okay, so they did make a more clear explanation video earlier today. though, why they didn't just do that from the beginning is anyone's guess lol

tl;dw: they said that revenue for youtube isn't working out for them anymore. with animation being expensive as is, shows like rwby have to rely on outside distribution companies (most definitely referring to crunchyroll), or production partners, but otherwise, monetary support comes directly from rt's audience

again, i totally get why they're doing this, but i still think the execution of it is pretty dumb lol

Why is RT taking RVB off of YouTube?

short answer:

long answer: rt never explained why explicitly, but given that they did say that they were gonna change how the first release schedule was going to work going forward in this video, people put 2 and 2 together and figured that they're privatizing most of rvb (and camp camp... and rwby years back....) to get more traffic and revenue on the rt site

imo, it's fine in theory, but privating the complete rvb seasons the same day the announcement video went up (or at least very close to it) is extremely scummy

#i'm too lazy to make this a separate post :P #even skipping the navigation issues or the billion ads or what have you #some of the series to this day don't have subtitles on the rt site #🗣️ so the website is still ass #also i'm not a businessperson but like.#i feel like without youtube they'd only be making /less/ money bc the convenience of yt is gone right?????????#with AH gently put to rest and funhaus having a youtube membership as another way to support them #it's baffling this is happening at all since rvb will be done come next year if not sooner #and camp camp's status before the confirmation of another season months ago was radio silencefor like 6 years #and god even knows how rwby keeps getting got by time and budgetary issues almost every fucking year #like bro... i know this company is internally and externally a mess #but /sheesh/#okay rant over i'm gonna watch the funny pirate show now byyye
