0:00 cuz it's even like you know only fans chicks they still got a post on Instagram yeah you can't just go you know what I'm only going to be on only fans like then what's going to Market you they still post their IG and then they go but for extra titties come over to only they're really good at that over there you three [Music] titties this is a pretty big one that a lot of people were sending messages for us to talk about about because it's a pretty bold move for YouTube creators but uh have you guys heard of the channel Watcher no oh you were posting something about this on the IG stories yeah I just wanted to see what people felt about it because this isn't a channel that I really watch but I'm I'm kind of sort of familiar so it's these guys that used to uh be on BuzzFeed you know a lot of
0:50 people that leave BuzzFeed end up with very successful channels right if you say left BuzzFeed you get you get a pop yeah so these these uh dudes are among those few that left and made their own very successful channels they do a lot of uh like Paranormal stuff okay uh a lot of Life experien stuff they're really good they're actually like very very uh well done high quality videos they had this like ticker that they put on their social media like showing that something big is going to happen at this end of this clock or whatever so everyone got excited turns out what their big announcement was is that they're completely Le not completely but they're leaving YouTube they're getting rid of like their hundreds of videos that are on there right and instead they're moving to a uh a $6.99 per month you pay it to watch their videos and hopefully with your support they could make even better content $66.99 like in
1:41 seven seven bucks seven bucks Yeah so basically doing a patreon or $5.99 I can't remember I think it's like $ 59ers something yeah so they so it's like it's like patreon accept they're making their own streamer where uh they're not they they don't want to be subject to another like body yeah like they're making their own app pretty much they could put on Apple and watch it but the reaction was overwhelmingly negative oh because they Juiced it a certain way or I mean that's kind of what I wanted to know because I think like when you think of something that you really really love like something you're a huge fan of and if they're like hey it's really hard for us to do this on YouTube how about we be a YouTube and then you know by paying this much you know you just don't break the news like that we did that with Maker Studios and it didn't work then either dude exactly so everybody's really mad if you go to like any post that they
2:32 have people are just like you betrayed us can't believe you you're greedy imagine I'm telling everybody we're going to have big party huge party it's so exciting I can't wait to have everybody come to my party and it's like by the way here okay countdown here comes the party party party party and then when you find out you have to pay 30 bucks to come to the party you're like what the ████ he he ████ rope adoped me that's it it's just expectation versus reality there's a thing about it the reality is and I think all our influences we talk about this is you we have this we're very relying upon the platforms end of the day and we're regulated by them and like if Tik Tok goes down it's like we you actually don't have anything we actually don't own the audience that we think we have so the only way to really ultimately own the audience is to have them on a website that you can control right and so the idea is you really the
3:22 concept is can you get 10% of your social media audience on to traffic over traffic over and they should have just done it for free and just said we're putting all our videos over here and there's certain videos that we can't put over here because of a b or c and it's over here and then you can just get through the pay wall and so and if we can get 10% of our millions of followers here we're killing the game cuz we control all of our ads we control uh all of our content and ultimately in the future if us as influencers want to really own an audience that we think we own which we do not own CU at any second someone can flip the switch on us which we all know yeah oh we've been there and then you're done mhm so there're it's the right move by them they just did it wrong yeah correct there's also something strange where some people did um mention that the uh the person that leads this channel I think one of the
4:12 three main guys step limb like people are really extra mad at him because I think he kind of they said that he has mentioned sentiments that sound very like uh like an ether Rich mentality before where it's like but then now this feels like a flip of that mentality where it's like oh now you're going to make us pay when you always used to say that you left BuzzFeed because of the way that they treated you and then you know it feels like that life comes at you fast as they say limb's a good guy I don't think limb's a bad person like he just gets a little Hoy toy sometimes yeah what about like if you think they would have got as the same amount of hate if they did like um patreon or any of the other play uh paid platforms or is it just because they did their own that people were mad well I think it's also the fact that I haven't really seen too many examples for somebody removes the current content that's already on
