Reina, Thank you for saying this, I agree absolutely, laying off your entire workforce on a week's notice is monumentally cunty. I do have one question: From an outsider's perspective, it appeared that Philip DeFranco's Sourcefed and Discovery Networks' Sourcefed felt like completely different places. Was this the case? If so, how did it feel different being there?
Sourcefed has been a daily part of my life since the day it launched, and to see it suddenly ripped from all the people that loved it so dearly is heartbreaking. I have grown up watching the hosts, and they picked me up with their silly antics countless times through the years. Thank you Reina for your realness and vulnerability through sharing the crazy mix of emotions you're experiencing. It's times like this when supporting each other is so incredibly important! The only choice now is to look at the situation in positive light. Bigger and better things for everyone at Sourcefed! Hope you start feeling better Reina! P.S. Boys only club is amazing you and Supdick are perfect.
I only started watching just as you left. I didn't have the kind of attachment to the channel the people who watched from the beginning did, but the reason I felt so bad was because you could see in everyone's eyes during the livestream the same kind of look people get at the end of summer camp or graduation; heartbreak and hopelessness. You know things are going to be fine in the future but you've been denying the end of this time with the people you love as long as you can and now you're wondering if there's anything you could've done to make it last longer. That's the part that hurt.
MolotovBurner100 there last video was posted today i follow william haynes on snap chat and i saw all the sound proof foam was torn off the wall i doubt they would do that for a joke
Reiiiiiinnnnaaaaaa thank you for posting this. u can't imagine how hard this is for you and everyone else. i already miss SF and all the talented people. (i subbed to everyone individually that I hadn't before) thank you for being honest. 💖💖💖
Thank you for making this video; I stopped watching SourceFed a while ago because I didn't feel the content was fresh or exciting but enjoyed some of the characters, you included.
Not everything has to be positive. The fact that you still put out content that is real makes people come back and care for you as well as the community. Life is not always great but doing this can at least show that people who feel like this aren't alone. You're awesome and I can't wait to see what everyone does because there is so much talent in the free agency of creatives now. Lol
I have been so depressed as well... Tearing up every 'last of this video' video. All week long... 3-26 is my birthday (tomorrow) and all I wanna do is drink and cry. I can't do that, but I want to. I have grown attached to each of them. Even the behind the scenes people, due to all of the random videos that went everywhere showing everyone and parts of their personality. I have started following all of you on all the areas that I can like Twitter and their own channels. I hope that great things come quickly to all of them. Like you found your way pretty quickly. I watched the live stream yesterday and was just crying my eyes out near the end. Thank you for making this video, I don't know why but I kinda felt like I was the only one that felt this way.
I remember when I first discovered Sourcefed in about early December by accident while watching "try not to laugh" videos on RUclips and I came across Sourcefed try not to laugh challenge part 2 in the suggestions. and then I discovered when Reina was in the part 1 video. sorry and sad to see the amazing channel go. I really wish I had discovered Sourcefed sooner, it sounds like you guys had an absolute BLAST over the years!! hope all the guys find new jobs they can enjoy just as much as they did on Sourcefed
glad to know you actually cared when SPF ended cause at the time I feel like you and Steven kept it to yourselves cause of legal issues and such and felt kinda abandoned on the topic since I loved the show being there when it was first announced and watching every single video on release not just cause I loved all the content but cause I genuinely like you and Steve anyways, best of wishes, stay well Reina
Can someone tell me why in every Sourcefed members "no more sourcefed" personal channel videos they aren't mentioning the company that shut them down and putting them on blast?
I don't know. I imagine depending on who owns the company rules change. I've never been involved in a buyout so I don't know. If I had to guess I would say existing cast/ behind scenes had to sign to keep their job, but anyone new probably had to sign before coming on.
Sending love your way Reina. I've been a fan of the PDS, Source Fed and Source Fed Nerd since the beginning and while I'm hurt to see it go, I feel like Will said in his video; just excited to see what the future holds for you guys.
Thank you for making this video cause I feel the same way. And the worst part was I have still not even seen a video about Phil explaining what went wrong or why everything had to be canceled. I'm gonna look again after this. But I still have all the posters I bought on my wall and I still have all the great and amazing memories. Someone on one of the videos called it a hiatus and I'm hoping that's all it is and someday it all comes back. All I can say to you is I'm so sorry about all your friends. But they will come back from this :)
I'm glad someone that was from SF is voicing what us the fan were all thinking. T_T Also I'm sure people with crunchyroll understood how hard it would be to bring your A game being their part of the yt community because in reality this is a be wake up to other shows that it all can end in a blink of an eye for bs reasons. Just know we here for you senpai!!!!! You need to be mad or sad we gots you!
Oh my God! This os what the last 2-3 years of my life have been like: 1st. I finally get into all of the SF channels and start loving it. 2nd. One of my favorite RUclipsrs (Suptic) starts an awesome gaming channel with one of my fav SF stars (Ringus). 3rd. My super shitty Photoshop of Reina as a giraffe is featured on SPF. 4th. That glorious channel ends and Reiner them Maude leaves. 5th. When things start to slowly come back and bee okay (even old segments start to come back), BOOM! Big daddy SF is hit with the cancel. This is some rotten cheese, man. I will everyone the best of luck.
I've been watching SF since day one and I'm devastated. I mean, I was sad when Lee, Joe, Elliot, and you left, but at least I knew you all were moving on to other opportunities. With this, I just feel so upset that these talented people I want to support... liken there's really nothing I can do. And I won't get to see them working together anymore, which was one of the greatest things. I hope everything works out for everyone, and I'll be following as closely as possible and supporting in any way I can as opportunities arise. I'm happy I'll get to enjoy your podcast with Suppy!
