What's most tragic about this move from Watcher is that they claim to do it because more money = higher quality shows, but it's that same "high quality" that made me stop watching most of the shows in the first place. Ghost files just isnt fun when every 3-5 minutes they roll some 3d information animation abt a gizmo or gadget that i already think suck and have already seen in every single episode. It's annoying to watch them use them and place any stock in what they produce because it's so obvious the machines are just programmed to produce "ghost data" on their own randomly. To take something funny like the spirit box and smother it another gizmo that cleans it up and takes the fun out of it.
The reason i loved buzzfeed unsolved was never EVER the "evidence" they gathered or even the history of the ghost story. It was the boys. Ryan scared out of his mind and shane laughing at him but still comforting him even though he thought it was all bs. The banter. It was never ever the ghosts that made the show
If they don’t respond to this TOMORROW they will have eviscerated all the goodwill and love their fans had for them. They should have done it hours ago. Going forward, they either need to consult a professional business manager after this astronomically stupid decision or Steven needs to step down and let someone more competent run the company. No one is paying for another streaming service.
things they could have done:
stressed engagement more (like, comment, share, subscribe, etc.)
promoted their patreon more – there are people in the comments shocked to find out they even had one
youtube memberships (with exclusive emojis!)
given patrons/youtube members exclusive behind-the-scenes videos and/or early release videos
joined nebula & given nebula members exclusive behind-the-scenes videos and/or early release videos
streamed horror games on youtube/streamed horror games on twitch & uploaded the VODs on youtube
decreased the production value & staff required to create videos
in light of recent news, and in fear of losing one of the only things that brings me joy in my stupid baka life, here's all episodes of puppet history.
I like to think I'm pretty good about avoiding parasocial relationships, but shane "fuck capitalism" madej going along with the watcher subscription service nonsense has some kick to it ngl
