Y’all are aware we probably have to keep it in the top 10 overall into at least the 19th right? One business day after initial intended marketed advertised release supposedly. Then we should be good unless Mark says otherwise.

I'm still seeing a lot of angry takes in the tags about how excessive Watcher's current costs are and how all fans really want, apparently, is "just shane and ryan sitting in a basement" back again. While I do think Watcher is probably spending over budget and that's a real issue, a lot of the takes I'm seeing show a fundamental misunderstanding of how video production works and where costs actually lie. So a few quick things that I just keep seeing that are bothering me:

It was never just Shane and Ryan in a basement. BFU did a great job selling that conceit and making sure you never saw anyone beyond them and maybe TJ, but they absolutely had other crew members with them on ghost hunts and they didn't do all the work on BFU themselves. This Q&A from Season 2 lists 36 people on staff for Buzzfeed Unsolved. It's fair to make arguments that Watcher may or may not need 25 people, but those arguments should not be coming from a place of "before it was just Shane and Ryan and nobody else."

If you don't know how many people are needed to make a professional video from a TV/film standpoint, you will not have a reasonable grasp of why Watcher wants to keep 25 people on staff. Sure, some YouTubers get by with a ring light and a contracted editor. The Watcher team have stated repeatedly that they do not want to work as just YouTubers and see themselves more as a production studio—so why do people keep referencing the YouTube model to understand their business? This is like asking the local shake shop why it doesn't function like the kids' lemonade stand down the block. The item category is similar but they're not trying for the same products or process.

The "gold dusted food" is not the big budget sink you think it is. On most TV shows I've worked on it's normal to partner with businesses that are shown onscreen and work out a deal where the price of the product (in this case the gold food) is reduced or eliminated in exchange for the free publicity. Watcher very likely made a deal with every restaurant it worked with to make the Korea trip affordable for the company. The real budget spends are on things you're probably not seeing but that still matter: camera and lighting equipment is expensive, insurance for that equipment is expensive, business overhead and paying your staff are expensive. So again—it's fine to critique Watcher for the streaming plan and the perceived budgetary issues, but go into this knowing the costs might not be coming from the things you see onscreen.

My source is that I work in TV and film and actually have a clue on how the industry functions. Again, 36 people worked on Unsolved (and those were the people mention in Season 2—who knows how big the team blew up past that in later seasons). Entertainment work is real work, and demands decent equipment, competent staff, and the same types of business and budget problems you'd find in any other business (overhead, staffing, etc.). Feel free to critique Watcher's business model, but first try to understand where that model is coming from and what goals it's attempting to serve.

There were many but the biggest red flag Mr Beast had was being the biggest Elon Musk fanboy and constantly shilling for Tesla

i've certainly seen a lot of Takes surrounding the watcher streaming service debacle, but it's pretty wild to me how "this fully fledged production company doesn't need 30 employees." is a fairly common sentiment i've observed. like first of all, 30 is on the smaller side for the number of employees a production company needs, and second of all, are you suggesting that the kinder decision for watcher to make would be to lay off most of their workers in order to keep costs down?? like can we get real for a moment???

[ragnarssons]

so huh. after watching all these youtubers (you know, people who do know how youtube works and how much money you can get off youtube and patreon and sponsorships etc) analyze watcher's numbers and statistics and all... can we finally say it's all for capitalism's sake? thanks.

[soullessjack]

idk i just think it’s a little weird that almost every character who gets the “innocent baby” / “little ray of sunshine” treatment usually ends up just having neurodivergent traits and actual negative traits in the show that nobody pays attention to. like idk man it just feels like diet infantilization to me and it’s a teeny weeny bit uncomfortable to see all the time

[mikkeneko]

pondering how despite all expectation, capitalism actually isn't very good for businesses, either

[creative-robot]

How fucked up would it be if the real experiment of the Social Experiments beyond Showfall testing out a live audience with their show was them actually genuinely shutting off their control on Ranboo and maybe temporarily(?) Charlie’s during act 3 (while having the full ability to flip it back on if/when wanted) to see what they would do and how they would react if they ever actually started to broke free, so Showfall would be able to predict and squash any attempts at getting out if something ever went wrong with their fan favorites in the future.

I'm currently seeing a lot of people in the destiny 2 community unironically saying that ACTIVISION, the company that is notorious for overworking employees was exposed for protecting sexual predators and doing nothing about the mistreatment of its employees, is better than Bungie cause "at least they gave us content". I made a comment calling this out in some yt replies, and had people say "stop defending a multi billion dollar company Bungie doesn't care" whilst failing to see the irony in the fact that they're the ones giving credit to the company that protected abusive workplace culture. People really prioritize "more content" over the safety and wellbeing of workers but then have the audacity to call you a corporation defender for calling them out on it. There's also people acting like Activision was consumer friendly in any sense of the term. Bungie absolutely should be called out for its increasingly non consumer friendly practices (raising the prices of expansions and seasons as well as the whole dungeon key thing being the main issues) but calling ACTIVISION of all companies consumer friendly, even in comparison, is not only wrong it's straight up disingenuous. I feel like I'm going insane trying to be reasonable in this community with takes so wrong on so many levels like "Bungie is worse than Activision cause Activision gave us more content and was more consumer friendly" floating around. People are really forgetting how truly despicable Activision/Blizzard was exposed for being just cause it's popular to shit on Bungie right now. We do not need to be propping up companies that are known for treating employees like shit and protecting sexual predators in order to criticise Bungie. It's insane that this needs to be said, but this community with every passing day just keeps proving that it values being angry over being helpful, so much that it's stooped to the level of acting like Activision was any better for Destiny 2 or Bungie despite us knowing how bad Activision really was and how deep that awfulness was, and knowing that it had been a big issue for a while. Do not ever brush aside or forget about what they did, cause I assure you their victims absolutely won't forget it either. And their victims surely wouldn't take too kindly to seeing gamers prioritize "more content" over the potential safety of workers. I apologize in advance if I worded anything confusingly but I'm so incredibly disappointed with this community and frustrated that there's nothing I can say to open people's eyes up to how harmful people are being.
