"Steven isn't solely responsible for the paywall shift" and "Nobody wants to watch Steven eat insanely expensive food and have to pay for it" are statements that can coexist btw.

i think the fanbase wouldn’t even be this upset if they’d built up to it. why didn’t you enable youtube memberships? i have no doubt people would contribute as much as they can, simply because most people would agree that artists deserve to get paid for their content, and they’d want to support you. we were buying your merch, coming to live shows, subbed to patreon, etc etc. so why’d you jump to paywalling your content before trying other things? and why are you this adamant about production value when no one is watching you for it? do you not know your audience?

I just really don't get how you're going to have a show where Steven flies around first class explicitly to eat the world's most expensive food.... And then say you can't make ends meet and you HAVE to put all of your videos (approx. 5 videos a month) behind a paywall just to survive.

This is the candles budget meme irl

Also trying to double dip from the Patrons. Lol.

genuinely don't know how watcher thought this would work. why do they have 25+ people on staff. why does an episode of ghost files take hundreds of thousands of dollars to produce. why did they hype this up like it was a good announcement. why did the announcement sound weird and defeated. they had to have been bringing in 100k-200k a month. do they think they can get streaming service numbers to match that. why didn't they ease people into it. how does an episode of ghost files takes over 100k to produce. why are there 25 people on staff. i know movie production companies with less people. why did you do this.

"we wanna keep the price low enough where anybody and everybody is able to afford it" for an unnecessary $6 a month subscription from the mouth of someone who drives a tesla and wants to make a show where he judges whether a dish with edible gold and caviar on top of it is "worth it" while the majority of their audience is struggling to make rent is giving high key let them eat cake energy

i'm seeing that y'all are gonna let watcher control the narrative and act like we misunderstood them and they were never gonna remove their stuff from youtube. you can say whatever you want about their streaming service, but one thing is a fact: they are lying to us pretending that was not their intention and we're spreading misinformation. we not only aren't stupid and understood the video correctly, but also they told variety that that's what they were doing.
