Clerical Terrors posted:She's explained pretty much the same thing Twitter (which she's going to change as well). Basically she just doesn't enjoy making videos anymore and wants to move on to other things. I wonder how hard it is to move from something pretty stable (if soul sucking from what every youtuber has said) to... well, anything else. The temptation to just go back and make another video must be pretty strong if things get tough.

I guess my first reaction is to be a bit suspicious of people who are too expressive in their dislike for RWBY mostly because some people really hate the show because it has LGBT characters and Vic Mignogna got fired. It's totally valid to dislike the show, it's incredibly flawed in a lot of ways, but yeah.

Captain Invictus posted:I know game grumps is profitable but is it 1200+ bucks worth of unopened card packs a week that he's not selling profitable? or is this just a gambling hit addiction I'm witnessing? Jumping around the videos, he gets multiple $100 donations per stream and the videos are monetized. It may not be 100% profitable in the short term but I doubt he's losing that much money.

Sydin posted:No, more "The bits Monty worked on are largely good but the writers ultimately failed to create compelling context around them" Okay, I ended up watching the video and you're right. I still believe the show is genuinely getting better but asking people to watch 6 seasons of middling writing is a lot. Doesn't help that the entire thing about systemic racism hbomb mentions and how they really shouldn't have tried to do it? It gets a repeat in season 7 with some systemic oppression that doesn't go anywhere. It's like the writers went "hm, racism is over, what other issue can we tackle?"

My main problem with hbomb's video is that while most of his criticism is valid, he ends with the equivalent of "and that's why this show sucks and it'll never be better" while completely ignoring the remaining four seasons. He's annoyed at the equivalent of half a 24-episode season of anime in length. Hell, even his two hour video is longer than the entire first season. RT got a writer with experience for season 6 onwards, and it shows, so there is someone in there somewhere listening, even if hbomb refuses to believe the writers can accept criticism. It's valid to dislike the show, it's tremendously flawed, but the tone of his video is just weird.

Stormgale posted:Does it though? I actually agree with that.  Terrible Opinions posted:Asking someone to wait for season 6 of anything for it to "get good" is a pretty ridiculous ask. I also agree with this. I just was complaining about hbomb's conclusion, not saying that it's worth it for anyone to actually go watch RWBY.

fun hater posted:while technically not wrong, when someone drags this comment out usually the gotcha they're trying to employ is that "classic" lit is full of hosed up poo poo, which is true. lol. i think its obvious that the horny genre, is horny. I mean, the same is true with fanfiction. It's not like the problematic content is posted untagged to be accidentally consumed by readers looking for gen stuff. Horny tags are horny, and usually behind an adult content warning.

IronicDongz posted:https://twitter.com/shaun_vids/status/1305663413289463810 Twitch doing that kind of thing kinda proves that no video hosting platform is actually profitable. They have the most popular platform after youtube with people actively buying subscriptions and bits every minute of every day and they still have to try and make more money with ads.

And of course a lot of people are now talking against Sohla because she dared to say bad things about Brad Leone, while completely ignoring everything else in the article.
