I find the amount of drama that come come from a video review site fascinating and ridiculous in equal measure. I don't follow any of this stuff, but I think the funniest part is when they go "(drama drama drama) Uhh yeah I'm still gonna like make videos where I like talk about stuff I'm just not gonna be linked on this website" Right? The community, for both the guys and gals making the videos and its often rabid fanbase, baffles me. I feel like that episode of southpark about Pewdiepew recently. I really do NOT understand any of it and I feel either everyone else is insane or I'm just WAY out of touch and I'm not sure which. I like AVGN and NC. I think both of those shows are pretty neat-o. I keep up with the satellite review-blogs that our members here keep ala some stuff on the main site like Clash of the Webcomics, monstercrap, FSin's project that has the new page, stuff like that. They're fun to read/watch as I wind down at night while listening to a podcast. But I'm not so INTO any of these like what I see in these communities. I suppose I'm a bit of a hypocrite though, because of course I signed up for this forum here when it was still affiliated with Wrestlecrap, a funny/bad wrestling review site in a sense. So I dunno really. I just find all of this drama weird.

I guess Mike was telling reviewers "I'll owe you one."
Lupa didn't even get to main event Walker-mania.

When does Mr. Michaud start talking about those damned millennial video producers not grasping the brass rings?

'Fed hit the nail on the head (also thanks for the plug, BTW).
I can understand more problems arising given how Channel Awesome is more of a business now, whereas the stuff we're doing (as of writing) is just for the hell of it. But in my case half of my stuff is just me acting a fool, LOL. Why take it so seriously?

Any business, whether it's an actuary firm or a line of clown-based theme parks, is going to have a serious side. This is a business for these people, and when livelihoods are at stake, there's going to be emotion there.
From what I've read, it just sounds like management is shitty and wants to use people for money. And given the $90,000 they raised for a show that's quickly becoming the Duke Nukem Forever of internet shows, I'm inclined to take the various party's criticisms (even LordKat's) over any other explanation. Things just seem to be run by lying hypocrits.

thewadesmellbringer asked: What do you think of folks like Lupa and Phelous leaving Channel Awesome and the things they said about the site?
Linkara: This is the ONLY statement I will be making on the subject, and nobody better expect me to start any drama or the like for people who seem to take some sort of sick pleasure examining and scrutinizing the lives and professions of people who are just trying to entertain. I have been treated well by the higher-ups of the company. It is terrible that my friends and colleagues have not been so well-treated and I hate that any of this has happened. We remain friends and colleagues and I know that whatever they do now, be it video-making or otherwise, they will be successful and prosperous, because I have been privileged to work alongside such talented, fantastic individuals. And I shall continue to do so as long as they are willing. Lupa in particular is still going to be in the Atop the Fourth Wall movie and there will be much celebration of Christmarch for all. Channel Awesome is not dead, nor is this some sign of everything collapsing around us. Just as I was proud to be on the site alongside those who have left, I am proud to be with the producers there now. There are a lot more people who you should still be checking out, and we are already discussing with one another ideas to help promote each other and how to make a greater experience for you all. Are there problems with the leadership? Oh, most certainly. There always will be, whether it’s something minor like a mistake made or something big like the events that have led to some people leaving the site. But I remain optimistic for the future and for making things better. I don’t think this is the end, for Channel Awesome or for any of us. But if such an end is to come, it shall not be because we are complacent or have given up. We will fight to the bitter end to bring greatness and smiles to you all, we. And if an end comes, do not shed tears, because an ending is just the beginning of the next story.
Someone else made a good point too
the genre is ridiculously over saturated now.

Okay, I can believe Phelous and Lupa. What JO just said there was absolute horsecrap. She's the one who has harassed her own fans (and even got her boyfriend and some different fans of hers to assist her). I don't believe any of what she says.

More hypocrisy from me but even after my admitted bafflement over the drama, all of this shit is oddly interesting to read.
It's like findng a teenagers yearbook and reading all the nasty comments from below certain photos. I don't know who anyone is other than Doug/NC. I apparently didn't understand that the whole site had the power structure it did. I don't know these stories being referenced or the drama.
But there is a lot of bitter people involved and at the end of the day where the most that can come from it is a big ol he said she said slap fight with two camps yelling NUH UH at each other.

This is pretty much where I'm at. Somewhere I read it inferred that something happened with Blip that made this whole deal less lucrative, can someone sketch a broad outline of how this whole thing came together and fell apart? 5000 words or more?

Blip was purchased by Maker, money used to be based on views and now it's based on ads but the amount that people receive per ad is reduced so you either have to put out more stuff or you have to have more ads.

I love how professional and up front Phelous and Lupa were about what's been going on and JesuOtaku pulls a JesuOtaku.
