Remaking a meme I made this weekend after the Watcher apology

Though Ursula K. Le Guin's novel "The Lathe of Heaven" is regarded as a classic of science fiction, her sequels "The Band Saw of Purgatory" and "The Benchtop Drill Press of Hell" are less well known.

Me seeing the new watcher video knowing I’m a broke college student who cannot afford to pay another monthly subscription 😭

[snallyghosted]

I don’t think the Watcher TV move is being made out of greed. They have high production costs, and artists do deserve to be paid for their work. I do, however, think it is a monumentally stupid decision.

First of all, who in their right minds thinks the best way to announce a paywall is a hyped up countdown to a “big surprise”? They literally set themselves up with that.

Second, this is not sustainable. People have been comparing it to other creator-run streaming services like Dropout or Nebula, but those services have bigger audiences, bigger casts, and way more frequent uploads. In Dropout’s case, its more than three times the content (at least) for the same price.

I’m not gonna argue about how it sucks for people who can’t afford it. Unfortunately “artists deserve to be paid” and “everyone deserves art to bring them joy” are both contradictory but true. I will however point out that the majority of Watchers’ audience is young or lower-income. Pricing has to be decided with your target audience in mind.

This didn’t happen because Watcher got insanely evil and greedy, and its true that artists deserve to be paid.

But this was an objectively bad decision no matter where you stand. If Watcher doesn’t change course I will not be surprised to hear them declare bankruptcy in a year or two.

Drama aside, here’s a little comic

CC Tinsley was also invited but mysteriously disappeared right before the meeting

every time something major on the internet happens I dust off my tumblr account and reblog a spn finale meme pertinent to the current situation

respectfully, this is a TERRIBLE idea and you’re about to lose the majority of your fanbase, myself included, because we can’t afford to eat, let alone subscribe to another streaming service

ok so ryan told variety that they AREN’T taking all the youtube backlog down. so they’re panicking but doing something so it’s not as much of a jumpscare. i’m cool with this, i can learn to live with only the previous videos.

wonder how the watcher office is doing rn

very intrigued to see how this will play out. unfortunately i can’t afford (college student with literally no other streaming services) and i’ve got super mixed feelings about this. def thinks this will polarize the fanbase (just check the current like/dislike ratio) and it’s really unfortunate that the old videos will be private. i send puppet history episodes to my professors sometimes and now i won’t be able to do that :/

We’re Leaving YouTube

Those Poor Bastards and The Devil Makes Three are the reasons I love country as long as it’s *gothic* country.

Everyone may *think* they hate country music, but when Jolene, Before He Cheats, Take Me Home Country Roads, or Life is a Highway comes on, everyone is suddenly a liar.
