Alright, so I've been a fan of Shane, Ryan and even Steven since their buzzfeed days and I've been watching this whole thing with Watcher moving their content over to their own streaming service debacle.
Like most ppl, I think it's a poor business move to alienate your fans like this, but I've been thinking on it more from maybe a financial perspective. I'm wondering how many people actually signed up for it. I saw a tiktok advertising expert say that the conversion rate for ads--meaning the number of ppl to actually buy something when they see an ad is about 1-5%. Like, right now they have about 2.8 million subscribers. And even though they've lost about 50K since and counting, they probably anticipated some loss. I'm sure they've mathed that if they just get at least like 100K conservatively out of their nearly 3 million fanbase to sign up, they'd be able to make $600K a month from their streaming service at six bucks a pop each month.
Maybe that's worth it? I'm not exactly sure how much they were making before. Ppl say they had 11K subscribers on patreon before but that's just their member total. Actual paid members was about 5K. But despite the controversy, their patreon member count has actually gone up. Today it sits at 12K members total with nearly 6K members paying. So they're making at least $30K-70K+ a month currently on patreon based on their offered tiers. not sure how much they were making on ad revenue alone or sponsors cuz I'm not sure how that stuff works on youtube. But maybe by their own accounting they think the loss of followers was worth it if they can hang on to that small, loyal but paying minority.
Another youtuber has pointed out that if you have a sponsor for a video and it's a one off, it can pay more. Up to $35K. So if that is the peak and they release 1 video a week, so 4 a month would be like 140K a month on sponsor money. And youtube pays about $10 per 1000 views a video, and they average 1 mil each video. So about $40K a month on views. So we can guess that they made about $180K a month currently on youtube (patreon and merch sales not included).
Honestly, if they can reach the goal of 1-5% of their subscribers converting to their streaming platform, yeah they probably would make more money in the long run. IF they can somehow manage to retain as well as grow those number of subscribers on their new platform. And don't forget, they don't plan to delete their current videos on their youtube channel so they'll still be earning revenue from those videos. We'll have to see I guess given how much goodwill they've lost with their audience.
Tbh, I am all for them trying to get paid more for their work but I also think they could have transitioned much differently, like only putting some exclusive content on their own platform while also posting free shows to youtube. Or maybe delaying releases for a week or a month for youtubers. or cutting back your production costs if it's really killing you cuz everyone has pointed out they liked the ghoul boys when it was just a black screen with text scrolling by saying "wheeze." Only time will tell if this move paid off for them.
But I'm not super knowledgeable on how the entire youtube thing works so if someone has some insight, feel free to weigh in.
#watcher#shane madej#ryan bergara#steven lim#its not a bad business move tbh if they get guaranteed 6 bucks each month each subscriber#and they don't have to care about the views/what is popular because they are no longer paid by how well a video does#also i am really tired of ppl placing the blame on one person#like i get that we all have faves and maybe some are problematic#but that doesn't make your faves innocent cinnamon rolls okay#they all made that decision together#text post#personal

"I understand why Penelope didn't tell Colin about LW, that was a huge risk and could have put her in an uncomfortable situation." So, for some that I've seen with this rhetoric, you can understand her not wanting to tell Colin about a gossip blog she wrote that, not only, made repeated digs at the queen (who's on her neck mind you) but HIS OWN family as well but can't understand why Marina, who was pregnant and left out of options, would conceal her pregnancy from him to protect herself and her children from the threat of being thrown out? Hmm.
#bridgerton#colin bridgerton#anti penelope featherington#more so anti pen stans so to speak#penelope featherington#marina thompson#tbh both were wrong to keep it from him not gonna deny that bc they were in rough spots#but it's not lost on me how some have more sympathy for pen (even though her actions caused many people harm)#(and were done at her own free will---no one forced her---keep that in mind)#whereas marina was an unmarried lower class pregnant woman during the regency era in a family that didn't want her#there are a lot of racial dynamics at play in this conversation to bc fandom is always quick to villainize a p(w)oc over their problematic#yte fave it's a tale as old as time sadly

the real struggle of being a jiang cheng stan is that the one thing i do actually side-eye him for is also the thing that literally none of the antis give a shit about
#mdzs#jiang cheng#they can't even roast my problematic fave in the right way....it's rough out here#tbh this might actually be better for me. if the antis did actually start bashing jc for the thing i side eye him for#i would actually have to take the L. seething coping etc.#but as things are they only focus on shit that either isn't true or just isn't bashing-worthy so i can freely dismiss their arguments#yanyan speaks

