no no we're not trying to shut anyone down or own the "genre" of videos where you see people react to stuff

It's exasperating. Watching such vibrant content creators, who are not at all profiting off of a base concept appropriated and propagated in the broadest form possible with no work of their own involved, make such missteps. I hope in time they can realize their mistake, which is surely an act of chance.

no such thing as bad publicity. they can get jobs as social media consultants after this based on "knowing what not to do". sharing poo poo like this only helps them

I'm pretty sure their jobs after this will be continuing to make videos. Even with the internet hate machine running at full tilt they've only lost 0.5% of their subscribers. I don't think they're going to be looking for real jobs any time soon.

Mostly pseudo-random.
Is it just me but isn't their formula for even their videos poo poo . "Oh hey look at these people reacting exactly how you expect them to act as the average person falls into a broad stereotype but oh hey this one person breaks the mold. This there isn't much difference between them and you. Please rate me and suscribe."

They probably began to understand how economically non-viable this gimmick is, and instead of branching out to make some stupid boyband that all the other idiots are doing, they wanted to sell their "perfect" formula.

But :shrug: if I understand any of this stupid poo poo

im amazed their fanbase didnt boycott them for under paying or not paying all the kids and grandmas, surprised to see they went the sony route of copyrighting things they did not invent instead

i think showing their face was a mistake for an apology video, should've used one of the child actors or even a likeable adult

Indeed, I'm concentrating on their wikipedia page right now, and yet no solution reveals itself. Perhaps stronger concentration will offer the final solution to this query.

Don't cross the internet!!



The average YouTube viewer wouldn't give a poo poo if these guys went around literally mugging old grannies and disabled children. In fact they could probably make a fortune filming Reaction Videos (TM) of various people watching them do it.

edit: OK that chart is a week old, but still, they haven't exactly lost a meaningful chunk of their subscribers. So far this has set them back about 2 weeks in terms of total subs.

No. This is a boring faux-righteous dog-pile and will be done and out-fadded in a few days.

Meanwhile, Finebros gonna franchise their poo poo regardless, have more subs and bank bigger than ever. This is basically the youtube rehash of a 'Boycott CoD Steamgroup plays CoD anyway' laugh.
