online communities are so strange because people slip away so easily. you can be on here for years, folding people you've never met into the fabric of your daily life, and then they disappear, leaving only ghost posts scattered across tumblr behind. or their blog stays dormant, for weeks, months, years, until you're only still following them because you remember that they love sunflowers or they were kind to you when they didn't have to be or the last thing they posted was sad and raw and you still worry about them sometimes.

and sometimes they come back when you least expect it, years later, even, and there's this sudden rush of relief like there you are, there you are, even though you barely knew each other.

there's a strange kind of love to it. i don't know you and i want to hold your hand across miles and time zones and oceans. i can still see the imprint of you in this community you left. you don't anyone will notice or care when you're gone, but we notice and we care and we wish you well.

i hope you're all okay out there. i hope the sun is shining on your face and you are breathing deeply. i miss you.

Absolutely AMAZING response by Watcher imo.

They acknowledged that they made a mistake, made the wider context more clear, and addressed basically all of the criticisms brought forward by the community as far as I know.

Anyone who already subscribed to the streaming service who no longer wants it gets a refund.

Patrons get a free subscription to the streaming service.

The service now only offers early, ad-free episodes that will still be released on YouTube.

They acknowledged the insensitivity of the original pitch and how the price is not something that everyone can afford.

THIS is how you respond to backlash, especially this widespread. Take time to collect your thoughts, take the criticism into account, and change your actions going forward.

Great job Watcher 👏

Watcher coming up with their new streaming service:

i am just as distraught about Watcher being put behind a paywall as the rest of you but if you put a goddamn FRACTION of the energy you use gifting subscriptions to those who don’t have access to buy them to… oh i don’t know.. buying e-sims for gaza, raising awareness about Palestine or Congo, or literally supporting Palestinians/those in Congo in anyway, it would make a significant difference.

#have not been talking about these causes enough on tumblr

If puppet history does get removed from youtube, I'd recommend fellow fans check out "Horrible Histories"

It's a great show that has:

-a puppet mascot

-humorous recreations of historical events

-quiz show elements

-songs

It's basically if puppet history was made for cable TV and had real actors instead of puppets!

#Horrible histories is maybe the best show ever created

if there's one think the watcher situation has shown me is not many ppl can see the gray area. Its always "wow capitalist losers" or "this is completely justified" its always important to like...see why they bothered to make decisions but criticize them in ways that make sense and try to support them while acknowledging its still not a good decision. Not just "its awful so THEY'RE awful now." "They can put everything behind a paywall its perfectly fine"

Free business advice. "Diversify" means you plant more apple trees while still watering and caring for your existing apple tree, so that your current supply of apples continues and you end up with more apples in the future, and so that if something bad happens to your existing apple tree, you're not totally without apples. Maybe you even plant some pears or plums.

"Diversify" does not mean you cut down your existing apple tree and burn it while trying to plant a new tree in among the flames.

Watcher is trending, but at what cost?

Oh right, $5.99

very intrigued by the people saying shane can't have agreed to this, he's being forced, look how miserable he looks etc etc, as if he's not a full grown man who has a say in things and who cofounded this company together with steven and ryan to begin with.
