those Iconic Quotes? all from buzzfeed unsolved!! when has watcher/ghost files, with their stylized graphics and higher production value, ever churned out this kind of banter!!
Literally the 2nd time ever posting on here, but I’m just dumbfounded by the many different avenues they could’ve actually taken before coming to this!
Like a year ago I was on the highway and sped past a billboard that I thought was Shane and the Professor so I made this when I got home and forgot about it until now and honestly this would have been a smarter idea
I think also that maybe the Watcher guys overestimate the uh, depth and value of their content. Most people watch it not because it's educational or well-presented, but because it's fun. It's comfort content. And comfort content relies on being approachable and easy to access. People who enjoy history will move on to things that are free on Youtube that cover topics in much more depth, even if the videos don't have the same fancy editing or sets. People who like true crime will just watch or listen to the bajillion podcasts that dig so much deeper than their 20-minutes episodes.
The main thing they had going for them was the dynamics and approachability. Prioritising production value and Content isn't going to pull Youtube numbers because that's not what their Youtube audience wanted. So what they're essentially doing is paywalling their dynamics. And well, I'm not paying 6 bucks a month just to access fun banter. Ya dig?
