They already changed their minds and decided they will still post all their videos on YouTube due to the backlash.

Dropout has Brennan Lee Mulligan. Last I checked most other channels don't have a Brennan Lee Mulligan in them, which is a problem for sustainability.

Honestly, I think Dropout is a better example of this. It's been around for years and seems profitable, validating the model.

I really don’t understand youtuber’s obsession with notification bell. Why? I love LTT’s contents and I watch most of them in the first 24-48 hours of their release. but why would I want to be interrupted in the middle of my job or any other time to be notified about a new video that I can watch anytime I want? I get to it when I get to it.

The difference with Rooster Teeth is that they started on their own platform. They existed before YouTube did and had an audience that just continued to go to their site for content. It took a few years after YT came along before they really started posting videos to it.

For channels with notifications (not daily uploaders) it reminds me "Oh I'll watch that later."
I basically never click on the notification, but later I go to their channel or see it on the homepage in the first slot.

Notifications should be for phone calls and maybe text messages. Nothing else is so important that it should interrupt what i am doing. Bad for mental health

ultimately if Watcher had launched as a paid platform they probably could’ve survived as Dropout has, but they didn’t. They launched as YouTube only and taking that away was never going to work successfully long term.

I am totally onboard with having the OPTION to support a creator monetarily (patreon, floatplane, etc.), but moving almost all of your content EXCLUSIVELY to a paywalled site is just...god that's dumb. I know they've walked back the decision now but good grief. I have enough trouble justifying paying for streaming services every month, I certainly can't justify doing it for even several YouTube channels.

The cool thing about dropout is that at least for dimension 20 is that they have the first episode of each season on youtube and even a few full seasons. So they have plenty of free content but also a big chunk of teases to their subscription in addition to all the shorts

They woefully overestimated how relevant they are. I had no idea this channel existed and I use YouTube non-stop, all day long.

Even Corridor Digital has a similar model, but their content is by definition cinematic quality, and their YT channel Corridor Crew is still very active and regularly posts good videos.

And they will never be heard from again.

individual youtubers starting their own service is exactly the same as "yet another media subscription" and i don't know how anyone would try to start from scratch when there are fairer projects that consolidate creators, Nebula and Floatplane, and i'm sorta ambivalent about Floatplane bc it didn't scale as fast and now its the smaller "yet another streaming service"
diversity is good. but fragmentation is not.

I do not bother with the notification of new videos because those things will always come up when I cannot watch it or in the middle. I like to come watch YouTube when I have time. One of the models I have seen many do is post on YouTube, but have another site like Patreon or Locals for additional content. Other more simple models is they will post their video on multiple like have the video up on both YouTube and Rumble.

I really think LMG should scale FP more as another alternative, and should also allow creators the ability to have a free video sometimes to get more exposure to the subscription service…

HERESY! I play Quake and that's what I like!

Been watching y'all since 2016, there have been gaps admittedly. I always come back, whether that's the main channel, the linked channels, or podcast clips. As far as YT goes, I treat it like I would any other streaming service, as long as I keep watching regularly I will keep paying for YT premium. If I want to watch a movie and it isn't offered for free for premium users I have Max, Hulu and Disney+ (using their Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ package). It takes a lot for me to unsub from a channel, and even if I do it takes even more for me to block recommendations from that channel in my feed.
Edit: typo.

i’ve been watching you guys for like 10 years, but if you went exclusive to a platform like flow plane Unless it’s free, I probably wouldn’t watch. I do pay for you YouTube premium because it’s worth it. the creator on YouTube that I would pay for a streaming platform outside of YouTube would be MrBeast. But I don’t think 250 million subscribers would do that. Probably only 10 to 25%.
How am I supposed to discover a channel called watchers organically if they don’t put all their most popular videos on YouTube. It’s absolute stupid move.
