I think Smartypants is single handedly going to give me the inspiration and confidence to crush my paper defense.

The fucking reading comprehension (or even hearing comprehension ffs!!)... Where the fuck did they say they're taking their stuff of YouTube ?? Not in the video that's for fucking sure. And have you maybe missed the part where they said they will continue to post on yt??? Just not everything??

Aright then.

A lot of the backlash I see right now is the anger at them (allegedly) intending to remove their old content and make it available ONLY on their service. They have made several statements (noted, only after the initial announcement vent live) clarifying everything already on YouTube will stay on YouTube.

Problem is it’s, at best optimism, hazy if that was always the plan. The variety article they pointed towards now has an edit that implies they were pulling everything. The language of their announcement was vague enough to backpedal if it got backlash. It’s unclear if this was just a horrible marketing misunderstanding or damage control.

I see a lot of people saying they wish they could support and subscribe but they don’t have the cash available for it. Especially not for what they’re getting out of it. I can’t speak to that. However, as someone who could afford to make it work and very much WANTS to support the team; my personal concerns lie more in their current model.

I don’t see it being sustainable. They have a decently sized team, 25 people in their employ, but how many of them are faces we know? How many of them could step into the shoes of host if needed. Ryan, Shane, and Steven (and they’re hoping Steven’s old Worth it gang) are the main faces of Watcher. What happens if one of em gets sick and can’t film? What happens if one of em burns out? What happens if they’re just not feeling it creatively anymore and want to pivot to something else?

I also see a lot of people saying they don’t mind “lower costing” videos, many citing Too Many Spirits as a popular and lower budget production of theirs. A lot of us liked Are You Scared, Top 5, and their gaming series.

The problem is, historically, those haven’t been the biggest pulls. For Shane and Ryan they’re known as the “Goul Boys” and their ghost hunting requires going to haunted places, as they mentioned in the announcement video. It also takes a lot of time, effort, and talent. For Steven, he’s most known from Worth it, they brought back the old team because they know this and are trying to recreate it. I’m sure that was very expensive to make and I’m sure their spinoff of it will be too. Puppet history is crushing it so it makes sense they’ll throw money into that too.

The problem with their move is that it’s too drastic of a change, too quickly, and with not enough infrastructure or research to support it long term.

I want to believe they’ll pull it off. I want them to be able to stay independent, I want more interesting and quality content from the guys and their network, I want them to grow into something that can be sustainable longer term so Shane, Ryan, and Steven don’t hold the entire company on their faces.

I wish everyone the very best.

Same, Imma write a wiggly fan fic inspired by that one wiggly Halloween episode and that one about all of em having face blindness.

I'm disappointed that, as of yet, no one has created a proper fanfic for The Wiggles. The few I do see tend to focus on the people behind the band, rather than the world the band created. And don't even get me started on the Wiggly friends.

aelwyn having 10 cats makes me want to cry actually. not because it’s goofy to have so many cats, but because like - she didn’t take care of adaine when she needed it most, but she can take care of those cats

she goes to shelters and asks for the cats who have been there the longest, who need love and care more than anything, and she gives them a home even if it’s just her tiny apartment

yes, she needs them because she is lonely and healing and she doesn’t know where she belongs in the world anymore but they need her too - to clean up their vomit and hold them and love them - and this time she is going to get it right, damn it
