Update: I was not aware that they had a patreon, I saw the merch but must’ve missed that. Their patreon features extra exclusive content and has around 12,000 supporters. After hearing about the patreon I can confirm that my opinion has changed. This decision was made out of pure greed. These guys should really hire a financial advisor if they really think they need more money for the content they make when people don’t even specially like them for their overproduced content.

[@larryalvares1369]

Ryan and Shane were part of my CHILDHOOD. Seeing them ruin their reputations is very upsetting to me

[@makemesmile1839]

This is exactly what I was talking to my friends about when we were discussing this dumpster fire. Not only are they alienating their current fans; there’s so little room to grow. As much as I LOVE Ryan and Shane’s series; it would NOT be something I could convince family and friends to PAY to watch. *I* wouldn’t even pay to exclusively watch their current content. I’d pay to support them, but not like this.

[@annienunyabiz6627]

@@makemesmile1839 Yep. The only show I care about from them is their Ghost Files, and I'm not paying 6 bucks a month for a show that's only around a few weeks a year. Besides, the last season was awful so that's just an extra reason not to keep watching.

[@avsambart]

While I also don't think their main goal is greedy, hearing that they don't make enough money from ads, merch, patreon, videos and live shows rings alarm bells for me. They need to seriously look at their spending, rebudget their shows (especially cos many fans have come out saying they don't gaf at all about high production and high budget shows) and cut down their staff (I'm sorry but I can't understand why they would need more than 12 employees in their office) and possibly get a smaller office.

[@4kach24]

Yeah, I've watched a bit of their bts doc They took time to tell about their production and Stevens role in the company They are clearly working with professionals (for example, people,who create sets) and take pride in it,but it's really expensive I see that they are very ambitious But it was a bad financial move on their part in order to grow the company

[@beebeelicious]

Even their merch is more experienced than everyone else's.

[@annienunyabiz6627]

They admitted they hire freelancers, which means contractor prices. They could cut costs by hiring full time. And if they're having to have freelancers when they already have 25 employees, then they have employees that could/should be doing more or can be let go to make those freelancers employees. Add to that the costs of the super expensive meals for Lim's projects, and I suspect they're also wasting money on production costs that aren't needed/could be cut. I also wonder if some people are being paid way more than they should be getting paid.

[@pettykittyfam]

Yeah it's absolutely 💯 greed

[@tarzina]

they do not need 25 employees! they are not making movies here, part of the fun is low key production frankly! look at Simon Whistlers many channels, he has a few writers and a editor and a person who puts in music and memes. he is filming himself. that’s it! he has shows coming out all the time , Watcher has made a huge mistake hiring people they really don’t need for the most part.

[@Thegrrog]

Shane does not look or sound happy. I get the feeling he’s saying all these lines with gritted teeth thinking in his head “I know this is a terrible idea, but if I don’t follow along they’ll kick me out of a company I cofounded”

[@luca1847]

He's probably thinking, "Oh no, I won't be able to dye my hair again"

[@historypaul1657]

If you've ever had to work in a major business, I can understand it. I was a manager at FallCart, and corporate would make the Dumbest decisions, and youd just have to try your best... And oftentimes, theyd just reverse that decision a couple months down the road, too! Like arrrrrgh. It was so frustrating and stupid. So yeah, I can imagine some people probably didnt like the decision, but as employees, you have to keep running with it.

[@Thegrrog]

@@historypaul1657 the thing is Shane isn’t just some employee he’s one of the cofounders of the channel/business. But I guess the same concept applies, he doesn’t like it but has to follow the majority of the company. It’s just sad that this whole thing had to happen.

[@nc5193]

This was my observation too. Shane looks almost, defeated like he has been out voted. His body language, no usual shane enthusiasm and "if this is my last time on youtube" maybe he is hoping they would reverse the CEO's choice.

[@pinkbunny6218]

If you look add Shane's body language he is leaning away from them both as they are leaning towards each other. Shane is definitely the odd one out.

[@heathermolnar8402]

The fact that they keep talking about having to make better and bigger content is ridiculous. The sets are obnoxious already since they moved to watcher. It lost all the charm they had on buzzfeed. I consistently rewatch their old buzzfeed stuff when they just sat at a desk and talked.

[@jackbrown3689]

exactly i dont know how people still mistake the fact that its the lack of scripts and flashy sets that made youtube and killed TV nobody in 2024 is looking for fancier production values in fact based media

[@makemesmile1839]

Agreed. Listen, I’m glad they feel proud they have upped their production quality, but to place it on the fans and something THEY want is crazy. The fans were happy watching them around a desk, and with their other series Too Many Spirits; hell people were happy just watching them get drunk around a campfire in plastic lawn chairs. It’s clear fans never cared for “netflix style” production.

