BACKGROUND
The last time I wrote about failing online media company Roosterteeth, it was because one of their new hires (Ky) had tweeted:
She then caused more anger by playing the racism card again when people said that she was too loud in videos.
THE LATEST DRAMA
So what is Ky up to now? Achievement Hunter views are absolutely atrocious for a 3.7 million viewer channel, bearing in mind there are probably a couple of dozen people working full-time in this team:
One of the few remaining series that old viewers still enjoy is Ya Dead, Ya Dead, in which six Achievement Hunters play Minecraft until only one player remains. In past iterations this would run for about seven episodes at an hour per episode, unedited.
For some reason (maybe in an attempt to get rid of the last remaining old-school fans), Ky appears to be in charge of the new series. She promptly announced that all the episodes would be heavily-edited to fit into a shorter runtime:
How have the fans responded?
Some choice comments from the /r/roosterteeth thread:
I think what I miss about old AH were the conversations. The content was a conduit for conversations to happen like how much fun they were having or their general attitudes towards each other. Old AH was like a group of friends making content now its co workers making content and it isnt the same.
Instead of a bunch of friends fricking around in games, it feels like people who took 1 improv class and tried to put on a show.
.
AH: makes decisions that drives away long-term viewers, despite the feedback of paying subscribers. Also AH: "why would YouTube do this to us?"
.
its frustrating to be a fan from 2013 and just see something i love so so so so much just fall apart
The subreddit has finally completely tipped and is now a place where almost no automod video post gets > 20 upvotes or comments. The only active threads are ones in which people air frustrations. There is no positivity anywhere. The last few RT defenders are slowly getting pushed out.
Anyone wanting more RT drama should look at "I love this Podcast, but 18 minutes of Ads is taling the piss. I dont care how funny they are an ad is an ad and Iβm skipping that shit." in which some /r/roosterteeth users try to defend an hour-long podcast having 18 minutes of ads in the middle.
Trevor and his consequences have been a disaster for the RT fanbase.

All I know about them is they make some LGBT YouTube-anime called RWBY and the new season of like 10-minute episodes keeps getting delayed for like 2 years now because of covid somehow and sometimes I like to check in on that sub and watch them cope and seethe at anyone suggesting this is unreasonable
Itβs never worth posting
Their suffering is just a fetish of mine

You gotta be careful tho cuz like Joe Rogan, Opie and Anthony and Howard Stern, having fan forums just be constant bitching and pining for a glorious lost era could just be an indication that they are actually successful. Not in this case, but still.

RWBY characters and Koreans are alike in that their appearances are both artificial.