i love you fucked up short stories. youll always be famous to me.
#watching a vid abt the lottery which is one of my faves bc im basic but i love it#i always get so mad hearing abt the hate mail she got. leave my girl alone!!!!!#iirc her mom was even like ‘’why cant you be normal :( why cant you be a nice woman :(‘’#also i love how some mail was like ‘’this is an evil misrepresentation of humans by a sick and evil woman. SHES the real monster bc she fant#fantasizes about this sick demented content’’ and then theyd go ‘’what small town did this happen in? who did you slander?’’#tbh it makes me feel a bit better abt tumblr. internet hasnt made people like this. its always been like this#if the lottery came out today we’d probably get posts calling jackson an evil problematic bitch#anyways i should reread my shirley jackson short story collection and also read the other collection i got#that actually includes the lottery#echoed voice#if the lottery came out today we’d have tumblr users shaming the author for the ending#and writing a ‘’happy ending’’ where tessie was saved and whisked off to a lovely liberal town where nothing bad happens#and going ‘’see this is so much nicer. why couldnt that mean bitch author do a wholesome ending like this’’

Fuck characters that made you question your sexuality. What character made you question your gender? I'll go first (Btw I haven't gotten past season 2, I tried watching the show 3 or 4 times growing up and I never did for some reason. I'm trying to finish the show now but I feel like I'm cursed)

ALSO THIS ANIME IS SO PROBLEMATIC BUT IT'S SO FUNNY AND I HATE THAT

#rambling about tv#istg im cursed#vld pidge#voltron legendary defender#please no spoilers#why do i procrastinate so much#its such an awful habit#but i still do it#i could've finished this years ago#here i am though#at least the world healed from it#trans#ohshc#ohshc haruhi#ohshc needs a less problematic season 2#maybe its just me who thinks that#problematic fave show tbh#I'm literally the homosexual supporting cast

Johnny Silverhand, Kerry Eurodyne, Rogue Amendiares and Alt Cunningham are a bisexual polycule to ME. To you they're dysfunctional at best. To me, they're lovers with an unbreakable bond.

"3 things you want to know about me" HMM... top 3 favorite fictional old men? :P
TOP THREE THIS IS SO CRUEL.... HOW'S A BITCH MEANT TO PICK. But okay, FINE. XDD I'm picking ones who've been around the longest heh

1. Leonard "Bones" McCoy! I've loved him since I was in single digits watching TOS on my grandma's tiny portable kitchen TV heh. Absolute smokeshow, gorgeous accent, the works. I love one cranky doctor!!! He's smart, he's got heart, I adore his humanism and his friendship (and more!!!) with Jim, and oh my god, his blue blue eyes. And his forearms. And his EYEBROW and his fluffy hair!!!


2. Sartauvoir quo Soranus of FFXIV IVth Legion! He's a sadistic pyromaniac whose favourite pastime is burning people alive, and he's p obviously in love with his superior Basch van Gabranth (pictured here smooching his BEAUTIFUL FACE) who died 30 years before the bit of the game Sart is in. His bit of game is heavily Ivalice-based, hence the Basch heh. He transforms into a giant fire monster during his duels and has a penchant for summoning phoenixes and time magick fuckery, he's so much fun and is my absolute beloved. He has truly like a total of 20 minutes of game time and not a single cutscene and I adore him with every fibre of my being!!

3. This is a toss-up, but forever loves must win out: Doctor Cid, of FFXII! He's one of my fave kind of characters - super smart scientisty dudes who are a bit morally dubious and also antagonists 🥰🥰 I love the way he speaks, his beautiful nose and how chubby he is, and his stupid long thighboots and his super active way of gesticulating andandand- well ofc his relationship with Vayne. Obviously. And his little purple tie and his greying hair and WELL. HIS EVERYTHING.
#ask quail#old man bone zone#THIS WAS SO HARD HAHA#Thank u for the ask!!! 💚💚💚#I tried not to go on my sartbasch and cidvayne manifesto but what's a girl to do lol#I also managed to not pick more than one xiv guy although I have another three I could have listed immediately:#Lyon rem Helsos and Menenius sas Lanatus also from bozja with Sart!#and Gaius van Baelsar my other main biggest xiv love!!#and then there's Quintus van Cinna and Varis zos Galvus my other problematic faves.....#tbh they're all problematic faves cos xiv fandom has a problem where they equate all Garleans with being nazis???#which is one of the main reasons I have so much of that fandom blocked and all the tags muted here LOL#ANYWAY THANK U AGAIN FOR THE ASK!! 🥰🥰

