Probably wouldn't have worked. I remember hearing they tried to get Netflix to finance Day 5 season three and that got shut down hard. Which is a shame, I wish we could have seen how it ended, but considering how season 2 went, season three probably would have been dumber.
Ray gets fired day one for a racially insensitive username.
Gotta be a blow when Netflix, who has financed some of the worst fucking garbage I've ever seen wont even say yes.
More podcasts
No no, he gets fired for being the incorrect type of Brownman.
This is probably exactly what he wants. RT's success was founded on a small niche community of Internet spergs who waited a half an hour and three interrupted connections via phone calls to download the newest RVB. If he can catch lightning in a bottle again, nothin' but respect. Even now, he wasn't there for the inshittening and still created one of the most influential media company of my time.
That’s bizarre, I’ve never seen a channel like this move to Patreon as their main platform.
I tried watching their last video and I genuinely don't know who this is catered towards. I thought it was kids but they are cursing. Is this video actually made for retards? Like this is genuinely bizarre content.
somehow doubt he's gonna catch lightning in a bottle with a paywalled podcast, how is he gonna make it big with that? RVB for the time was a very well written web series and halo was going through it's golden age so it only hyped the series more, what is bringing people in for the podcast? there's a million other podcasts, the only ones willing to invest are old fans and only a small part of them and that number is only gonna shrink not grow. I doubt Bernie is gonna be successful.
Who is to say that the goal is to make it big? It wasn't there goal to make it big when they did RVB. Have people forgotten that sometimes people do things just because they enjoy it? Not to mention without the benefit of a large budget to pay for moderation teams, adding a paywall helps curate the audience and makes it easier to manage. I doubt they have the staffing that they did when their community was large.
Because it worked. Sponsorship was their bread and butter twenty years ago and it was a major part of their income for most of the life of the business. The reason they crashed and burned is because they didn't have anything worth watching for sponsors and kept bringing in DEI hires who contributed nothing to the quality of the product and instead brought everything down, while the original people who people actually liked were forced to shill the newbies and defend them for being shit.
Shame, really. I think Burnies a pretty smart fella who can recognize talent so I was hoping he might be building some new shit up.
I don't follow Ray but I was under the impression that he'd long moved on from AH. It's kind of sad if he's gone back to member berries regarding AH/RT.
He has long since moved on from them but in recent years, especially since a lot of the people he collabs with now were fans of him during AH, he's seemingly warmed back up to it at least. With the company being dead and him coming out on top, I think he has no regrets about leaving or being a part of it anymore too.
I agree but I think the huge chunk of the real reason is skipped over. Before the DEI, their projects were mostly sponsored but also funded through other avenues like ads and corporate sponsors. Before the DEI happened they were attempting to find alternatives to sponsor only funding.
You just want to say the n word when you say "DEI Hire". People like Mica are way more talented than you high school dropout subhuman losers
Mica is a retarded nepo NIGGER who skated by on her daddy's name and the color of her skin. Fuck off retard