I really hate that it was camcelled. Been a fan of sourcfed since the start, and this news came out of nowhere and hit hard. live stream of the final episode went on for hours. and I just hoped that they would not stop. They are all super talented, as are you. It was thanks to that channel that I subscribed to you, and follow Steve, and Meg, and Trish, and Joe, and Lee....etc. The new cast too. I hope everyone continues to create and hopefully collaborate. Sourcefed ended, but all of you are still relevant and will create. so it's not an end, it's a change. Graduation. That talent will be fine. Behind the scenes guys too. Thank you for everything Reina. Enjoy Japan already!
This whole situation is so confusing and such bullshit. I understand that they're cancelling things because of budget, but these also aren't TV shows. You're cancelling 4 youtube channels, but they don't just go away. They just sit there, including all of the content made before discovery bought the whole thing. RUclips is a different animal all together. I thought it was such bullshit when superpanicfrenzy was stopped. Maybe I don't have enough of an understanding of how this is all supposed to work, and I understand that paying for all of the staff, the space, etc is what it came down to. It's just that while everyone knows Discovery was technically the owner, the content wasn't theirs; the people weren't theirs. Again, I know they own the rights and bought the channels, and they don't have the emotional attachment nor do they care, but it was here before discovery and it should be able to continue without it. It's a privilege to be able to work with such hilarious and talented people. It's such garbage that they think they can throw away something that wasn't wholly theirs to begin with. Basically, fuck them.
It was there before discovery because Phil was paying for it out of pocket once the money from google quickly dried up. Now there's no one around to actually fund it.
Oh absolutely, and the pragmatic side of me understands that Discovery was the reason that SourceFed got to continue doing what they did. The sentimental side of me is thinking about how RUclips was done before all of these big companies got involved. I guess it's more like this was uniquely theirs before discovery came along, and that it should go back to them, if they could figure out how to get the funding. Obviously it's the funding of it that's the biggest issue.
Frankly I feel like boycotting any and all Group Nine shit. I'm angry and sad. I didn't know all of you in real life but through the videos it felt like you were good friends of mine.
Honestly, that's the best thing we can all do. Anyone who watched for a long time feels like the hosts are good friends, and I think we all really want to defend them. Group 9 fucked us, and they fucked the channels. to me that is more than enough to be cause to boycott.
Emily B. sourcefed wasnt profitable...they arnt a charity. u want the company to lose tons of money year after year so you can be slightly entertained for 6 min a day?
I hope that a channel like Sourcefed comes into existence. The videos always made me so happy. Everyone was such great friends and they lost the job that so many people would consider their best job. It's sad that it had to end and it's so much more sad about how it ended.
thanks Reina for a honest video. I'm really devestated too. To be honest, what hooked me to SourcefedNerd was watching you and Will do AnimeClub. From there I just started binging everything and been thru the ups and downs for I think 4 years. Actually, watching Sourcefed(and many other channels like RT) made me change my major into a Telemedia major. Its hard and expensive making content so I can totally relate, and since im starting in the ground up to build my portfolio I have to be my own producer, director, editor, script writer and all that jazz. It was a stupid dream but I was actually hoping on building my portfolio and submitting it to Discovery and other companies and actually work with everybody. I'm super bummed that everything went the way it did but we just need to keep on truckin.
Don't feel bad about not making any Japan videos, as long as you're happy we're happy. So please just make sure you get yourself sorted and have some fun!
Love you Reina! This touched me. I’ll always remember our adventures together.. from England, to photoshoots to how you FOUGHT to get me on that plane to Japan, which was one of the best experiences of my life. Theres no way around the shitty-ness of the situation, but at least for me, I’m starting to be at least a little less sad and just so so SO thankful for the opportunity to have met and worked with folks like you. Love you dear :)
I remember when I first found Sourcefed and Sourcefed Nerd. I was so happy. You guys were and are funny and nice. My favorite thing was the table talks. I loved hearing all of the stories. You guys were such a family and I hate to see the channels canceled. 😢 I'll really miss all of them.
![Blox Fruits Dragon Rework Update [Full Stream]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/EqDAp8udhm0/mqdefault.jpg)
I feel what Reina said about being mad. The truth is so many fucking amazing people lost their jobs. It's devastating to someone who's only a fan.
And the fact they all JUST found out they were out of a job. They should have been given at least a month's notice that this was going to happen.
It's bullshit that it happened. I agree! A months notice would've been great for us and for everyone working there :/
from what i heard from some of them is that they were told weeks prior that there was going to be a hiatus and a warning of cancellation but they all hoped for a hiatus instead. then found out over a week ago that the show is being cancelled. that's how things go in business, it sucks, but it is business.
"Amazing people"= awful children who make clickbait instead of getting real jobs
@dan dodge yet you are here, watching, giving your time to people on the internet that don't really necessarily mean anything to you...just saying... oh and i do not have a lot to do today so i have time to waste....
im so sad about sourcefed, not only because so many amazing and talented people just got kicked in the face but also because sourcefed was one of the first youtube channels i was really interested in and kept up with :( i hope everyone who worked there is doing ok (and you as well reina!!)
This was so raw and made it finally click for me that SF is really ending. :(
Anime club was the first thing I watched on sourcefed. Thank you for existing.
Same.
And when Anime Club was cancelled I stopped watching overall. They had the best content and kept throwing it all away to replace it with bad content. I liked the opinions, thoughts and ideas on TV shows, Anime, and Movies and that got replaced for scripted content.
When did they have that? I stopped watching when joe elliot and two of the other hosts stopped appearing.
Right when the original cast left.
