i am genuinely so impressed with the quality of the apology and how watcher handled this situation. i’m really glad that they listened to their fans on this, and i genuinely think it couldn’t have been handled better. <3
some of y’all on the other hand need to really chill tf out with the threats and attacks
Today’s card is: A 3x5 index card
Reminder on today...
Watcher was created for artists to create the art They Want
Youtube ads don't allow that
Sponsor's do not allow that
Censorship is a bitch
But to make money and to start the business, they need to sign their souls away to sponsors
Sponsored products like: racons ear buds and Betterhelp, the herpes of sponsored scams
To create a foundation for a business where they can create Their Art
But selling your soul gets a little tiring
Especially when Youtube takes about 30% of profits
You didn't go into this to create Free Art anyway. You wanted to live off of your art. You were being paid to make free content from the get go at buzzfeed
But now, after dealing with sponsors and creating a foundation of a company, no longer wanting to sacrifice artistic choices just to not get demonetized seems plausible, reasonable
They can't rely on the sponsors for an income in the future, so what if they started selling, idk, the video's and series they work religiously on?
So what if the content wasn't free?
What if their labor gets accurately compensated to continue making high quality art which is what they want to make
Key wording
what THEY want to make -
High qualiber art
what the AUDIENCE wants to make -
Entertainment
You see the problem?
They want to do more than entertain. And they want to try and figure how to. Ive never run a business, but this is one that wants to do good, so I'm rooting that it can figure out a path to a long future

So sorry but for personal reasons I will be taking time off to play demon souls remade and writing multiple fanfic theories and backstories about the maiden in black and the nexus. Be back never probably.
Autistic people should get time off of work when they develop a new special interest. Like maternity leave.