I don't even stan Mikasa but "she only cares about Eren" will never be a point for why she's poorly written. She does care about her friends, literally the "mom" friend and is the first to help gabi and falco. It's just that a majority of her scenes are with Eren(mc privilege).
But even so she's allowed to be selfish, she only cares about saving one boy? fine 👌🏼. She's allowed that. She would've never chosen the corps if he didn't, she wanted a quiet life with him and she's allowed to wish for that.
People love male characters doing the "idc about anyone else but (my love interest) ", why do different standards apply to her?
There is a lot to say about isayama failing to do justice to his female characters, some start off strong and get sidelined as the story moves past, then get shoved into a romantic plot? (Annie, Mikasa), few are well written,however briefly it may be(gabi,historia, og ymir )
I am asking you to look at this from a completely unbiased view, regardless of who your favourite character/ship is especially because this is such a common criticism for her.
#attack on titan#shinkegi no kyojin#eren yeager#eren jaeger#mikasa ackerman#hajime isayama#tbh the whole obsession with eren never bothered me cuz girl same#i also day dream about making my problematic fave a flower crown in the sunny fields#mikasa is a representation of the loki girlies#the Klaus mikaelson girlies#historia was well written bc her not giving a fck about rest of the world burning - accurate sapphic representation to me

not to make the only analysis of her ever bc no one talks about drop dead gorgeous but thinking about how lisa swenson spends much of the movie talking about her (gay) older brother peter and his drag shows and his acting with so much love and how her room is covered in posters for broadway shows and it and nyc (famously/stereotypically gay city, esp broadway) are recurring motifs with her and how much of her character is centered on him. on his performance, especially of femininity. and how joining the pageant (a performance of femininity) is just what girls do in mount rose. and how when she quits (the "just what girls do" performance of femininity) and gives amber her costume so she can compete despite an establishment (gladys leeman and all she represents as far as class and privilege and gender performance go) stacked against her, she says it's fine because she wouldn't win, comparing herself to peter, saying, "this family only needs one liza and peter's got much better legs". one of them can perform femininity in a way that's fun and impressive and she's not it, to her. how she says her parents won't be that mad since they only had her to give peter one of her kidneys, as if it doesn't matter, just a sad fact of her life that she is second to him. how she is second to him, how this is gendered. how she gives amber a suit in a performance that's all dresses, how that nyc-stained (and thus queer-stained) costume is eventually what carries her to the top, to the national level of girl performance, which she walks away from as it falls apart due to capitalistic corruption (tax evasion/fraud, specifically). how they kiss each other's cheeks and hold each other. how she is more upset than amber is that she doesn't win, how when her father scolds her for quitting by comparing her to peter, she screams that he's gay. how it sounds like that's something obvious to her that he didn't know, either because peter told her or because she sees his queerness in his actions. how she is filled with such a genuine passion and love and charisma that despite all this she does not feel like a character made as a plot device, whose sole trait is that she loves her gay broadway brother, but that she is a young queer woman dealing with the staunch, conservative gender roles of her hometown (an early scene has the pageant staff shut talking liberal women and their hairy armpits and dressing like men) compared to that fantasy world of queer nyc, with her queer brother and his drag shows. she puts herself second and compares herself to others because that is how her parents treat her, but she still has her own vivacity. she is a person. and even though she didn't get to sing new york, new york in her suit, she uplifted another girl she thought deserved her shot at upending the leemans' system. it's noble and it's sad and i really really like her and i hope she got to nyc someday, where she could kiss girls and kick it with peter. that's all
#sorry this is incoherent but whatever. just gonna say drag and pageantry are feminine performances but lisa chooses the gnc route and also#i think shes gay and im gonna circle her patterns of placing herself second and queerness and escape from mt rose and i just. augh#tbh i could probably focus on several characters like this. like i think becky is interesting in the performance thing too#and tbh i just adore loretta and amber. i like annette too if im being real#cast full of problematic faves#anyway#drop dead gorgeous#lisa swenson#look nobody's talking about this godforsaken movie but i will. even if it's specifically this minor character#for now :)#need to post more unhinged thoughts about characters/media i otherwise never post about. i have a satsuki klk draft i never posted#maybe I'll go find that. later though#also side note her laugh is so gut meltingly cute like. oh my god i love women. perfect shit rip brittany murphy
