#i rely on YOUTUBE #I LOVE THE GAMES BIT. ICA NT.

[trashworldblog]

also... hot take... but i think expecting to get entertainment for free is actually bad for artists

#ok im leaving now cus this is insane to watch actually #i understand being upset but... as an artist its already insane to rely on advertising rev #youre talking about watcher as if its netflix and its very much is not #if spotify is bad for indie artists i cant help but assume youtube isnt much better #do i know if it will work out? no! i dont work there! #but i will support artists trying their best to make their best work while making a living #because as an artist trying to make a living they inspire me ! and they make good work! and im damn proud of them for making this leap!

There's something inherently funny about Watcher out-trending Yuri on Ice. It's the embodiment of this meme to me:

#watcher #yuri on ice #I almost expected ice adolescence to be cancelled eventually #they (mappa) didn't seem interested in finishing it anymore #got too tied up in other projects #but watcher deciding to leave YouTube #that was unexpected #i lowkey understand where they are coming from #but I also am not going to pay 6€ to watch their content #if they wanted to not rely on ads so much they could have established a patreon #or yt memberships #or idk #design better merch and make it more accessible #there are so many more ways they could have taken #and they went for capitalism max

Listen guys I get that the new watcher news sucks and is awful, I hate it too, but I think some people are overreacting, just a little bit. The pivot to streaming is absolute bullshit and, objectively, a bad move but you don't need to scorn everything they've ever made just because they made a stupid decision. Ryan, Shane, and Steven are human beings trying to grow their company and they've made a bad bussiness desicion. They are not devils and everything they've ever made is not suddenly bad, they're just idiots, and sometimes, it's okay to just be an idiot.

#ive seen some people say that theyre going to delete everything on youtube and....no #i sat down and watched the video and its a little unclear but they never said that lol #they did say they will put season premieres on youtube so theres that #honestly im just a little baffled on how this desicion got past literally anyone. how did anyone approve this. #there were so many better decisions to make. what happpened. did being a ceo break stevens brain #like i wish them all the best and i understand wanting to rely less on advertisers but wtf man #watcher entertainment #watcher #ryan bergara #shane madej #steven lim #bones screams into the void

HER RIGHT ARM IS LITERALLT ON HIS HEART IT’S ACTUALLY SICK. NOT A BIT OF AIR BETWEEN THEM

#it’s the same hand he missed by a hair btw. her right one #loz #totk #zelink #i’ve been cornplating the hell out of the falling sequence in totk #literally looking up totk ending 60fps 4k on youtube and playing it at 0.25 speed #because nintendo made the worst camera angle decisions ever for this cutscene and im trying to figure out how theyre posed #and this mad eme emotional #first link’s smile out of bounds when zelda says “warm loving embrace” #and then this just barely visible with the greatest scrutiny and multiple videos some in 4k and some with with different bottom armor #why do they want to hide the details so bad like……trying to figure out their vertical pose here has been so hard #the fact that i have to use different videos just to show more details is crazy. like i had to rely on speedrunners for wearing no pants #totk spoilers #but i found this when comparing the footage and it made me go. AAAGGHHHHH

Controversial opinion about the Watcher streaming service, apparently: This was a really exciting announcement that everyone was so excited to shit on that y'all may end up killing Watcher altogether.

I'm going to try to be really clear about this, because I don't want to dismiss valid concerns, so here we go.

Watcher came to us and they said, "We want to make our best content for you. We don't want you to be the product we have to sell to advertisers, we want you to be an audience that we can take on the coolest journey we can make. But that takes money that we can't get from YouTube revenue." And I honestly thought this was a perfectly logical and reasonable direction to take the company so Watcher could continue to exist in its best possible form.

Are there things they could have stated more clearly? Yeah, especially that their YouTube library would still be available and what would happen to people who were already patrons of the channel.

Do I understand why people would be upset about potentially losing access to Watcher? Of course. It's an amazing company making amazing content, and not everyone can afford a streaming service. They did openly encourage password sharing, which I happen to think is very cool of them, but some people would still lose access and that sucks.

But I truly don't understand how "We want to make amazing content and keep our amazing team, and that needs a budget that YouTube just can't give us" turned into "Wahhhh give us your money, we want it all" to some people. I think it's worth remembering that Watcher is a small company with a small team, not a streaming giant looking for one more way to milk an extra cashflow opportunity.