Me too
wow reina. thank you for being so genuine and cutting through the bs.
I really appreciate you posting this video, Reina. And I hope a lot of the SF/SFN/PBL/SPF fans watch it because it's therapeutic to hear one of the hosts expressing their anger. Everyone (I'm assuming because of NDA's and such) are just talking about how sad and disappointed they are. You're the first one to actually say "Wait, hold on, this situation sucks for so many reasons and I'm mad at those reasons." Anger is just as valid as the regret, and the disappointment, and sadness. Thank you for sharing these feelings with us, and with so much class.
Danielle Saints Has Phil spoken anything about the cancellation yet?
redblackshirt he has made a few vids up until but i dont know about after
Phil has spoken as much as he can, but you have to remember that he wasnt involved in any way. He had zero control over SF and the other channels, as he sold them years ago to discovery. He has sort of alluded to potentially speaking more later, but that it would be unprofessional of him to speak about it know.
Idk if you know business Reina? XD
she bad.
He kept it very matter-of-factly for "legal reasons" according to himself. I'm not positive what legal reasons those are.
He mainly expressed how proud he was of that project and of the talented people there. And he had to point out that he isn't just saying that, he also means it.
Can't buzzfeed just be cancelled instead
Kyle Edwards - Williams THIS
lmao
True that 💔
Did you see Suppy's vlog when that woman mentions BuzzFeed? LOL
bummer videos need love too. glad you could be real for a minute
Now my Christmas will be less interesting because no more Santa Steve
i didnt even thimk about that! No More Santa Steve ]:
Tedious Totoro NO MORE SANTA STEVE 😭😭😭😭😭
This was one of my main grievances. so sad.
Mmmmmmm mmmmmmmm, [no] Santa. T_T
whats the point in buying a growing company just to fire everyone that made it grow
Joel Sweatman exactly.
Joel Sweatman I haven't really kept up with all the sourcefed stuff but who got fired??
The channel got cancelled
The ones that built it up
Joel Sweatman True ,Sourcefeed is trash!
This is literally the only video about the end of SF/SFN that seems honest.
She's also probably the only person not under any form of contract or agreement that is related to the matter, being that she left before they were cancelled.
you should watch Suptic's, it's really frank as well and he says why he thinks it got cancelled.
Ditto, Soft Chicken Boy is one of the most genuine youtubers, imo.
Cale Crowe I agree
well did you see Ava's video about it? that one seemed pretty truth to heart to me.
That's the main thing that pissed me off the most, it's how all those people lost their jobs and all they got is a weeks notice
All those talented people have a great opportunity to create something new and wonderful, why should anybody be pissed.
Welcome to the work force. You come into work and you realized your whole company fired everyone and moved or went under.
+Kan Biiru It only works that way in the U.S
For me it was seeing all of these crazy talented people get told essentially "its not good enough". It's super discouraging from a creative standpoint for me personally because even if you can get up to a point where you have all these subscribers and views and community built around you, someone can come in and say its not good enough to continue on. Being in the financial field I understand from a business standpoint most of what went down it just sucks all around. Objectively they deserved so many more views daily then they were getting and the show really was on an upswing when they were cut down.
SourceFed and its related channels were a part of my daily routine for 5 years. I'm about to turn 25 and I've been through some major changes so SourceFed was there during some pretty formative years of my life. Seeing it go is kind of like seeing a treasured TV show go but even more intense because SF posted nearly every day several times a day with no real breaks.
Resenese they may have bin on an up tick but that's not much considering the steady drop that they've had over the past 2-3 years. For myself I've bin watching since they started and stuck with it when they replaced a few people then it was only Steve and I dropped sourcefed and was only watching sourcefed nerd and then reina leaving was the last straw for me and I dropped that too.
Then don't sell out to a network. This is how YT networks behave.
Resenese I think this is part of it. I also think that merger was done to remove sourcefed.
Honestly!! So everyone got ONE week to not only adjust to the fact that an era is ending but also they immediately have to think about the future in a terrifyingly uncertain way and find new jobs? One week?
Unfaaaaaair.
Rachel Amidon That's life. But like she said they will easily find a job. I learned to always have a plan b.
Rachel Amidon they got two weeks notice we just only got one.
Hard for me to fathom that it's even legal.. Here you get at the very minimum 2 weeks notice if you're let go, but when it's basically an entire company like this was, we're talking 1-2 months notice. And severance packages would be handed out to compensate the employees equal to 6 months work I think. At least when it's on the decision of a parent company like this.
Rachel Amidon discover/group nine is a fucking disgusting company for this
Life's not fair, and if you're somebody who's a bottom feeding clickbait generator, you get what you deserve sometimes.
Didn't cry about the shows being canceled until I watched the final live stream..When Lee and Steve sang....I just sobbed and laughed and sobbed some more....5 years man.... just sucks :(
I agree with you. It's not just that sourcefed got cancelled but the way it was handled was inconsiderate
What happened? Someone fill me in on why SourceFed was shut down.
Alexandre Well basically Group Nine Media, did a merger, in late 2016, couple months later they abruptly cancel SourceFed. This is a very brief description however, I don't believe anyone has too much better to offer there was really no information given about the details of the cancellation probably due to contracts and agreements.
Innominate yeah Philip DeFranco mentioned it. I tried looking it up but didn't find anything.
guts the demon slayer no he's not. Phil's just as pissed about it,but he can't speak about,because he was the boss of everyone at sourcefed.
SourceFed was literally my favorite channel to watch along with Super panic frenzy
When I heard the news it felt like a huge empty hole in my heart
Sorry to hear about the problems you and your friends experienced with SourceFed.
I don't know what is happening recently, but shit is really hitting the fan with everything lately.
