>>211462076if you go back to their earliest videos they're borderline unwatchable, then they hired him and suddenly they're the best edited reaction channel on youtube, he sets up the entire structure of how their videos work, their channel blows up and rapidly overtakes all the other reaction channels to become the most popular, other channels start copying how they do things, all the while they talk about him like he's a close friend, we wouldn't be here without him, etc, get to meet tom cruise because their videos are getting mainstream attention, then he gets sick and they dump him unceremoniously and replace him with cheap editors, the quality of their videos goes to shit but they're popular enough that it doesn't matter anymore, and now they live off what he built for them and he could have killed himself for all they care
honesty standard capitalism stuff, but they still pretend like they're a wholesome oh-my-gosh family channel so it rubs me the wrong way
yes i know way too much about this, i used to sub to their patreon for a long time and wondered why their videos started getting so shitty and did my research
