    6 bucks is cheap for a subscription, but it’s VERY EXPENSIVE for content from a single channel 💀
  • @KillianSmoke
    '$6.99 is affordable' is giving highschool teacher energy of 'it's only 1 hour of homework' when you have 4-5 other teachers saying the same thing
  • @ms_cartographer
    Sometimes, that $6.00 is the difference between getting to eat that day, and just not eating. $6.00 is a lot for many of us.
  • @GippyHappy
    I feel like youtubers are always trying to convince you that they're struggling and need more money but then Charlie is just like "nah we make tons of money lol"
  • i saw one of the comments on that video was "the old shane would want us to pirate it" which is so valid and true
  • @miyouu
    craziest thing is nobody ever asked them to invest in some high-end studios, we only want 2 chairs in a room, shane and ryan, talking ab paranormal stuff...

    Disney Plus with MEGA franchises such as MCU and StarWars are only charging $8.99USD with promotions of the first 3 months free…let that sink in…

    As someone who used to watch Buzzfeed Unsolved religiously, this is a HUGE disappointment
  • @nefariou5
    This comment on their video really paints the picture: "Netflix is $6.99 a month, Disney+, $7.99. Prime Video, $8.99. And you're asking $5.99 a month!... most people have to choose between the three. Do you really think you're in the same league as the big streaming giants?"
  • I'll say it - I preferred the Unsolved format they had when they worked at Buzzfeed. It was low-budget and what drew people in was the chemistry between Ryan and Shane acting like a Mulder and Scully 2.0 for true crime / paranormal investigations and cases.
  • “Anyone and everyone can afford it” is a crazy statement at a time like now where basically if not literally the entirety of the country is struggling to survive 💀
  • @TheLalalalani
    Also important point, one of them just had a ~250k wedding
  • @zinc2982
    Looking forward to the "What happened to Watcher Entertainment?" video essays like a year from now
  • The fact they made a show where Shane and Ryan sit around a campfire, get drunk and read ghost stories to each other, which made near 2 million views, and they STILL think they need high end productions on everything they make is insane. People showed up for the personalities, not for the flashy sets and locations. There's no way they didn't realize this, that's absolutely insane.
  • @weedcookies4416
    Saw someone say "Left buzzfeed to become buzzfeed" and honestly, real.
  • Not only was the subscription thing a shock, but in the previous video we were told we could share a password. So a lot of us did that, Then suddenly the website updated and told us that we could only stream on three devices at once. It felt like an additional punch to the gut.
  • @sam-ib6lk
    Shane and Ryan are such personality based creators that they do not need a flashy 25 person crew to make engaging content, if they sat in an empty room with a webcam and talked they'd still get hella views
  • @kysell
    “watcher?? i can barely afford her!” that comment killed me
  • @arilizart9375
    What hurts is that we never showed up for the “big production”. We just wanted more ryan and shane, and then they decided we weren’t giving them enough anymore
  • @Conformist138
    I've heard this reaction from a ton of people: "I liked their content with Buzzfeed. It's really high quality work. I didn't know they had moved to their own channel." This tells me they never really maximized their YouTube audience so people even knew about them. And that's staying on the same platform. I'm not sure how they expected to create a whole new platform while keeping their audience.