Reina Scully we love you
I am in denial! I refuse to watch anything about Sourcefed closing (almost). Any day now they will tell us all it was just a poorly timed April fools joke and will resume normal programming.
Reina Scully I thought I was done crying, but then you brought all the emotions back to the surface. Don't think I'll truly be done for a few weeks yet. I legit cried when I saw your video about leaving Sourcefed, (and when Maude left) and now it's like that but x40.
Reina Scully Is there anything else you can say about SuperPanicFrenzy I was a big fan of the channel from the start when they would tease it at the start of Phil's show
I was watching the live stream and was just crying so much 😭 and it annoyed me aswell that such beautiful and talented people lost their jobs
smileyy rachyy Same here, cried a lot :(
Buddhist Chick it was just so sad 😔
The send off from the livestream was really rough to watch. I was so sad :(
smileyy rachyy why does it matter if they are beautiful, do u want bad things to happen to ugly people
Alex Ruiz wait are you joking or what? 😂
I was searching through youtube for Phil Defranco vids and yours popped up. I'm not sure who you are, because I was never into Sourcefed, but I'm sorry for all you and all your friends.
Matt Sawyer she's one of the previous host on SF/SFN. Reina and Steven Suptic made a spinoff gaming channel called Super Panic Frenzy and got canceled like a year ago. After that she left and work for Cruncyroll
jim richardson is that based on facts or just your opinion?
Matt Sawyer SourceFed being shut down isn't Phil's fault. He sold those companies and the new parent company decided to shut it down. So I'm gonna say that homeboy saying Phil is trash is just opinion lol
Finally someone has the negative side to all of this. I'm sick of hearing all the positives. Thank u. I needed this.
They probably couldn't do it legally.
Even Phil was saying he couldn't say anything on the matter, so I imagine there is some sort of contact, or agreement.
Innominate Phil hasn't been involved or apart of source fed for a long time
ThatGuyWhoHides I know that but that doesn't mean he isn't in any form associated with SF. Up until a month ago, looks like they were in the same building.
Ambrosia Samantha Sick of hearing the positives? Get meds.
I can't even fathom the idea of not seeing the Sourcefed team all working together. The hosts. The producers. The editors. Everyone. It just seemed liked, for the first time in a long while, Sourcefed was on its way up and getting better and better with each new episode, segment and podcast. And as much as I was iffy about the new hosts, especially after Maude and you left, I really have come to adore them and all of their quirks. As much as I loved and treasured this last week--that was filled with some dope as highlights--I just...can't.
Ikr...I didn't watch sourcefed but I do watch Phil and other related channels and such, and it's crazy to think of an office without all of them. I just imagine them as a part of that environment, it's gonna be real strange without it
I watched the whole live stream last night and cried a lot. They are all amazing. I have subscribed to everyone's channel and have been watching their videos. Ava probably said it best, they were just getting over a hurdle and they did it and didn't have enough time to let them shine. Everyone always talked about how they weren't Lee or Elliot or Joe or Trisha, but there were themselves and that was more than enough. I wish nothing but the best for them all. I'll miss the laughs.
I tweeted like a dozen SF people, cast and crew last night just thanking them for everything they've done
I subscribed to everyone's individual channel that I could. But while they're all so talented on their own, they were amazing together.
I just recently stumbled upon the sourcefed stuff after watching vids on Maude's geekbomb channel, really great content and funny hosts from Sam, Maude, Steve, Will, Bree, Leiberman, Suptic, Whitney, Mike, many others and of course yourself, so many great things on the channel like the anime club, table talk and the random games, now I know what D&D is and how to play it because of the nerd crew, I am now a certain fan of this channel, I just realised I see you when I watch Dragon Ball Super on Crunchyroll in the intro ads which is great, such a great platform for discovering new anime just like this channel
You don't need to apologise Reina, you have every right to vent. I think it's a really nice thing that you've spoken up about all the talented people that have been affected by a super shitty decision.
Day 1 of no sourcefed: Cold.... so cold and bored...
Donny Boat same way T_T
Donny Boat it's an April fools joke right... right...
I'm upset too.. I just got onto source fed a few months ago.. and now it's gone. I loved seeing the content in my sub feed.
Theres about 5 years of content you can catch up on.
This it fucking real. Thank you for being honest and talking about the hard reality that everyone either can't or won't.
We need bummer videos, it's nice to know that other people feel bad about things too.
Exactly! They SHOULD have come up with a better solution. What was the point of buying and merging the channel if they couldn't afford to keep it going?!
MegaToronto1 My thoughts exactly.
bad business
Keeping channel on the life support is bad business. Of course the other solution was to layoff 50% of employees or cut their salary, im sure people wouldn't complain about that...oh wait.
It had years to be self-sustaining and failed...
I'm really sorry for the way super panic frenzy was handled and how it just suddenly ended
I felt like such a loser when I went to work after hearing about the cancellation & I just felt so down. Like why is this affecting me so much?
But I guess they feel like my friends too. :/ 💛
Exactly
This whole video is why Reina was one of my favorite hosts.
I'm really glad someone finally got real about SourceFed ending, it just came out of nowhere and it was so heartbreaking watching that last live stream. My oldest brother and I always watched sourcefed together and the videos made me so happy. Thanks for this video Reina! Take the time you need, we'll be here when you're ready
I think SF going is such a seismic thing for everyone who has been involved. And it is deviating that so many people are getting left with nothing, or it seeming like nothing. I've followed everyone and can't wait to see what else they do.
The sourcefed hosts should keep doing the SFpodcast (or a new one) and do a video or 2 a month with help from SF crew, all supported through patreon. That way sourcefed will never die!!
