I kill you

Are you really John Green? Or someone he hired to deal with us? Which is a decision I would respect lol

Like I'd pay someone to be on tumblr for me when I can get those fresh hits of dreadrenaline myself.

"When life gives you lemons" FALSE LEMONS ARE A HYBRID OF A BITTER ORANGE AND A CITRON, MEANING WE GAVE OURSELVES LEMONS

“too late”!? they literally responded the next business day! just because it’s online doesn’t mean we deserve their labor on a weekend. let them have time off.

im sorry people calling watchers response "too late" are incredibly wrong. they took two days. the original announcement was posted on friday and then they posted their response to backlash the following monday. that's a perfectly normal respone time. they took the weekend to gauge the opinion of the fans, reformed their plan and then posted an update admitting fault. im not saying i think their response was good or bad but it was definitely quick.

hey ikea? remember your disastrous bi couch campaign?

you should do a companion piece of three seater couches for ex-buzzfeed youtubers to apologize on. there’s apparently a market for it

why do the watcher boys look like they’re delivering the same type of news when they’re launching the thing they’ve been hyping for weeks!? this whole experience has been wild

choose your scandal fighter

my phone wants me to Sext the fucking electrician

rip to you guys but i love assembling ikea furniture its so fun its like legos

and they know their fans are tumblr users because any time they take comments or stories in videos, it's like 80% tumblr and 20% youtube/twitter

watcher deciding to make all their content behind a paywall and no longer accessible through Youtube is insane considering 80% of their audience are tumblr users. we are not fans of streaming services at all

As someone who has professionally watched people make dumb business decisions for the last 20 years, the Watcher subscription service raises a few red flags.

-They don't have a smart TV app available.

-They don't really have enough content to justify the price.

-Apparently some countries cannot subscribe due to credit card restrictions.

-They also didn't market this properly. I assume this has been in the works for a while. Charging money for your content when cost of living prices are skyrocketing and wages are stagnant isn't the happy surprise they think it is for their fans.

This should have been announced months ago, with a marketing plan to pitch this to existing fans as a good thing and to ease people into it. A couple months of "a reminder that we'll be subscription based only starting on this date and we can't wait to see you there. Here's what's going to make the jump worth it (pun intended) for you!" On new vids and social media. Instead, it's "surprise! We're taking down everything on YouTube in a little over a month and the site is already active byeeeee!"

Marketing wise, this feels intensely tone deaf and poorly planned.

Good luck ghoul boys. I'm interested to see if this sinks or swims.

if the world had protected itself half as much against the spreading of Corona as tumblr apparently protects itself against the spreading of posts via reblogs then summer 2020 would just be a vage memory of some beach vacation
