What I wouldn't give for the glory days of powerpoints and colored text on a screen. Genuinely shocked and upset bc I never saw them pulling the rug out from under us like that and now I feel like everything was just a mask the whole time; like how much of it was even real and about the fun, the content (it may have better visuals and stuff but it doesn't come close to comparing in overall quality to Unsolved) and the community?
see that we've moved into "they apologised so you are toxic for not forgiving" phase of cope. this is where I finally realise they did fire me as a fan. I don't fit in with the people that are left anymore.
they told us they're better than yt. that the audience who got their channel to where it is today is no longer bougie enough for them. that's absolutely anathema to why I watched them in the first place. ah well

This, except nothing could get me to pay for that streaming service.
I think the thing that’s leaving a bad taste in my mouth about Watcher is I always felt like a fan, like part of the joke, now I feel like a dollar amount.
I still love the boys, (I don’t have an opinion on Steven, never knew him aside from his bartending on Too Many Spirits) I just feel disappointed. Like your uncles suddenly saying they won’t visit anymore unless you pay them, and you would because you love them, but didn’t they want to see you in the first place? Didn’t you used to be enough?

my take is it’s not just about the money, and them relinquishing the paywall doesn’t solve anything for me. i will never be able to look at them the same. they’ve shown that they ARE the rich people they always taught us to hate. they play fast and loose with their money and their fan base. they're disloyal. they’re out of touch. they’re not the people we thought they were and there’s no coming back from that.
goodbye watcher.

yeah well okay. I appreciate that they're addressing the situation and that they're apologizing and showing that they've understood the real reasons for the extreme backlash. with that being said, im not gonna re-subscribe. at least not for now. just because they said exactly what we wanted to hear this time doesn't mean the things they initially said didn't show their true beliefs about their audience and that just compromised their credibility for me. it'll leave a sour aftertaste to watch any of their content from now on knowing they have made it clear they don't actually value me as a viewer and would have gone through with it if it hadn't been for the huge backlash. and i say all of this with a heavy heart because they were one of my all time favorite youtube channels and i have a lot of fond memories in relation to it and especially the community surrounding it. i do respect their move to own up to it and admit their mistake but my trust in them is so broken that part of me can't help but think that staying on youtube was once again another purely money-driven decision because they realized they are in fact dependent on the peasant ad revenue now that the streamer got such harsh criticism. to say the ice they're on is thin is an understatement. gonna watch their next moves very carefully and if i smell any bullshit i'm out for good

Watcher fans, as someone who has seen this rodeo happen to other internet groups and companies time and time again, I suggest not letting your guard down just because they made an update response to their video.
Cos it always starts of with "guyssss nothing is gonna change, everything is going to exactly the same with only some minor changes dont worry! uwu"
And guess what? It's almost and undoubtedly a lie. Every single time I see this happen they slowly roll new things and change it for the worst. "Nothing's gonna change!" and then a year down the line everything is completely different and bad and it's too late to fix it and they have your money so at that point they're not gonna care.
Biggest example I can best describe is Roosterteeth cos I used to be a fan of them for years. They pulled the "nothing's gonna change we're just gonna post stuff a week later than members will get to see" stunt so many times years ago and guess what? They're shutting down this week because it all came to bite them in the end.
I'm not like suddenly anti Watcher or anything in fact I'm glad they're still keeping the youtube channel up but I've been through this rodeo before and this like the easiest corporation tactic to slowly turn the heat up and make shit worst until you the frog notices too late to get out of that boiling pot. The only difference in Watcher is that they did a dumb and accidentally spoiled the ending for the frog before they could turn up the heat and boil it.
Big companies like Disney did it. Small companies like Roosterteeth did it. And now Watcher's doing it. Don't fall for it. "Oops sorry!" Isn't gonna cut it when you break the trust of your audience to that extent. People's opinions of them are never gonna be the same, and everything that has occurred (the video, the silence, the targetted backlash commenting they did and what's gonna happen at the live tour tmr) should make everyone think twice before spending your well earn money on their sketchy platform.

Few things in life are more romantic to me than gifs 3 & 4 like; it's the perfect and lethal combination of sexual tension and pure, old-fashioned devotion and romance

Another thing that makes me laugh hysterically; like yeah maybe some of the subtler moments are lost on you when you watch it as a kid, but even then what part of them ripping up a Nazi flag and running away over the mountains at the end did y'all not understand??

30 movies that absolutely devastated me in alphabetical order
Cinematic experiences that made me cry, made me cry, haunted me with a days-long feeling of emptiness, made me vent about the Injustice, and/or stunned me with their harsh realities and lessons
Doomed by the narrative. The love was there. Right person wrong time. The uniquely angst-ridden female experience. Being forced to grow up too fast. Self-destruction. Revenge. Star-crossed lovers. Striving for something unattainable or just plain failing to reach your obsessive goal. The ends didn't justify the means. What might have been. Corruption arcs. Bittersweet redemption arcs. Bittersweet endings. The senseless cruelty that the world sometimes thrusts upon random and innocent people. There's a sprinkle of everything here.

it’s actually SO funny to me that the only conceivable circumstance in which Captain von Trapp would allow his family to sing in public is literally running away from the Nazis