It's the Blum-Fox Any thing Sourcefed is property of the company that bought them shut down sourcefed and from what I understand several other channels. (Group9 or some shit like that) any they've nixed using the SourceFed name or resource for anything....
DevTheBigManUno Just use SourceFeed. /s
It's the Blum-Fox they should just join the boys only club.
Seems like this shit came out of nowhere. Maybe I'm just out of the loop but first I heard of this was on Philly D's channel. I had to DIG to find out anything about one of my favorite channels was just "oh by the way, we are done...BYE!!!" This sucks.
Stanley Scalf it was sprung on them too, they literally only got a 2 weeks notice maybe a little less
Franchesca Okami not even two they were told last Thursday or Friday :/ so shitty
They only found out like a week before we did.
Yea, they made a video about Table Talk going on hiatus, and then boom, they all got fired.
Discovery has owned all of SourceFed and other shows on RUclips for a while and they dismantled them all to form 'Group Nine' which is backed by certain agendas (you can tell from seeker stories' new show). It seems Discovery isn't after profit (I think someone from SourceFed was saying that they were on an uphill during their last days). So who knows what Discovery is trying to do with this new 'Group Nine'.
The live stream was so great and I felt it was everything we all needed, it didn't really hit me until the morning. I almost feel bad about being sad because while I (like many others) have lost a channel I loved watching multiple times a week, I didn't just publicly and suddenly lose my job. I watched those videos and laughed and loved but I didn't spend my days there or have a true personal connection with everyone.
The amazingly talented men, women and smooth chicken boys that we owe our last 5 years to deserve so much more than they got.
Reina and Will on Anime Club got me into Sourcefed. Really appreciate your honesty on Sourcefed. You a real one.
I see where you're coming from, Reina. These were, are, A-List people, wonderfully talented and constantly enjoyable, not just through their work, but as people. It was really surprising, at least for me, that even though the era finished, holy shit 40 people, good working nice people, lost their jobs at the snap of a finger. I don't think anyone really believed it would finish, but everything good comes to an end. On the plus side, they are extremely talented, surely they'll find more opportunities with the skills and relationships they made on the channel! Anyway, that's my two cents, Love ya' Daddy-Senpai!!
holy shit, I was just thinking about you and SourceFed.
I don't think the worst thing about SourceFed getting cancelled is people losing their jobs. Because as we all know, that situation will not last long, they are all extremely talented to a point that I personally take inspiration for my own work just by watching their videos. They are all amazing at what they do, from host to producers, from cameramen to writers; everyone...
The worst part is they are losing "that amazing working environment". I'm not talking about us, watchers, not having the SF experience anymore, all of us will find something new to get fanboy about (heck, some people will refuse to let SF go for a long time and keep watching all old videos over and over, like me); no, I'm talking about losing that great place to get up every morning and go, all the hard work those people put into the videos for years, and endless opportunities to come. That is the part that sucks for them.
I wish I could say "I'm going to keep being fan of all those people and watch everything they make no matter where they go", but I'm a realist. I'm just going to say that I'm extremely happy that I had the chance to experience every beautiful thing along the way. Hope the best for all of them. Keep rocking SF people.
in the world of jobs, being talented is not enough
Gumbino, it rarely is. However, prior experience *is* and all of them have that, so they're good because their foot is already in the door.
These days it's so tough to get a decent job in the production business that's not seasonal, part time or daily-hire. Yes, the people at SourceFed are very talented...but in today's market, you're almost better off starting your own business.
More than likely a large amount will have to migrate into work they don't want to do just so they can pay the rent. That is what happened to a lot of people I knew in video games and animation industry when they got laid off. Most careers in these types of industries are very short lived.
i roast people on my channel like rice gum
the worst thing is that buzzfeed is still alive and kicking and it's total garbage, yet sourcefed was actually good
I feel numb. SourceFed & Nerd filled my week. poof. gone.
Try some Just Kidding News!
+JK Employee Just Kidding News is life
I feel the same way, I love Sourcefed so much.
JK Employee their videos are amazing
Joey Flores more like entertainment
I cried during the Final Sourcefed livestream last night. Also just realized my phone's autocomplete suggests Sourcefed before any other word when I type S. ;-;
yeah totally feel you atm, I had this nagging feeling during the livestream: They summed up all these memories, and I truly believe the cast and crew dealt with this the way they deal with most things in life; with humor. I was genuinly happy and laughing during the livestream but when I saw Ava and Audrey cry it hit me, it really was the last time I would see all of them together like that. Man i`m gonna miss it. And all the promises that comes with following them all on social media, but it will probably never be the same with the production and editing. Ah, kinda felt good to speak out about it.
Thank you for acknowledging that so many people have just lost their jobs, I feel like the older OG hosts didn't do that in the stream
Shelby Hayes, I know what ya mean but I think they did that more for a "keeping everyone positive" bit. It could easily have been a six hour stream of bitching about how unfair the cancellation was instead of a final reminder of how fun and unique of a channel they had.
think it was a bit for everyone to keep going you can think negative go no where with those emotions or think positive and one door closes another one opens
I'm pretty positive Lee and Elliott mention it on Shooting Stars
Joe spoke highly for the new crew, which was very good
100% agree with keeping the stream positive! And I also loved what Joe said about the current hosts and crew!
this is so sad. I never watched much sourcefed, but I saw most of you on Philly D and how much you all were family. I'm so sorry for all of you, but I know you're all going to great places.
This is why I love Reyna... she keeps it 💯 The first "real" video since I found out SourceFed was cancelled. Thank you for this Reyna 🙇
I feel like my girlfriend of 5 years just got killed in a car accident and all of her stuff is still in my house. I'm really gonna miss sourcefed.
