What are your honest opinions on this company?
That's a big cock
They've fallen far from grace since around 2013.
>>338547114
FOR
Capitalism destroyed them.
They were great as a fun little group of guys making video games jokes in engine.
They they realized they could be a major entertainment outlet and went to shit.
They make cringey garbage and are afraid of PC gaming
Met a bunch of them against my will. Abnoxious bronies.
Everybody that got hired after the original team of half a dozen or so is shit. Whole company got too self aware and big for their britches and went to shit.
>>338547035
Hardcore sold out with and went full retard by hiring Screwattack and Kinda Funny.
Jack is the worst thing on the planet, so is Miles, Kerry, Barb and Smeg Turney
I liked RvB until around 2012-ish. I dont watch anything else of theirs but as a side note, that not anime show they made RWBY or whatever it's called has the most autistic fans.
>>338547502
>>338547035
Also Matt Brag is the most autistic unfunniest fuck
We never got to see them battle it out.and now we never will
Which team would win?
I stopped watching around 2011/12 after Season 5 of RvB. They had just hired some guy named Jack.
I have no idea who all these random ass people are that are always getting discussed on /v/. Kerry? Miles? Barbara? Who the fuck are these people?
>>338547035
they somehow thought Monty Oum had talent
Roosters don't have teeth.
>>338547665
RWBY would win because it's essentially a 4 v 3.
I listen to their podcast when I go running.
Its funny when the Carl plinkton guy comes up with dumb shit and the rest of them gang up on him.
Otherwise they talk about their own company a ton which is just boring to me.
A bunch of unprofessional manchildren who have no idea how to actually run a business.
>>338547263
YOU
>>338547783
>RWBY would win because it's essentially a 4 v 3
More like a 4 v 2. Li is pretty worthless.
>>338547035
I just watch Funhaus, they were fun in the old IG days. FH feels more tame now but sometimes they get back to the old ways. The whole Vin Diesel skit in that GTA video was GOAT.
Don't give two fucks about the rest of RT.
>>338547971
>>338547783
>>338547665
>Actually watching RWBY
It's time for suicide
>>338547035
They have an odd habit of making productions with a very amateur feel to them in spite of very clearly being professionals at this point.
The only good things were to come out of them were RVB and then it overstayed it welcome and AH, but it turned to shit once Ryan left.
Joel's cool though.
The first 2 seasons of RWBY are actually good, animation aside.
The third season is raw autism extract
>>338547035
The Know is one of the most disgustingly blatantly clickbait based news source I've ever seen and the podcast where they talked shit about negative reviews of Fallout 4 while wearing their preorder bonus pipboys infuriated me beyond belief.
>>338547983
They too have been selling out so much lately though, saying that all the care about is views and they dont want to do actual fun series because they dont get enough views.
They just act retarded and yell lately to get those 12 year old views.
They're even admitting to being just empty shells trying to get phrases they can reuse for minimal work/profit ratio
>>338547753
He did, but he was a one-trick pony and was far to uugu~ for the rest of the show.
Surprised Tex didn't get a sexy robo-kini.
I only watch Cow Chop. Unfamiliar with the rest of the brand so I can't pass judgement.
they went corporate, all their videos feel professional and not amateur which sucks. im not subscribed to them but i do watch their rooster teeth animated adventures which is the only thing i watch from them.
also posting best girl
>>338548339
If they hired him as a fight choreographer I MIGHT agree with you, unfortunately they hired him as an animator, and he was fucking garbage at that.
They sold out real fucking hard. Everything they've put out over the past, oh, three or four years, maybe more has been utterly soulless and devoid of any real creativity.
>>338547035
I'm amazed at how far they've come from being just "those guys who recorded Halo stuff and made it funny."
And now they're big shots who have how many different shows and shit in a company worth millions, its crazy to think about.
>>338548452
Great taste
Absolute shit. You have to be underage to enjoy it. The only tolerable thing was the podcast but that's been garbage since Geoff left.
>>338548313
Yeah this. They made it and instead to sticking to what makes them great (two guys making fun of an idiot playing crappy games) they tried to "innovate" and had "guests" who can't keep up with the racist jokes or crappy gimmicks like VR gaming and whatnot.
Even their podcasts got crappy with the studio feel to it. No more going off the rails because they got distracted with the gameplay. It's all couch and table serious now.
Should've stuck to their own thing instead of trying to be AH.2
>>338547035
Respected them highly back in the day, but the start of that fucking let's play channel was the beginning of the end for me. Once Ray left, I just stopped giving a shit.
>>338548474
The animator puts some of his style into the work. Always works like that.
He might not have been the final say, but he had pull and influence.
>watching that latest patch
>Ryan and Jeremy reviewing Uncharted 4 based on what they've watched
Inb4 le movie maymay xD great stuff /v/
They used to be alright, can't recall what made me stop watching. Just kind of got sick of it one day.
Right now I'm all about Easy Allies. Don't care how many people bitch about ecelebs on here or whatever. I love that channel to death, especially Kyle Bosman. Reminds me of late nineties shows about video games.
>>338547035
Never cared about anything they've done except Red vs Blue.
>>338547035
RedVsBlue was fun, dont know much else.
>>338548991
It's pretty ironic considering if they kept just doing what they did good they would eventually get way more views.
Once they established themselves they just decided to pander to the lowest common denominator to get as much money as possible even though they're owned by a big company.
Money>Quality
>>338547035
I look like Micheal I've been told
>>338549879
my condolences
I really enjoyed the Drunk Tank when it was still called that, idk about anything besides that other than maybe old RvB
>>338547035
I like them, I just haven't watched them as much since Ray left.
>>338549937
It's ok. I'm a better looking version. Slimmer face, beeter jaw, better eyebrows. I'm what micheal wants to be
>>338547783
Best girl lost an arm, so it's 3 v 3 again
I just can't take anyone seriously when it's blatantly evident that they are DEEP in a corporation's pocket. They are so far up Microsoft's ass that their opinions mean nothing.
I'm not trying to rag on them personally, but as a viewer, when they say things like 'Oh, Halo 5 is rad'. The constant verbal shitposting and Xbox wanking when they do anything on PlayStation/Wii games.
It's just hot air because Microsoft puts bread on their table. They can't say anything else.
It's especially apparent when they insist on playing the Xbox version of Minecraft, if not that they're playing that shit at all. Let alone for hundreds of episodes. Shit dude.
>>338548169
>The first 2 seasons of RWBY are actually good, animation aside.

