not done talking about the watcher thing because so many people vilified them for making a bad business decision (which it was) and then proceeded to name solutions that would literally be worse.

“just move out of la” moving 25ish people is expensive and it is completely unreasonable to ask your employees to do that when some have families that would have to move, not to mention the cost of moving all their equipment would make their financial situation worse in the short-term and possibly put them under.

“lay off people” i get saying that they expanded too fast, they did. but laying off hardworking people in a recession would be worse than what they actually did. sure they should’ve/could’ve halted expansion but saying people should be fired is crazy.

“cut down on production costs and focus on what works” they explicitly said that don’t want to do that. they want creative control over their work so they can make the art they want.

everyone pointing out their revenue streams seems to forget the expenses of a business. the 100k from their patreon monthly is not going to the pockets of shane ryan and steven. it’s going to the employees, rent, health insurance, taxes. 100k is 4k for each employee per month. it’s not as if they’re making millions.

watcher made a dumb decision and people are acting like they murdered people. we’ve seen less backlash from literal predators.

the people saying “they only apologized because people were mad/hurt.” like…yeah. obviously. if everyone was ok with the decision they wouldn’t have needed to apologize!! that’s the point!! why are people mad at them doing the smart PR move to keep their business and fan base?

last point: people saying they took too long. they took less than a single business day. sure, it would’ve been nice for them to say a statement was on the way, but do you really think that would’ve made people satisfied. i for one, would much rather they spend time working on their response than say something as soon as people got mad.

#i’m more mad at how some people have acted than what watcher did #they way some of yall acted was toooo much #it was blown way out of proportion #watcher #all hail the watcher #youtube

was rewatching ghost files looking for reference photos and stumbled across a meme template

#shane’s face is just really fuckin funny to me #no thoughts behind those eyes #watcher entertainment #all hail the watcher #watcher #ghost files #ryan bergara #shane madej #shane and ryan #ryan and shane #ghoul boys #the geek rambles

now that watcher has taken back their decision, i wanna say one more thing about what happened: the backlash was a little ridiculous. Yes, you have the right to be disappointed that you can’t afford the streaming service. No, you can’t attack just Steven for something that was all of their decisions. Also, the fact of the matter is that the shows are really expensive to make. even the buzzfeed unsolved shows were expensive to make, but buzzfeed is a giant corporation and can afford that. watcher, a much smaller business, needs the money to keep making the shows that they make. grow up.

i’ve seen so many people be like “i’ll keep watching but no more supporting them in any other way 😒” like y’know what. GOOD. fuck off. i’m gonna buy their merch and support their patreon/new streaming service because i understand what it means to make a fucking mistake.

watcher/the ghoul boys helped me grow up. i started watching ‘em at 16 and now i’m almost 24. they got me through college with their humor and creativity and it’s gonna take a hell of a lot more than a bunch of people who were only supporting them up until they made a mistake. jesus it’s like you guys expect them to produce ALL this stuff and then work for nothing, because as soooo many people have insisted, they will no longer financially supporting them in ANY way??? not to mention that holy SHIT did yalls racism and sexism pop out. tearing sara to shreds??? the VOLUMES of hatred steven got (don’t get me wrong he is no saint, finding out he’s friends with some homophobic & transphobic people is more than enough to give him some distasteful looks and rightful criticism, but could yall maybe NOT immediately jump to racism and insist ‘Shane was the only good one?’) this one weekend of a seemingly beloved company making a bad move, taking the time to listen to people and course-correct, and still being told that one mistake was enough to never fully trust them ever again or give them ANY of your support…

Do any of you people truly love anything but yourselves and your own fucked up sense of morality and justice?

watcher fans have few options:

history nerd who want his corpse to be eaten by wild animals, and seeks out dolls in abandoned buildings the way one does a cat at a party full of strangers

jock who believes in ghosts, thinks hair grows through the skull, and can't stop himself from making shit jokes

stressed foodie who seems normal until he opens his mouth and is always one inconvenience from committing arson

bonus:

nervous gay bartender who didn't have this in his 5 year plan

historical beauty guru who's willing to put ground up bugs on her face just too see what it looks like
