people keep comparing the WatcherTV move to Dropout (for obvious reasons) but I cannot emphasize enough how vastly different the circumstances between the companies is. like astronomically different

• Watcher does not have the years of experience that Dropout/CollegeHumor did. CH as a company formed in 1999. They've been doing sketch comedy since the early 2000s. they were a company, like an actual company with offices and departments and everything. Watcher hasn't even existed for 5 years

• Because CH has been established for that long, not only do they have an established connection to the industry, but they have an established fan base already. People that knew about and were fans of CH for over a decade, before Dropout was even a thought in someone's head.

• When Dropout was in its infancy, CH was still under their parent company IAC, they weren't roughing it completely on their own the way that Watcher is. They were later dropped by IAC, but having that connection and funding in the vulnerable start was important

• CH was still posting sketches and skits on YouTube for free while filling out Dropout's catalog. They didn't hard shift into exclusively subscription based, they continued doing both for the first couple years in order to help get Dropout established. Even now, they still occasionally post full episodes for free on YouTube, including whole seasons of Dimension 20

• They have a large rotating cast that they move between multiple shows. They have a variety of content and a variety of entertainers to be guests on shows. Watcher has 3 guys which the occasional guest

• A big part of this transition is because Watcher's episodes have a high production cost. That's what they claim. That it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to film one episode of Ghost Files. but why?? why does it cost that much?? I get cost of travel for talent and crew but hundreds of thousands of dollars per episode?

• When IAC dropped CH and they went bankrupt in 2020, they only had 7 employees. When Sam Reich bought the company, they only had 7 employees. not twenty five. I'm not advocating for laying off people, but maybe they shouldn't be payrolling more people than they can afford

• also. Sam Reich is very vocal about how Dropout surviving and succeeding was nothing short of a miracle. They didn't get that success because the business model works, they got that success from years of networking, hard work, and pure luck

the hilarity of people defending watcher going “if you don’t support them you hate indie artists you entitled pieces of shit 😡 they’re just my uwu striggling artist babies and you’re the one in the wrong”

IT’S DRIVING ME INSANE!!! of course i understand that as a company that employs 25 people (which, what???) you ought to make profit, but there are plenty of others ways they could’ve done it without shitting on their audience that consists of teenagers who don’t make their own money, broke college students and young adults who are living paycheck to paycheck. not to mention the audacity to say anyone can afford to pay $6/month like newsflash you fucking la elitists some of us don’t have that kind of money and get pretty excited about having $20 to spare. and doing this in the middle of an economic crisis???? and not even considering how that affects fans outside the us. they can go fuck themselves. i’m not paying for steven lim’s besties to eat some overly expensive food. i feel for their employees who probably didn’t sign up for all this bullshit, but i do not feel for shane, ryan and steven. they dug themselves into this hole and now they need to face the consequences

as a sidenote something that drives me insane is how people aren’t willing to criticize their faves when they fuck up. they’re just as human as us and they’re bound to make mistakes, and some of them will be very very bad. you don’t have to worship every single decision or thought they have. it’s okay to dislike certain aspects of your favorite artist/celebrity/youtuber/etc.

not watcher fans organizing a way to gift a bunch of subscriptions to their new streaming platform to fans who can't/won't pay for it.......full fucking offense, can y'all go buy an esim for someone in Gaza

the lengths people go to defend celebrities/content creators/otherwise people who don’t care about them in the slightest is sickening. people are mentally sick. if you worship celebrities please never come at me with your bullshit “anti-capitalism” because you will never be dedicated to any real movement as long as you keep dedicating your emotional energy to rich people
