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.

lol, but remember this was in 2003 when internet wasn't really that accessible, and I think I gave up when downloading epiosodes over 256kbps connection ended up proving a pain in the butt. I always see memes from it and it was a hit considering it was unique at that time

I found this video. She's not screaming, but she does sound sound actually r-slurred and the other hosts seem afraid of her lol. To be honest I don't know if that's her I just saw it was a black chick.

i did some mini autism and I think they are talking about this, esp if you match the dates of the voice too loud post vs the youtube upload date
