Don't get me wrong, I'm still kinda annoyed about what Watcher did despite the fact that they've gone back on it, but at the same time I hate all these channels posting videos like "the greediest channel on youtube" sometimes not even a day after the first "were quitting youtube" video came out. Like, if you can't even wait a day to make a video about a situation I think the call is coming from inside the house when it comes to greedy YouTube channels.

Bit of a serious meme for once

[thezestywalru]

tv shows with time travel organizations/bureaus/police/agencies/whatever should have a department with instead of a tech genius eating candy, it’s a harried seamstress or fashion designer who is like

“1450 italy? does it look like I have the time to dye you wool? nO. YOU’RE GOING TO THE 1980s”

and throws shoulder pads at the hapless time agent

My best friend has never seen D20 once in her life.

So…I asked her to explain Fantasy High characters to me based SOLELY on pictures of them, and I’ll let you all be the judge on how it turned out.

Pls let me know if I should make this a series in the tags

I think they should've created an OnlyFans account for Professor. It would unironically made them so much money.

Absolutely AMAZING response by Watcher imo.

They acknowledged that they made a mistake, made the wider context more clear, and addressed basically all of the criticisms brought forward by the community as far as I know.

Anyone who already subscribed to the streaming service who no longer wants it gets a refund.

Patrons get a free subscription to the streaming service.

The service now only offers early, ad-free episodes that will still be released on YouTube.

They acknowledged the insensitivity of the original pitch and how the price is not something that everyone can afford.

THIS is how you respond to backlash, especially this widespread. Take time to collect your thoughts, take the criticism into account, and change your actions going forward.

Great job Watcher 👏

Very intrigued by the amount of people (myself included) who are saying they didn’t like ghost/mystery files as much as buzzfeed unsolved.

Because this means we were sticking around for loyalty. Because we wanted to see Watcher succeed. Not because of “tv level content” or expensive shows or whatever else.

[thezestywalru]

okay wait im not done talking abt this yet but dropout could do the funniest fucking thing in the entire world and come out with a mystery/ghost hunting show

[thezestywalru]

ex buzzfeed employees love sitting in threes on couches for their apology videos it's good enrichment for them

the watcher fandom rn

Okay….

As a long term watcher and ghoul boy fan…

Yes this sucks…

Yes this is a *very* bad business move..

And yes it is tone deaf and out of touch with their audience and their watcher demographic.

But to dogpile into Steven and insist that he’s ‘evil and capitalistic’ is genuinely insane.

*watcher* made a business decision

Not Steven lim

Ryan and Shane were part of that decision too. So don’t only blame Steven for this.

[thezestywalru]

he will be mist <2

The people trying to say Shane was forced into this and would never do this are so psrasocial and also just weird. Shut up. You don't know how he's going to feel about every decision. I highly doubt he was forced into this, he is part of the decision making process.

I just found out they have 18 people credited for one episode of survival mode and it’s blowing my mind honestly. There are so many creators who mainly do let’s plays by themselves and get tons of views. It’s literally all about the game choice and the commentary. I watch one guy who just films himself sitting on his couch while he plays and records the screen because he’s funny!! It doesn’t have to be fancy and aesthetic and amazing looking. If Ryan and Shane sat down and played a game like until dawn and just passed the controller back and forth, it would get tons of views with very minimal editing. Why is 18 people required for a let’s play? That’s why I’m convinced they just expanded way too quickly and just don’t know what to do now. It’s like they are trying to reinvent the wheel and no one asked them to. These things already work on YouTube stop trying to force it to be something else. Also expecting people to want to pay 6 dollars a month for a let’s play is insane when they are all over YouTube already.