5:02 YouTube and says now it's over here like didn't give them a second option wasn't like oh I mean they said on YouTube they are going to put their season premieres to help showcase what's happening on that platform and they're they're going to leave all their trailers for like things that you can get over there but the YouTube's purpose moving forward sounds like it's just to drive traffic to their private streamer I see I bet there's going to be a lot more channels that are going to start to do that now oh yeah right I mean dude we're everybody everybody is a flip of a switch away from this model losing it all yeah because you don't understand how hard it is to do a business on this platform this platform is Shifting like all at all times they change the rules on you randomly you don't know when the next hit's coming like look at what's going on with the state of California sometimes with this with just YouTube in general they'll just Shake You Down all of a sudden and be like hey oh yeah are
5:53 people on your channel employees or what's up with that how do you classify this ████ and you're just like cool dude thanks for again sh Shifting The Sands I don't know what's going on yeah goal post can get moved anytime yeah yeah yeah so you definitely want to have a portion of your audience in a ecosphere that is actually yours yeah and it doesn't have to be a lot doesn't have to be the full Millions it just needs to be you know how do you think they could have done this better left their stuff on YouTube and say we're posting new stuff over here yeah I I I do think it's sometimes it's like a we need your help and not a we have an exciting thing to to announce yeah we that I think is like cuz it's even like you know only fans chicks they still got a post on Instagram yeah you can't just go you know what I'm only going to be on only fans like then what's going to Market you they still post their ████ ████
6:43 on IG and then they go but for extra titties come over to only they're really good at that over there you get three titties yeah you get more titties than you usually get you know what it is too is I think I think there's a strange relationship between like money and like being a content creator between you and your audience CU it looks like when you look at majority of the comments that and there's it's very easy to see how people feel it's very much like oh I guess you didn't know that your audience was all broke college students ████ it's like stuff like it's just the mention of money at all that that they're asking for it from them right that is weird cuz like every single musician charges for their album yeah but that's like it's different if you were getting that all of their previous albums for free for so long but even now musicians are not try I mean now they got now they're Spotify
7:34 so you're not buying any at the same time that's technically similar it's like when you say like you know getting their albums for free the whole time it's like if you are a starting out musician you're on the ████ Street back in the day handing out demo CDs and tapes and stuff like that you're like giving your music out because you're trying to get out there the second you get out there and you have some sort of name then of course the next step is to figure out some concept of monetization thing about it yeah they me they just messed up there's this I was talking some other cats about it was this whole you know there's the way of old Hollywood ways like we're going to do something we're going to launch this thing it's going to be bam we just you know people could do that Beyonce could do it great but for the rest of it I think the new trend and the New Concept and how we're living in life is this thing we're call talking about is uh radical transparency radical trans no launches of this and that like this is what we're doing the open conversation radical
8:26 transparency I'm going to tell you guys exactly what the ████ is going on and why we're doing it and you're on the cuz what it is is the the way we talk about I was talking with Brian Lee about this from makers all about there was a time when we when I say us at maker as a community at maker we were trying to create this platform and we were trying to do our own YouTube that maker thing that did not work and was thousands of people we still making money but we're like that it worked for a couple people who sold it to Disney baby it for those people but I mean but the idea now is about getting behind people like you guys to that create a community because it's about Community Builders if you want to get the bag you got to find the people who can create community and then create the community and why you have that Community if you have radical transparency because you're it's a it's a relationship with a community when you're doing like Hollywood stuff like we're going to just do this launch and bow because you going to do that cuz
9:16 you have you're backed by corporations of millions and billions of dollars and you're doing something but if you're doing a community thing then you have to involve the community in the decisions you're making in the relationship that you're having it's a talk it's a dance it's transparency our stool does it pretty well they do I think they do they always talk about their finances and everything like that I think that's really smart to Smart cuz you're building a community and by the way I think that what we're maker ████ up is that a lot of people at maker thought that because they used to do content creation that they know how everything is done and they didn't they know how they knew how to be they didn't they knew how to be resources resources was their whole was their business model not you know creative and I think that's where they ████ but also they brought in non people yeah to run non
10:07 like internet people Studio people into oh yeah and paid them a lot and paid them a lot to do Studio things for like an anti-establishment situation you brought the establishment people into to do something they became the man they sold to the mouse and were swallowed by it right right right right yeah that makes sense we make a great documentary Steve hor book horr book who's writing you ride it or a puppet shelf oh even better [Music]
