Watcher fans sure are entitled and a little insane, ngl. "No one is going to sign up for your service! We're all poor! You've made the worst decision, and you'll be back in no time!" Saying this directly to the creators really reminds you of how low the respect for people you don't personally know has gone. I miss the forth wall between creator and audience.

I get and fully understand not having the money to support them, but... Watcher does have fans with money. A lot of them actually. They have merch sales. Their live tour sells out most venues. They have thousands of supporters on Patreon, where the cheapest tier is $5. They're able to gauge the rough finances of their staunchest supporters; that's how they landed on the subscription price. Yes, this move will reduce their viewership in sheer numbers, but to say all of their fans are broke and none will follow/support is factually incorrect.

It may not be a decision everyone agrees with, but severing the limitations of advertisers and youtube in favor of artistic freedom is a good thing. Yes, even if it comes with a loss of revenue. They understand that risk.

Also, I'm begging people to stop treating this like "another Netflix" or something and instead look at it as, "I am supporting a creator I like, similar to Patreon." They literally said in the video that they don't care if you share accounts. Get five friends, and you'll pay $1/mo.

I hate feeling compelled to rant in favor of their decision because I have my own reservations about whether it's the best move. However, I know it's not a choice they made lightly, and I like to think they understand that they'll need to branch out like crazy to entice subscribers.

#Fair-weather fans #I speak as someone currently undecided if I'll sign up for their service or not #I have my own budget to consider #But the waves of people poor-mouthing AT Watcher directly is ridiculous and embarrassing #“They're underestimating how many of us are poor”#Okay but that's not how business works #They just need enough people who aren't poor #and they may well have those numbers #Do you think they would have made such a drastic decision if they didn't???#If they want to focus on fans who support them even if their hard work isn't free that's their choice #People are trying to be so anti-capitalism on this they've actually circled back around to saying #“Just take ad revenue from these companies so they can profit off your content and I don't have to pay out of MY pocket.”#That's... that's not the anti-capitalism stance you think it is #Maybe (and this is crazy) asking for a few dollars directly instead of through the vehicle of youtube‚ google‚ and all its advertisers is #... not spitting on the fans?#Please stop trying to guilt small content creators to their face while simping for large corporations #Watcher

"Oh so they're capitalists now" motherfucker it's all capitalism. Youtube having 50 ads a video with an in-video sponsor read that takes a quarter of the video is capitalism. Be real

#you're not a dirty capitalist because you have to live under capitalism #you're not a dirty capitalist for trying to get sustrainabke revenue for your independent company #until there's fucking screen limits and bans on password sharing it's not a malicious move to make their own service #they aren't deleting everything. they're still gonna give access to first episodes of new shit #it's the dropout model #i get that it's a big change and i agree that the issues for international viewers will have to be dealt with because that's a PROBLEM #the issue isn't them moving to this model over youtube #there will be new shows #shit will develope #watcher #watcher entertainment

from @/JoshuaPHilll, via More Perfect Union

#hvaña #labor #uaw strike #wishing all striking workers across sectors a successful strike and more importantly a fair contract!!!!!!#remember to be on the lookout for anti union proaganda such as 1) unions being at fault for negotiations falling through #2) pitting one group of workers against another #3) workers being greedy and unreasonable #and many more. remember that the power to call off the strike ALWAYS lies with the company if only they meet the workers demands.#not even gross revenue but profits is 20 BILLION usd they can afford to pay their workers a fucking living wage and pension.#ANYWAYS!!!!.

sometimes I get NFTbros trying to get me to sell my work as crypto bullshit and NOTHING shuts them up faster than me saying

‘oh actually literally all my AR art is published under public domain! no single person can own it because technically it’s owned by everyone :))’

they hate not being able to manufacture artificial scarcity

#auropost #they NEVER respond to that lmao #they cannot comprehend the concept of how figmin works #i’ve talked at length with javier and his goal for it is so noble #he tells me he wants it to be a gift to the world and that it’s never been about making money #and yes the app costs 20 bucks because it needs to generate SOME kind of revenue so we can make a living #but the goal is you spend 20 bucks once and you get every virtual object for free forever #and then we as a company personally pay various artists through our residency program #it’s been so beautiful to see #the artist residents have all been so passionate and skilled #because we literally just tell them ‘do whatever you want’#that’s like unheard of in a tech company #anyways this is another of the reasons i’m so passionate about figmin #there’s literally nothing else like it in the world…#but we WANT more things like it

yknow what i'll put this in the main tags one of my main worries with this (other than the safety of the cg illustrator that was fired and employees at project moon obviously) is that it feels like everytime theres a controversy, project moon just lie down and take it. theyre like doormats. appeasing them isnt going to make them stop, if anything it makes them more likely to do something like this again because they know its going to work and because it HAS before (im looking at ruina)