I truly hope that Watcher making everything free on YouTube on a delay because people yelled loud enough doesn't shoot them in the foot. Because I think they make great content and I think they deserve to be paid fairly for it and pay their staff fairly for it. Content creators aren't factories; they don't have to churn free content out for you forever. If Watcher becomes untenable because Ryan, Shane, and Steven can't make good content and make enough money to live off of at the same time, it will simply vanish. And I'm sure some of the same people yelling about the streaming service will yell about that too, if it ever happens.

I don't know, I just didn't think, "We're trying to make the best possible content for you," deserved this much of an outcry.

#i KNOW some of y'all pay for dropout #you think they could make 3/4 of those shows if they were still mainly on YouTube? #like brennan #shane is simply unmonetizable when he acts like himself #at least to advertisers #they'll be able to handle heavier topics on ghost files without self-sensoring to stay ad-friendly! #they can take risks with their shows and know they have a solid income to rely on! #they can say fuck! #can't wait for the hate mail to roll in for this one #original #watcher #watcher entertainment #watcher tv #also it's definitely not the ONLY factor to the outcry #but i cannot help but think that it's not NOT a factor that the majority of people we've seen on watcher are poc

Telling content creators it's wrong to explore artistic freedom and be independently funded by fans, and they should instead continue taking advertisement revenue from google* is

NOT

the anti-capitalism stance actually.

*(Yes, google owns youtube.)

#Watcher #This post is specifically and exclusively about the people who seem to have the capitalism bit wrong #It's almost fascinating how no one is hearing themselves speak #I feel like some of you don't understand WHY we support small businesses and are anti-monopoly #I've seen multiple posts saying “Shane is so anti-capitalism there's no way this was his idea.” #So... you think it's pro-capitalism to start your own business instead of relying on pennies from the exploitative mega-corporation? #Guys... we support small businesses KNOWING it will cost the consumer more #Stop thinking you're entitled to someone's product #That's what got us in this mess #I understand $6 is a lot for many many people but that is what makes certain things a luxury #Nothing used to be this way #Nothing used to be “free” so you can be monitored for your viewing habits and sold to advertisers #If you see a little guy trying to leave youtube/google and you paint them as the capitalist??? You. have. taken. a. wrong. turn. #I don't know how many more ways I can say it #It is better to support someone (if you can) than to pressure them into taking money from the trillion-dollar corporation #so that you can have what they put all their blood/sweat/tears into for free #If you want something badly enough you're going to have to pay for it #Them's the breaks #If you don't want it that badly then maybe it didn't mean enough to you personally #Thinking otherwise is how corporations like youtube take over and squeeze out small competitors #btw on monopolies: having almost every single video content creator (outside of tiktoks and video game streams) on youtube is BAD #You understand that's bad yes? #How tf are we going to diversify unless SOME CREATORS leave youtube??? #It's almost the responsibility of larger creators to do so #Ironically what I said is backwards #In its ideal state‚ capitalism is supposed to inspire innovation and new business‚ giving every person a chance to succeed #But I think we all know that's not the reality we're experiencing #I just went with what everyone means when they say it

#my stuff #alpharad #digital art #youtuber #twitch streamer #i had a cooler img in my head but i couldnt?? draw it down?? #also its hard to find a proper pic of their current tats i went to their charades vid and relied on whatever i can zoom in on😭

he is so special. to me

#collecting screenshots like this instead of the pretty closeup art is the only warning sign you will get for your oncoming blorbo madness #stay aware #posts #wind breaker #sakura haruka #now that ive watched every released episode approximately 5 times (thank you youtube reactors) i can devour the manga like a starved beast #reading ch 3 and god i still love sugishita and his entrance so much like hes so funny and he was really and truly on go from the jump 🤣🤣 #my man made NO introductions 🤣🤣 he threw a desk said “ILL KILL YOU” and had us relying on nirei & suo for exposition the rest of the fight

me after attempting to get back into sims and realizing i had a lot more to do than play the game