[@babayaga4320]

The sheer narcissism of this move is mind-blowing. I'm sure asking your high school, and college aged subscribers, to add yet another subscription service, will go over beautifully. If your production costs are too high, lower them, nobody is watching because you think you have to hire an entire crew of people, at every location you go, do some sh*t yourselves.

i watched buzzfeed unsolved cuz of these two dues just f'ing around a scary haunted house. i never wanted to another discovery ghost files show. weirdest decision by far

[@GaryMcSnail]

Nice video! I think you covered this very fairly as someone who doesn't know the channel. To clarify why fans are calling them greedy, it's largely because one of the three guys has (or had) expressed very progressive, anti-capitalist views over the years, even before "eat the rich" became popular during the pandemic. His name is Shane and has openly expressed even at Buzzfeed that he thinks rich people are horrible, pirating is good, and other things like this. Ryan has generally supported this, or at least has never argued this outright to my knowledge. Steven, I don't know anything about. So fans (like myself) definitely feel this is a stab in the back and gives us reason to believe those people we liked have taken a turn for the worst and are now people they have told their fans to dislike

[@makemesmile1839]

Steven is very much capitalistic and greedy. His series about eating expensive foods, traveling, the fact he has a Tesla, it’s clear he has a taste for rich things.

No, they still be KZbinrs, if they needed money they could have opened up memberships. Hot take. The video was set up as a financial incentive instead of a creative standpoint. It was a bad decision. This is a 10 million+ decision. Let's be honest they are relatively a small channel.

everyone's boycotting them for their own good, it sucks but im afraid watcher wont recover from this ever again

[@Nagarath16]

I'm 95% sure that Sam Reich and Dropout would have been open to work with them. Watcher already have had some dropout cast members in their videos - so not like there isn't any connections to at least talk about collab or contract partnership. That would have been good match for both sides. Unless behind the scenes Watcher people have burn some bridges, they basically had already HUGE bridge to the best possible solution. Why couldn't they work with Dropout? Why couldn't they at least ask Dropout people and Sam Reich for advice, because those people would have know to tell them that this is a bad idea and will make them fall? How they didn't even try to take that huge opportunity, if they think that Nebula and KZbin memberships aren't for them? Something is very weird, because not like they didn't know or not like they didn't have wiser people around to ask. So I'm not going to be nice and act like this was silly mistake and not out of greed or ego. Because there was so many way better option to try first. It's a bit fishy.

[@mqzd24]

This was exactly my thought, it seems like they thought their audience would support them the way that the collegehumor audience supported dropout, but the issue is that dropout/collegehumor was much, much bigger than watcher. I feel like if they had even consulted the dropout folks before making this decision they would have had a much different outcome

[@andrewkirk4719]

Honestly if they did a similar CH/Dropout thing, I would actually pay for it. If they kept publishing goodies to KZbin and used the streaming platform for bigger production stuff or whatever they have in mind, I would absolutely be interested in checking it out. The way they framed the whole transition, saying "we hope to see you there but if not oh well" just seems so incredibly disrespectful to people who have supported them for so many years now

[@Nagarath16]

@@andrewkirk4719 This. Many other have said the same and I would think this would have been one of the first advice Watcher get if they had ask some.

Btw they arent on their "own website" its a site ran and owned by VIMEO OTT. Theres NO guarantee there will be NO ADS.

[@mustwereallydothis]

I believe the only market research they did on this plan of theirs was to look at their subscriber count and multiply it by 6. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and say that they probably divided that number in half, because surely even they aren't so foolish as to believe that more than half of their subscribers would follow them on this ridiculous adventure of theirs, but they are in for a very rude awakening. Even if, and it's a huge if, enough people subscribe to their "streaming service" to keep them amd their 25 employees housed and fed, how how do they plan to attract new viewers as the original bunch fade away? Do they honestly expect the odd teaser upload on a defunct KZbin channel to keep bringing them new subscribers? Without a steady stream of quality content, they will be quickly dropped by the algorithm. Their previews, teasers and first videos in each series will have virtually no audience.

[@annegrey3780]

It was really nice of them to say goodbye and thank everyone who wasn't following them onto their new Streaming Service. It's nice they took the time to say goodbye to and thank their entire fan base at once - most KZbinrs don't get the opportunity to do that.

[@nothobbesmufc949]

on top of the fact they've lost around 60k subscribers at this point, just a day after the video launched, you're missing one HUGE problem. The drop off rate for subscription services. Who is going to replace those ppl who do sign up? If they get that 1% (which I doubt given their lack of content but I'll humor you.) How many do they lose in month 2? Let's say they launch the new content, and it sucks. it's steven lim laughing through the screen while bathing in caviar and champagne. They get a huge dump of subscribers. Who's replacing them? How are they going to reclaim so many ppl? Your view that this makes sense and is a good decision is ONLY predicated on them keeping that 1% of viewers which they won't. If they made it 3 months with a full membership of those that joined, that STILL isn't more than they were previously making from youtube and patreon and sponsorships.