Chris Caviness - Ironically, i got hardcore dumped the day they posted the "last week" vid. It's been a depressing week in a lot of regards for errybody. but yea, i can say that dealing with sourcefed ending has been harder than the break up lol
dothest thou even hoist Hang in there, bud. We're all depressed together. \o/
dothest thou even hoist lol yeah its more akin to a family member passing away...
This is the most apt metaphor I've seen since I heard this news.
Kinda specific but alright
I'm absolutely devastated about SourceFed. I have been watching for a long time, and I seriously thought there was no way it would ever go away. I feel so fucking stupid now for thinking that, and I'm filled to the brim with guilt. I hadn't been watching much of SF the last year because I've been going through life-altering changes, and I just didn't have time. I thought SF would be fine, I loved the new hosts, and I stupidly thought they didn't need my support. I was wrong, I should have been watching and I should have commented my support for the new hosts. I know that SF ending isn't entirely my fault, but I can't stop feeling guilty... I'm so sorry.
missyennon ditto. :(
Monica Nguye
me sad too smh
The Jews at top fired everyone?
do you think they'll finally unprivate the fucking anime club videos? I wanna watch that again!!
loly337 why were they privated in the first place :o?
loly337 whaaat?? I was actually gonna rewatch them all, from the beginning when ross and meg hosted it
Copyright. Even if the channel is dead you can still get copyright infringements.
I'm pretty sure that someone who had sent in a response video for a different show (Movie Club) contacted SF saying that they wanted their image private and so to respect that person's wishes and to preemptively protect themselves and other people they made all the videos with viewer responses private.
I'm totally with you Reina. It's totally bullshit how SourceFed got cancelled just out of the blue... Whatever company owned it, made the WORST decision they could have ever made... Especially since they didn't even think about keeping on the team!
I really hope that maybe they all just get together and start their own thing! Philly D would probably help them out and all. I'm going to miss them so much :c
It's good to vent and a video like this is valuable. I want to say that I got back from my first trip to Japan yesterday and your content was the most valuable stuff I watched (which competition was stiff) before and during my trip; I can't wait to go back. Thank you.
I can't imagine how you feel. I'm sad and angry and I never worked there, I never met any of these people. Still, I care for every single person that worked there and it pisses me off that I won't get to see them in a single place again, that I won't be able to check in with them daily. It really is the end of an era :(
I love how real you are! It is not possible to always be happy especially when something like this happens
SOURCEFED and SourcefedNerd were the two channels I spent the most time watching over the past 5 years. I really felt like as the channel grew, so did I. No matter what kind of day I was having, they were always there and im honestly devastated about it all. I am behind you one hundred percent, could this not have been handled better? Was there no other way? It's just... heartbreaking...
SF, SFN, SPF and PBL videos were always there to cheer me up and just make my day better. I'd laugh and cry and even though i live on the other side of the world, i dreamt of seeing a live show and meeting you guys one day. It's so upsetting that something important to so many people was just cancelled. I'm sad and mad especially because everyone working there was fucked over. The editors and production team were amazing and all the hosts made me feel like it was alright and even cool to really nerd out and love what i love and I learnt so much over the past 5 years. SourceFed was full of so much talent, genuine passion and potential and I wish for the best for everyone that was a part of it. Thank you guys
So surprised that there wasn't more to the story there. I heard the cancellation rumors last weekend and thought "surely they'll just downsize and rework the channel before scrapping everything."
So wrong. So fucked.
Thank you Reina I was really angry for the sourcefed crew as well, and you really condensed those thoughts well.
THANK YOU I have been Raging for days cause all these people lost their FUCKING JOBS. They are all amazing and they just lost their home and the place where their family stays. Like I want to find the people that pulled the trigger and give then what for. Like WTF
I love how genuine you are in this video. I assume a video like the one with many former hosts could only happen because there is genuine love for SourceFed and the people there, which warms my heart.
Also, many of the first comments I saw about the cancellation were people who asked whether the SF people would be okay, what will happen to them now and how long ago was their notice? They were rather enraged by the fact this all happened to people so fast.
The audience identifies the most with hosts, but I definitely noticed that many cared about the people more than they cared losing the content they provided.
I don't know if there was another solution for this, but I don't think anyone at Discovery can, given what we know, fault us for at the very least feeling like this entire thing is unfair.
I also don't know if venting ever helps with anything, but hopefully it will help to know that we hear you, Reina, and we defintely understand and share your feelings.
a-fucking-men! I was so mad and upset when i heard about it all..
SPF is what brought me to SF.
You and Suptic have great chemistry. The video where you psychoanalyzed Suptic's personality was amazing. It seemed like you didn't even have to try to be funny, ya'll just were.
Same. Saw the SPF crossover with Funhaus, then somewhere else I saw Steven and Reina in the "Straight White Boy Texts" series, fell in love with Steven (full homo), and started watching SPF. Only started watching other SF content due to constantly seeing it in my recommendations.
Thank you for posting this. I have watched SourceFed since it was just a teaser trailer.
When I heard the news my first thought was exactly what you are saying - what about the crew? All those amazingly talented people. I want to cry thinking about it. We know they will succeed but this still sucks
To be entirely honest - I watched every single SF and SFN video for years. Then they brought Candace on, thats when I tuned out.
What's making me sad is seeing the sourcefed family being separated :C
Reina,
Thank you for saying this, I agree absolutely, laying off your entire workforce on a week's notice is monumentally cunty.
I do have one question:
From an outsider's perspective, it appeared that Philip DeFranco's Sourcefed and Discovery Networks' Sourcefed felt like completely different places. Was this the case? If so, how did it feel different being there?
