“So you forgive them, just like that?”

i’ve never felt that it was a matter of forgiveness, more of if you accept to continue watching the content and creators even if you disagreed strongly with a business move. if you can move past it. forgiveness would be more personal, and imply a relationship.. which isn’t the case. i think shane and ryan are great content creators, and i find their content very entertaining, they’ve taken accountability and changed the issues i had with the streamer. why wouldn’t i come back?

“they’re still money hungry, they revealed their true colors!”

they’re a business, and they have 25 employees that rely on them. of course they’re looking for profit, and expand the business. that’s what businesses do

*john mulaney voice* the youtubers listened to the fans and genuinely apologized?.... i didnt know they knew how to do that

[bitching-barista]

I’m pretty satisfied with the watcher apology. clearly they know they did this in the wrong way and I think the changes they’ve made are good. totally understand why people were upset but I was hoping it was just a lapse in judgment because I’ve been a fan for so long. guess we’ll see how it all plays out but in terms of apology videos it was good lol

I hope they also take this as an opportunity to diversify their content. The weight of the company should not rest on Shane and Ryan producing the lion share of the content so much. They need other on screen talent so that they don’t burn out the main pull of their channel like they have been.

I personally would love to see them lean into the humanities a bit more since history related things have been a strength of theirs. Maybe have a couple of their many employees have a few small low budget shows about their special interests (art, different aspects of history, music, literature, film analysis… there’s really plenty of things they could do). I mean that’s how buzzfeed unsolved started all of this in the first place, just a guy showing his special interest to his friend and letting us be part of that.

I also think that they need to get better financial and media consultants because this has been a shit show. All in all I’m glad that they adjusted what they decided to do and I hope for the best for them

#watcher #tbh Ryan and Shane have clearly been getting burnt out by the pressure to be in so much stuff for watcher #I’m sure any of the 25 people they have could have a low budget low maintenance show about something niche and fun #watcher entertainment #shane madej #ryan bergara #steven lim

The more I hear about how they’ve been running their company the more similar they are and the sadder I get

#watcher #parks and rec #the watcher logo is actually cool but structure of the company is just like Tom’s fictional company #I wish they had hired a consultant or something when building their company because it really could have been great #watcher entertainment #steven lim #ryan bergara #shane madej

[bitching-barista]

So… hearing about how watcher has been managing their company reminded me of something

#watcher #parks and rec #watcher entertainment #shane madej #ryan bergara #steven lim #too many employees too big of an office space spending money on random expensive shit just because you want to… #in all seriousness I am worried about Ryan and Shane and I hope they can find a way through all of this #they’ve seemed for a while like the company relying on them so much has burned them out so I hope they can find something better for them

[bitching-barista]

Torn between never ever wanting to make Ryan or Shane feel bad in the slightest ever and knowing this is a very stupid, confusing decision that’s been made with watcher. I really want to know who thought of this and how it got approved because it really doesn’t make sense at all. I mean aside from anything it kills their ability to grow their audience. The student workers at my job just started getting into some of the watcher shows and like they certainly aren’t going to buy a streaming service, their interest at this point is casual. They have student loans and rent that they’re worrying about and the market is over saturated, they’ll just go watch something else that doesn’t make them pay (the same probably goes for long time viewers too). It’s really just an all together baffling business decision

#watcher #as a long time viewer I’m pretty disappointed but ​I’m just going to wait and see how this all plays out #if this crashes their company then I hope Ryan and Shane find something else that they can do together #watcher entertainment #ryan bergara #shane madej #steven lim