#hiiii this is me from tomorrow. they were legally allowed to fire the artist yes but i still dont agree w the decision #also adding this bc this is still getting traction one thing ive seen no one talk abt (bc its not important compared to everything else)#is that pmoon originally made limbus a gacha to fund their other projects. im not saying this as like a guilt trip or something 2 consider #btw. im saying it bc they have most definitely lost a chunk of their fanbase bc of this decision and therefore revenue #project moon #limbus company #library of ruina #lobotomy corporation #projmoon #i have sympathy for them ofc bc its a horrifying situation but im still disappointed abt how its dealt with #u are running a gacha game now its genuinely REALLY concerning if u resolve that type of shit like this #text

It's amazing how quickly you can make someone turn on your company by making a stupid and insulting move

Force me to go through the front door and scan my card when I have backdoor business that never needed a card before (what? ...I was going to somehow... sneak in and... purchase things with a borrowed card? ...which I totally can't do from the front door after scanning it?)

Or like... twitterify your layout right after your users give you a bunch of money just cause they like you, and then refuse to walk it back

...or all the other things companies do that just kinda piss people off and then they refuse to acknowledge maybe it sucks and is stupid cause "hey, the customers didn't leave"... yeah... yet

#legit; as small as it is it gives me a hint at the direction things will head and that costco will get more and more anti consumer #and I'm in minutes going from an 'I love costco; it's how I afford to eat; go get a cheap pizza'#to 'you know costco is kinda frustrating and annoying and I don't trust their ceo... I'm not sure if it's worth your time and money'#like look back and; tumblr search willing; you'll find posts of me singing costco's praises; literal free advertising #cause while it's not right for everyone; man is it so much cheaper than places like walmart #but... I legit don't know if I can recommend it anymore #for one thing; when I signed up I just spotted the members desk; walked in the backdoor up to the desk; and gave them money #now... what? you gotta ask permission? I feel like there's a chilling effect on wanting to join... at least for my socially anxious ass #and again; I just whiff this as like when games companies add DRM that breaks the game... for people who actually pay for it #they're making me suffer a pain in the ass for no reason cause someone might not be giving them money #and now that person never will give them money... and frankly... if they don't pay the membership but spend $500 how much did you lose?#but like I said; I feel it in the air; that costco will start doing more and more anti consumer stuff #...do I think it's a good idea to join up when they're gonna slowly start turning this corner?#I mentioned that quote by the founder about killing them if they raise the price of the hotdog #but... the fact the founder felt the need to say that to begin with told me something #kinda gotten the impression that the ceo is greedy as hell and wants to drain the consumer (so... a normal ceo)#and this just smacks of netflix/disney #oh... did you hear about disney killing someone with a food allergy despite being told about it multiple times like when the dish arrived?#and now disney is trying to forced arbitrate cause they had a disney+ trial in 2019 #you hear about that one? cause that's a real news story; I'll find you an article if you don't believe it #anyway; this smacks of cracking down on password sharing to make up for hypothetical lost revenue #and let me tell you... if I could switch to pirating my groceries I would; I would download eggs #so this doesn't change costco fundamentally; but it does make it feel more hostile and like it doesn't trust me #it makes things feel more adversarial instead of like a partnership where they get me good prices on good things and I give money #and I just wouldn't be surprised if they start doing more things I don't like #things that make things worse... things like raising prices to increase their profit #...makes me want to... work on figuring out how to make everything myself since no company is trustworthy #they'll all turn on you in the end; the moment the wrong person takes charge they'll start to metastasis #towards the cancer of infinite profits #not saying don't go to costco... I'm saying don't get attached if you do; I think they're ready to do what every company does these days

Interesting... I switched browsers, away from a chromium-based one (Opera GX) to Firefox and suddenly tumblr is less buggy, too.

A welcome outcome...

Let's hope it stays that way. It's certainly less annoying to navigate the site now.

#🍁 dust rambles #i switched for reasons #1. opera is kinda shady as a company #2. google and therefore chromium wants to block access to adblockers entirely sometime next year #and feel free to do that google #but without me #I value my time and browsing safety over your revenue #they've also been getting cocky with their youtube monetization and advertisements lately #they want people to pay for premium #only thing it does for me is that I'm even mire persistent in trying to find more loopholes to get around their predatory ads

I feel like the people that call others "paid shills" for not ardently disliking the new Disney movie should take a chill pill.

