My thoughts about SMOSH/Defy Media shutting down

Here's everything I've been avoiding talking about regarding Smosh's parent company, Defy Media.

Everyone I used to work with at Smosh are incredibly talented and sweet people. They didn't deserve to be treated like this.

Thank you for listening and subscribing and continuing to show so much love through everything we've been through.

Anthony and Ian should start all over. Only them. Same old house. New adventures. The real Smosh, no more of that every blank ever shit.

YouTube has been ruined by big corporations. I remember when this was "YOUtube: Broadcast Yourself". Now it's "YouTube: CLICK THIS AD"

Of coarse YouTube would be recommending this as soon as Ian and Anthony buy Smosh back

I really miss YouTube’s old slogan, broadcast yourself. Cause that’s what it USED to be, anyone could do it. Now it’s all about fancy editing, productions and shit. Take me back to 2007 man :(

3:57 You know Anthony what hurt us, hearing the words, "They owned the company and I was just an employee"

Smosh was better when it was a fun hobby between friends and not a company with employees. Turning it into a product ruined it.

Fans loved Smosh, not the company manipulating it. This is an opportunity for you and Ian to take back what’s yours from the beginning and do it your way again

Don't beat yourself up for selling SMOSH to them. You were young and didn't know and they took advantage of that. But you speaking about the hard lesson you learned will hopefully save others from shady companies like that one. 💖

Mad respect for making this. I never wanted to ask you about the details of how Smosh got acquired but it is enraging to hear this.

I hate when big companies ruin creativity and take over people's individual business and ideas and completly ruit it. Smosh was sick before they were run by a completly robotic company with no creativity.

That hurt my sole that Smosh was sold for $0. I figured you two were paid millions. You should be a wealthy man.

"Naive children who donated money to us for this game..." That's like straight-up rage you hear in his voice.

This is a lesson to young people who have something valuable. Whether it be your body(athlete, model), something you invented, a YouTube channel, or whatever else. There are going to be people who are older who see you as nothing more than a bunch of dollar signs. And they will do whatever it takes to make as much money off of you as they can. They will not be looking out for your interests at all, they will only care about how much money you make them. So if you have something valuable, get legitimate representation and know what you have and it’s worth.

You can tell Anthony really blames himself for the demise of Smosh
