Watcher's Failed Streaming Service Launch

[bedes]

Posting another old share from my Sunday YouTube Spotlights!

This video is about news on the older side (relatively)! I feel like it did a great job summarizing why, exactly, Watcher's proposed streaming service received such a violently negative reaction in comparison to other streaming services started by YouTubers. (I feel like most people are sick to death of streaming services in general by now, though, lol)

Thanks for the video!! :D Sucks b/c I really do enjoy The Watcher and their videos, but that DEFINITELY wasn't a good move on their part. Stating that they were full on leaving YouTube and transitioning everything to their streaming service when SO MANY streaming services already have us in a strong arm chokehold just wasn't the HELL YEAH they thought it was 😬 Even if it was purely a financial move (which lbvs, it almost ALWAYS is), there's a way they could've gone about it w/o having to gut punch a good chunk of their audience. Ultimately glad they reversed the decision in some way, but I don't blame folks for being wary of them due to that.