Sourcefed has been a daily part of my life since the day it launched, and to see it suddenly ripped from all the people that loved it so dearly is heartbreaking.
I have grown up watching the hosts, and they picked me up with their silly antics countless times through the years.
Thank you Reina for your realness and vulnerability through sharing the crazy mix of emotions you're experiencing. It's times like this when supporting each other is so incredibly important!
The only choice now is to look at the situation in positive light. Bigger and better things for everyone at Sourcefed!
Hope you start feeling better Reina!
P.S. Boys only club is amazing you and Supdick are perfect.
I only started watching just as you left. I didn't have the kind of attachment to the channel the people who watched from the beginning did, but the reason I felt so bad was because you could see in everyone's eyes during the livestream the same kind of look people get at the end of summer camp or graduation; heartbreak and hopelessness. You know things are going to be fine in the future but you've been denying the end of this time with the people you love as long as you can and now you're wondering if there's anything you could've done to make it last longer. That's the part that hurt.
Wow they're really going all out for this April fools joke
apirl fools in march??
djadog3k well isn't the channel officially ending in April?
MolotovBurner100 there last video was posted today i follow william haynes on snap chat and i saw all the sound proof foam was torn off the wall i doubt they would do that for a joke
I never thought of that :/ It doesn't make sense that a channel that can obviously generate income would just shut down. Good call.
They were talking about Moving to a new location so Maybe They are just Moving and making a new channel i hope
For me sourcefed was done once Joe Beretta, Elliott Morgan, and Lee Newton left.
Britman that's all that I remember
Britman amen
The original, yeah, but it became something else that I still liked. The new hosts grew on me. Just wish others gave them a chance.
and joe, elliot and lee would say fuck off. LOL
valleyfolk!
Why wouldn't discovery just cut a couple of their shitty news shows that nobody watches instead of SF, SFNerd, and PBL? There are like 20 of them
HunterBow1 Discovery no longer handle SF, GroupNine own SF
Reiiiiiinnnnaaaaaa
thank you for posting this. u can't imagine how hard this is for you and everyone else. i already miss SF and all the talented people. (i subbed to everyone individually that I hadn't before) thank you for being honest. 💖💖💖
Thank you for making this video; I stopped watching SourceFed a while ago because I didn't feel the content was fresh or exciting but enjoyed some of the characters, you included.
Not everything has to be positive. The fact that you still put out content that is real makes people come back and care for you as well as the community. Life is not always great but doing this can at least show that people who feel like this aren't alone. You're awesome and I can't wait to see what everyone does because there is so much talent in the free agency of creatives now. Lol
Keep calm and what is that a coffee machine?
It really hurt, I consider all of you family 😞
I have been so depressed as well... Tearing up every 'last of this video' video. All week long... 3-26 is my birthday (tomorrow) and all I wanna do is drink and cry. I can't do that, but I want to. I have grown attached to each of them. Even the behind the scenes people, due to all of the random videos that went everywhere showing everyone and parts of their personality. I have started following all of you on all the areas that I can like Twitter and their own channels. I hope that great things come quickly to all of them. Like you found your way pretty quickly. I watched the live stream yesterday and was just crying my eyes out near the end. Thank you for making this video, I don't know why but I kinda felt like I was the only one that felt this way.
I remember when I first discovered Sourcefed in about early December by accident while watching "try not to laugh" videos on RUclips and I came across Sourcefed try not to laugh challenge part 2 in the suggestions. and then I discovered when Reina was in the part 1 video. sorry and sad to see the amazing channel go. I really wish I had discovered Sourcefed sooner, it sounds like you guys had an absolute BLAST over the years!! hope all the guys find new jobs they can enjoy just as much as they did on Sourcefed
glad to know you actually cared when SPF ended cause at the time I feel like you and Steven kept it to yourselves cause of legal issues and such and felt kinda abandoned on the topic since I loved the show being there when it was first announced and watching every single video on release not just cause I loved all the content but cause I genuinely like you and Steve anyways, best of wishes, stay well Reina
Christmas won't have Santa Steve anymore I don't like this
Lothrics greatest Thief awww Im sad now wtf
Can someone tell me why in every Sourcefed members "no more sourcefed" personal channel videos they aren't mentioning the company that shut them down and putting them on blast?
Probably signed a NDA for so long so they can't talk about everything.
Do you think that singed that when they first joined sourced or after the latest company bought them out?
I don't know. I imagine depending on who owns the company rules change. I've never been involved in a buyout so I don't know. If I had to guess I would say existing cast/ behind scenes had to sign to keep their job, but anyone new probably had to sign before coming on.
Sending love your way Reina. I've been a fan of the PDS, Source Fed and Source Fed Nerd since the beginning and while I'm hurt to see it go, I feel like Will said in his video; just excited to see what the future holds for you guys.
Thank you for making this video cause I feel the same way. And the worst part was I have still not even seen a video about Phil explaining what went wrong or why everything had to be canceled. I'm gonna look again after this. But I still have all the posters I bought on my wall and I still have all the great and amazing memories. Someone on one of the videos called it a hiatus and I'm hoping that's all it is and someday it all comes back. All I can say to you is I'm so sorry about all your friends. But they will come back from this :)
Thank you finally someone is talking out
I'm glad someone that was from SF is voicing what us the fan were all thinking. T_T Also I'm sure people with crunchyroll understood how hard it would be to bring your A game being their part of the yt community because in reality this is a be wake up to other shows that it all can end in a blink of an eye for bs reasons. Just know we here for you senpai!!!!! You need to be mad or sad we gots you!
Oh my God!
