The Watchers KILLED Their Youtube Career

This video dives deeper on the reasoning behind the Watcher's decision to start their own platform and move away from KZbin. As we all know, there has been huge backlash by the KZbin community for this controversial decision.
But their reason is a lot more complex than you might think it is. If you want to learn why, watch this video.

I think coming from a corporation, which had multiple financial revenues, they didn’t fully understand the independent youtube model and were financially irresponsible on top of it. They thought their revenue was more stable than it was and they started during Covid, when advertisers saw us a more captive audience due to being home all the time. Watcher thought things could only go up and hired way too many people. I also find it odd that KZbinrs have a CEO… seems like a means to give a friend a job… what they really need is a CFO, only because they are so irresponsible, but to tell them, “No.” Their ideas for creating extra income make no sense. They should already have been offering their Patreon videos a month ahead. From what I hear, their merch is the most expensive. Someone said they bought a hoodie for $80. I’d never pay more than $45. Instead of going the Nebula route, they took on more expense. They want to make more expensive content. Irresponsible as hell, and they want to make us pay for their mistakes?

The two major resons are: 1) Steven 2) Lim

They all made the decision, don’t just pin it on two people

yep

@@vincentjonesvr I’m aware Steven Lim is one person, but Shane and Ryan are on the team too. I find it very difficult to believe they were forced into this or had no input in it…and very strange that so many seem to believe that

Talented creators, poor businessmen.

Production quality is necessary, but only to the point that it would have limited the video otherwise. Beyond that, we get too close to traditional television: Sensational and vapid.

Their content has been pretty soft in the last year or two. There's no reason they needed to hire 25 people to make most of these videos. The entire "Are You Scared" series was horrible and consisted of the guys reading poorly written amatuer horror. There was a similar series where they also drank. Even Ghost Files isn't nearly as good as old Unsolved Supernatural, becuase Ryan isn't scared of everything anymore. Also, I'm not convinced they really travel that much. The last on-location episode was over six months ago and it's just some family home.