#also it's just such a consummerist way of looking at criticism of the company #disney isn't going to stop being a shitty corporation #just because their films aren't perfect 10/10s and [INSERT FAVORITE RIVAL CORPORATION] beat them at the box office once #stop waiting for the unicorn moment where disney's revenues go down enough that they have a change of heart. it's not gonna happen

"if tumblr really cared abt its users" when did any app care about its users like actually

#like there is caring abt the numbers and revenue and if something is driving New Users away then they change it #but genuine care? PFFFT... its never abt a pleasant user experience it was always abt the numbers. for every app out there #piksla.txt #last rb was the last drop bc i do agree w the complaints but at the same time its hilarious to be outraged abt smth normal for a company #which is. not caring abt the irl user experience

honestly more painful than the iceado cancelation itself was finding out shortly thereafter that it really was just, at its core, down to homophobia causing disputes between mappa/distribution and the creatives. there should not have had to be compromise over victor's experiences, especially in a movie that was at least in part a coming of age story. part of me is glad the team didn't back down and just let it be released with such a core element wiped, but it's so upsetting that it was even a point of contention to begin with. I love you victor nikiforov I'm sorry your family are lost media

#and fuck all the stupid shonen they're kicking up while pretending iceado was cancelled because of 'lack of revenue'#when yoi literally saved your stupid company from bankruptcy... lawl

Man I get wanting ownership of your content and separation from the trash fire that is YouTube and needing a way to fund that but personally I feel like marketing yourself as a streaming service and hiding everything behind a paywall when everything else is increasingly becoming a monthly payment of 5.99 is maybe like... Not good

#like theres better ways to do that which will ultimately honour your audience much more #and actually everything doesnt need to be a celebration sometimes you can go yeah sorry we have to have more funding theres no other way #heres ways you can help us out #or even making it so that the main series are free with ad revenue and you can individually purchase the rest of the content #as series #that would work! and be more affordable!#i just fucking hate streaming services #and like be serious guys if people are having to prioritise between something like netflix hulu and watcher #do you seriously think they'll choose the one with the least amount of variety for their money #like personally i dont pay for any i priate that shit but i dont actually want to do that to them #because theyre not a random faceless company #but i dont watch their stuff enough to pay for it and i know a lot of other people dont either #boo bad decision #good initial idea i understand that i understand wanting to be free of the evil that is youtube #but fucking boo #al is talking

this article reminds me that i never reviewed the reddit ios app, despite having it on my phone for years before switching to apollo and then deleting my accounts in light of reddit’s recent bad faith behavior. i think i’ll go do that.

#reddit app #196 #reddit api #reddit lost significant advertising revenue during the height of the protest #reddit’s shambling reanimated corpse #reddit’s shambling corpse #companies behaving badly #tech companies #reddit mods #redditgate continues

I thoroughly believe that the main 2 issues plaguing the TV art/entertainment industry today are representation anxiety and cancellation anxiety.

Representation anxiety is the reason why the quality of the storytelling is suffering.

Cancellation anxiety is the reason why the quality of the production is suffering.

ANXIETY is what is ruining TV show storytelling and producing in general. If people were less anxious about the way the story in a show should or has to go, there would be more focus on what actually matters.

There are so many storytelling and production issues in a show because people are not focussing on the overall experience when creating/watching a TV show. Showrunners/creators are not focussing on it because they’re too anxious about providing the “correct” or “best” or “most palatable” representation because if they don’t provide it, their show will just get cancelled.

Honestly imagine the extreme anxiety a showrunner/creator would feel in this day and age of showmaking.

It is a never-ending loop for them of “I must provide the representation that appeases both the audience and the network alike” and then “if I don’t do this as soon as possible, my show will be cancelled and everybody that depends on me will lose their jobs”.

Show disappoints the network, gets cancelled - which in turn disappoints the audience, stops them from watching anything else like it in case it happens to them again - which then makes the network misjudge it as “this kind of content must not be engaging enough for consumers to invest themselves in” but they throw it out for consumption anyway because quantity over quality even though they’re ultimately going to axe it regardless because “it doesn’t sell.”

And then the whole thing happens all over again. 😩

Sounds to me like they should just have better communication with the showrunners/creators and more faith and trust in what they’re able to deliver.

And maybe once in a while CONSULT THE AUDIENCE themselves. Make them apart of the conversation more than with just the standard lazy feedback questionnaires. I’m pretty fucking sure were a BIG WIG network executive to actually take the time out of their oh so busy work week to talk to us about what it is we want and what we don’t - things would be better for all sides. For the networks, the showrunners/creators+team, and for the customers/consumers.

At the end of the day the people I really feel sorry for regarding this is not us. It’s the showrunners/creators.

I feel so sorry for the producers, writers and directors because I know they’re all running rings around themselves trying to please every fucking body and every complaint from either side goes right to them.

They’re the mimimim wage staff at your favourite restaurant where customers and employers alike yell at them over something they’re personally pissed about but they can’t do anything about it other than offer their sympathies and provide other alternatives.

You think we have it rough as the viewers.

The network thinks they have it rough.

No.

Who has it rough are the showrunners/creators.