This os what the last 2-3 years of my life have been like:
1st. I finally get into all of the SF channels and start loving it. 2nd. One of my favorite RUclipsrs (Suptic) starts an awesome gaming channel with one of my fav SF stars (Ringus). 3rd. My super shitty Photoshop of Reina as a giraffe is featured on SPF. 4th. That glorious channel ends and Reiner them Maude leaves. 5th. When things start to slowly come back and bee okay (even old segments start to come back), BOOM! Big daddy SF is hit with the cancel.
This is some rotten cheese, man. I will everyone the best of luck.
I've been watching SF since day one and I'm devastated. I mean, I was sad when Lee, Joe, Elliot, and you left, but at least I knew you all were moving on to other opportunities. With this, I just feel so upset that these talented people I want to support... liken there's really nothing I can do. And I won't get to see them working together anymore, which was one of the greatest things. I hope everything works out for everyone, and I'll be following as closely as possible and supporting in any way I can as opportunities arise. I'm happy I'll get to enjoy your podcast with Suppy!
I really hate that it was camcelled. Been a fan of sourcfed since the start, and this news came out of nowhere and hit hard. live stream of the final episode went on for hours. and I just hoped that they would not stop. They are all super talented, as are you. It was thanks to that channel that I subscribed to you, and follow Steve, and Meg, and Trish, and Joe, and Lee....etc. The new cast too. I hope everyone continues to create and hopefully collaborate. Sourcefed ended, but all of you are still relevant and will create. so it's not an end, it's a change. Graduation. That talent will be fine. Behind the scenes guys too. Thank you for everything Reina. Enjoy Japan already!
Im sorry Reina, I'm upset about it too :( I watched sourcefed from the beginning and now that its over is just weird.
This whole situation is so confusing and such bullshit. I understand that they're cancelling things because of budget, but these also aren't TV shows. You're cancelling 4 youtube channels, but they don't just go away. They just sit there, including all of the content made before discovery bought the whole thing. RUclips is a different animal all together. I thought it was such bullshit when superpanicfrenzy was stopped.
Maybe I don't have enough of an understanding of how this is all supposed to work, and I understand that paying for all of the staff, the space, etc is what it came down to. It's just that while everyone knows Discovery was technically the owner, the content wasn't theirs; the people weren't theirs.
Again, I know they own the rights and bought the channels, and they don't have the emotional attachment nor do they care, but it was here before discovery and it should be able to continue without it. It's a privilege to be able to work with such hilarious and talented people. It's such garbage that they think they can throw away something that wasn't wholly theirs to begin with.
Basically, fuck them.
It was there before discovery because Phil was paying for it out of pocket once the money from google quickly dried up. Now there's no one around to actually fund it.
Oh absolutely, and the pragmatic side of me understands that Discovery was the reason that SourceFed got to continue doing what they did.
The sentimental side of me is thinking about how RUclips was done before all of these big companies got involved. I guess it's more like this was uniquely theirs before discovery came along, and that it should go back to them, if they could figure out how to get the funding. Obviously it's the funding of it that's the biggest issue.
One of those, "in my day, we had to walk uphill both ways in the snow to put out youtube videos. get off my lawn. oy, my hips."
Frankly I feel like boycotting any and all Group Nine shit. I'm angry and sad. I didn't know all of you in real life but through the videos it felt like you were good friends of mine.
Honestly, that's the best thing we can all do. Anyone who watched for a long time feels like the hosts are good friends, and I think we all really want to defend them. Group 9 fucked us, and they fucked the channels. to me that is more than enough to be cause to boycott.
yeah I have blocked all of group 9's current channels on facebook, and refuse to watch them on youtube.
Emily B. sourcefed wasnt profitable...they arnt a charity. u want the company to lose tons of money year after year so you can be slightly entertained for 6 min a day?
She asked how we felt and I stated it.
Emily B. Why would group nine not cancel it's loosing money do you want a company to fail life's not free grow up
I hope that a channel like Sourcefed comes into existence. The videos always made me so happy. Everyone was such great friends and they lost the job that so many people would consider their best job. It's sad that it had to end and it's so much more sad about how it ended.
thanks Reina for a honest video. I'm really devestated too. To be honest, what hooked me to SourcefedNerd was watching you and Will do AnimeClub. From there I just started binging everything and been thru the ups and downs for I think 4 years. Actually, watching Sourcefed(and many other channels like RT) made me change my major into a Telemedia major. Its hard and expensive making content so I can totally relate, and since im starting in the ground up to build my portfolio I have to be my own producer, director, editor, script writer and all that jazz. It was a stupid dream but I was actually hoping on building my portfolio and submitting it to Discovery and other companies and actually work with everybody. I'm super bummed that everything went the way it did but we just need to keep on truckin.
Don't feel bad about not making any Japan videos, as long as you're happy we're happy. So please just make sure you get yourself sorted and have some fun!
And to top it all off Suptic is being audited! :(
Harry Fernando during the live stream he said it's been taken care of.
tobelieveinfutures Really?? So it's all sorted?! Oh thank God! xx
SourceFed was ok, it's buzz feed that needs the boot
Love you Reina! This touched me. I’ll always remember our adventures together.. from England, to photoshoots to how you FOUGHT to get me on that plane to Japan, which was one of the best experiences of my life. Theres no way around the shitty-ness of the situation, but at least for me, I’m starting to be at least a little less sad and just so so SO thankful for the opportunity to have met and worked with folks like you.
Love you dear :)
I remember when I first found Sourcefed and Sourcefed Nerd. I was so happy. You guys were and are funny and nice. My favorite thing was the table talks. I loved hearing all of the stories. You guys were such a family and I hate to see the channels canceled. 😢 I'll really miss all of them.
