The Japanese dropped it after season 4 (or 5 I don't remember). Weebs have no standards.

Even most weebs dunk on it, outside of the 13-17 year old girls that are they type to proudly call themselves 'stans' it's mostly forgotten. But kids have more freetime than adults so likely gets more veiws and parents have deeper pockets than twenty-somethings have to budget so it's no surprise it's the better performing property.
It'll be interesting if they manage to shift RT with its numbers going down during a pandemic when all other online media was shooting up. Of course they won't release their website statistics but I doubt they get half the traffic or veiws than from youtube. Plus what can even be done with it? It's a blackhole of money with seemingly little gain to be made with their YT channels atrophying, perhaps try to float themselves with a boatload of cheap and easy podcasts but who the fuck even in the RTsphere wants to here Jack mouthbreath about some fucking rollercoaster?

THE MEGACORPORATION THAT OWNS US HAS NO FAITH IN US SO PLEASE BUY OUR JUNK!
Being butthurt is Jacks defining personality trait, so this isn't a surprise.
"Those mean people who made jokes at my expense are gone now."
He's not wrong, it's definitely unrecognizable it used to be entertaining.
He's not wrong. RT provides an excellent example of what not to do.

They aren't? I thought Texas was fully open. Besides Disney World has been open for months, Disney Land opens April 30. And other famous theme parks around the country have been open during the pandemic. Even Great Adventure in New Jersey was open last summer and fall and only closed at the end of the season like always due to the North East winter. They reopened for 2021 at the end of March.

You know you have a point here. When Jack said "I really want to go to theme parks again" (or something to that effect) I mistakenly interpreted it to mean that they (or at least the ones he is interested in) were closed. He must feel like he can't go to them because of covid.

Don't blame The Japanese for RWBY. They cancelled their dub after 3 seasons I'm pretty sure. Its what remains of the RT fanbase that doesn't have standards.
RWBY fandom also desperately forces out anybody with even milquetoast criticism of the show as well, so all you have left is nuthuggers who think RWBY is comparable to Breaking Bad.

Oh my god, I remember Chloe from when I was a huge stan and had my twitter basically dedicated to RT. She was always kissing everyone's ass and was the "super quirky girl!" because she's obsessed with General Grievous. I had thought that after the Ryan stuff went down she wasn't a fan anymore, but I guess I was wrong.

That's a good example of Jack being butthurt biting him in the ass, when that was brought up the first time if he had laughed it off it would have been brought up a time or two then forgotten but no he got butthurt and everybody saw that he could be fucked with by bringing it up.

God, I'm clearly not following AH as closely as I should be, this is the first time I'm hearing about this.
Maybe because it's Jack and he's boring as shit.
Jack being boring predates AH, he was on podcasts when he was 26. Geoff and Gus would constantly berate him for being enthusiastic about stuff nobody else cared about. Then Jack got fired/quit for losing an Xbox Developer's kit with iirc Halo 3 Alpha. In the end he went to LA and did his porn shit, came back to Rooster Teeth and started AH with Geoff and Gavin where they kept making fun of him for being uninteresting and boring.
In Jack's own words the highlight of his life was being 22 and working at Disney World for minimum wage and he's done nothing significant since.

Jack getting shit on my Geoff and Gus was the highlight of early days Drunk Tank. One of the greatest DT moments came from shitting on Jack, second only to Burnie screaming at Geoff about inventing a time machine, going back in time and killing Alexander Graham Bell because he was fucking around with the phone instead of hanging it up and taking out the batteries.
In the Drunk Tank days, the founders were in their early 30's and had professional careers before starting the company.
Now they're hiring 20 somethings who have only been fans of Rooster Teeth that have no other life experience outside of watching RT content most of their lives.
Miyazaki talked about this theory 30 years ago where the new people coming into the scene start as fans and have no other life experience which dilutes the product because instead of basing shows off their own experiences, they're trying to mimic what they thought was good when they were younger with severely diminishing returns.
Geoff used to be a journalist in the army. Joel was an actor. Matt was already a producer in successful movies, Burnie was the manager of a call center for a decade.
Then with the second generation, Michael had a career as an electrician, Gavin created slow-mo guys which is way more successful than RT. Ray is Ray, he was good at video games. Even Barbara had a college degree and started the prototype RTX in Toronto. The new hires are fresh out of high school and have no life experience outside of being involved with Rooster Teeth. It shows, Gavin and Geoff admitted that every story from their past has already been told but that's the combination of having a life outside of RT and being on camera for over 10 years.

Here's the thing; RWBY is one of the very few IPs they really have, and one of the few that enjoyed any real success. Warner itself has cared little about the property outside of a few comics (like the currently running RWBY DC comic). But its the only property that Rooster Teeth can really fall back on that isn't dependent on onscreen personalities or someone else's IP (like Red vs. Blue). For there to be a chance in hell of an actual sale happening, RWBY would have to be part of the package, as the actual studio doesn't have much going for it.