#hi everyone #I’m going around hugging you all #okay now that we are gathered here today #i will simply acknowledge that i have been gone for a very long time and then also acknowledge that maybe it was for the best #i relied on sims to be my only creative activity even if i tried to write a book at the same time #and also. i prioritized sims over real life responsibilities. that’s just a deadly combination lol #but I recently noticed I just replaced sims with Netflix. with YouTube. with anything that gave me quick dopamine #literally became addicted in a sense. still am but I’ve been cut cold turkey from most everything #I get off work and go. okay I’ve done the dishes and the laundry……..I could read or write or bake…. #I try to write and sometimes i get a good hour #then I read for a few hours and then get tired of it #and I made cookies Tuesday so I’m waiting for those to be gone before baking again #I’m just so pitiful that I feel BORED and don’t know what to do #so I said….. okay what if I do sims for an hour. #I downloaded some new cc Tuesday and tried to play yesterday #y’all ……………….. I can’t find the energy anymore to set up elaborate scenes and pose my sims and plan posts #I said wow… this is boring without my intervention and fake story #I said wow…….. all this for what? for tumblr? yes I created cool things and provided joy. but is that inherintly important compared to my #own joy? my own everyday activities I should be doing? #y’all I do not leave the house unless we got out to eat or shop or travel to our parents #.. I have little desire to. I’m trying to find that desire #but my husband is busy with grad school and work and I don’t want to do anything by myself #I’ve found myself in one heck of a slump #I didn’t want to be human for awhile. just had no desires no interests no ambitions #I was slacking off SO HARD at work. I just had no drive to do well #I’m still working on it. I’m still trying to get caught up. I’m still trying to force myself to move every day. #but I am struggling y’all. and I can tell you that sims… sims isn’t helping rn but I want it to so bad. I want to get back into it #I didn’t mean to disappear on everyone. I got married and then life got busy and then I fell into this hole of nothing #I didn’t even WANT to crawl my way out. but my husband has helped a lot. I feel like such a child!!!! #I reached max tags. 🙃 bye love you all. till next time

i open youtube and watch a video and seethe to myself abt how i would be such a good subtitler and then not do anything abt it

#danbles #i completely understand the (justified) complaint of ppl using subtitles as a way to add jokes and make it completely inaccessible #but then there’s the other side of it when there is zero humor in the subtitles for an intentionally comedic video #spell out the puns if the speaker is putting emphasis! #write out the onomatopoeia if there are sound effects that are reacted to but not addressed! #sometimes they even skip out on lines entirely #just bc someone says smth under their breath does not mean it was Actually not for the audience to hear #that being said. i will always appreciate creators that hire real ppl to subtitle their vids #instead of relying on the auto-generated captions to butcher and detract from the video #autogen captions are a fucking joke #did i ever tell you guys abt how my HoH friend was hired to draw one of their fav youtuber’s thumbnails #and when they asked the ytber if they would add captions sometime (bc the ytber already uses scripts for their vids) #the ytber just told them youtube already has captions. 😐 #you can hire an artist but you can’t hire someone to add words to a screen… #needless to say my friend does not freelance for them anymore

Reeeally sad for Shane and Ryan. I like their content so much, admire their work, I wish this new streaming platform thing would work for their sakes, but it doesn´t seem like it and I get why. IF anyone at watcher ever reads this, I´m sorry you digged a grave you didn´t need

#watcher #shane and ryan #their fanbase loved them so much literally nothing they could would have made them so mad as this thing did #Also #I read a comment on youtube about how smosh still gets by and is still on youtube #and I get it #BUT the thing is #Watcher didn´t just need a more sustainable financial model #they WANTED to grow #that´s the nature of their work first they wanted to hace their own platform it is logical for them to want to have an in in television #it makes me so mad because they were so great they had such a loyal fanbase absolutely crazy about them and their content #guess they relied on that a lil too much #but WHY did they have to ruin this for themselves?????? #like out of the blue decided to make a big bad decision

I am begging on my knees for new tloz fans who have only played botw, to get themselves an emulator and start playing I take no excuses. Or read the tloz lore books (Hyrule Historia/Encyclopedia) and read the lore of the older games (and ignore the timeline cause it's pointless that will make you more confused 👉👈)

you got two weeks before totk releases go go go!!!!!!! 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

#i wanted to get mean abt it but i thought no...I need these ppl to actually get w the program and start playing #GET AN EMULATOR YOUR PUTER IS CRAPPY? DONT MATTER MY LAPTOP IS MORE THAN 5YRS OLD AND IT RUNS SMOOTHLY #too risky for you (??? its not bad i promy its worth it) ok... i mean theres the online subscription expansion pack you can #play almost every tloz game (ww and tp excluded) #dont feel like playing? WE GOT BOOKS TWO EM MAYBE THREE IF U COUNT BOTW ARTBOOK #these bad boys contain all the lore you need (if you're lucky maybe you can even find a free pdf file online) #DONT RELY ON TLOZ YOUTUBERS...PLEASE THEY DONT GIVE THE BEST EXPLANATION CAUSE THEY FOLLOW THE TIMELINE OR JUST GET STUFF WRONG #THIS IS MORE OF A BIASED OPINION CAUSE IM TLOZ TIMELINE NO1 HATER BUT LIKE #TAKE WHAT THEY SAY W A PINCH OF SALT INCLUDING THEIR THEORIES #txt