Don't care about anything else.

ah is almost unwatchable these days
>>338551548
neck yourself my man
I've enjoyed them for a few years now, enjoyed the shit storm that Shane's letter caused.I got back into RT when Monty was hired, loved his work, after reading that circle jerk of a letter im more convinced now that Monty has a bad cause of Autism, some of those story ideas are terrible, Kerry and Miles taking over was the best thing that could have happened to RWBY
>>338551746

Youtube is a hell of a drug.
>>338552273
>>338552382
When people get fat I always feel sad. Even if I fucking hate their guts I want them to get back in shape.
I like their gta stuff but thats it
>>338547035
They sold out hard
They no longer care about their community and try to push videos
Despite saying that the forums are what made the site they immediately stopped giving a fuck and fled to reddit
They rushed that shit website update and ruined whatever was left of the community still on the site
They sold out
>>338552197
Monty did have something that's for sure, Autism or ADD or whatever the dude was a workaholic with his work and any ideas and input he had for RWBY sounded god awful. I'm more convinced now that volume 1 and 2 were trash because of Monty's input with the show, only thing he was good at was fight cinematography and design choices. Monty wanted RWBY to be a Soul Eater knockoff while Miles and Kerry want to evolve it into it's own thing.
Shane can piss off, he can't seem to move on and wants the show to revolve around him believing his word is the final word since he was Monty's "best friend". He should be more concerned for applying to his local Burger King than rallying up whiny fans.
>>338553538
Wal mart or Burger King are the only things that will hire him now, he burnt the bridge to ashes with that letter, the stupid part is, RT wanted him back after he got his shit together. Fucking hell dude, RT is getting pretty huge now, if he had not burnt that bridge he could have gotten a job anywhere.
What he does not seem to realize is, whenever you write or make a story, down the line things will change, You could have an awesome idea, but as the story goes on you realize that idea wont fit anywhere and cut it, like the Raven/JNPR fight, but no, Shane gets all ass blasted over that.
I unsubscribed once ray left and they started bringing in a bunch of other people like funhaus
irrelevant
Oh and they apparently hired a chick just because she was a fan that had LeVar Burton as a father
They're ruining funhaus with their partnership, and Micheal is honestly the least funny person on the internet currently. He's the master of killing a mood and his voice is fucking awful.
>>338551746
its literally just jordan and dan from that pic now, plus spencer, joe and that chick whose name i cant remember, sad times, cow chop is good though

>tfw I unironically watch RWBY
>>338547035
"That still exists?"
>>338548452
Mah nigga
I'm thinking about startingan animation channelfor fun.
Don't reckon I'll gain any sort of notoriety because I'm not comfortable shilling or asking people to share or like or any of that stuff. Seems too thirsty.
My goal is 1000 subs. I think that would be cool, just for the sake of making things I find funny.
All these but conglomerates on YouTube are pretty intimidating to look at though. Especially since they can pump out hours of videos each day.
Should be fun as a hobby though. I'm pretty psyched because I managed to snag a pretty good name. We'll see.
>>338555159

>>338547035
>What are your honest opinions on this company?
A house of cards
>>338555159
>>338555479
RWBY and RvB both have like 5 minute episodes so despite how shitty they can be theres really no reason to not watch it if you're remotely interested.
Season 1 and 2 or RWBY were watchable because the one thing the show gets right is the characters. They're all very likable in different ways. I especially like how outside of the sisters, none of the girls really like each other that much at first and they grow together as a team.
Season 3 was bad because the plot takes center stage and these writers can't write for shit. Also, while Roman was somewhat tolerable, Cinder is cringey as fuck to listen to and her cronies have one emotion: being smug.
I don't expect season 4 to be a any better.
>>338557114
Only the first season of RWBY really has that, afterwards they're all like 10 minutes at the minimum.
>>338547665
>Which team would win?
RWBY is objectively better than JNPR
>Muh Pyrrha
Yes, she's good, but Jaune being worthless cancels her out.
Ruby is faster than anyone on JNPR and Weiss is essentially a green lantern. She can do anything.
>>338547035
cancer
>>338547035
Sold out to Fullscreen and haven't looked back. They've got more money now at the cost of actually being funny. Only really tune if for podcasts now.
>Power Rankings
1. Pyrrha
2. Blake
3. Yang
4. Nora
5. Ruby
6. Li
7. Weiss
(Power gap)
999. Jaune
RWBY is overall a stronger team.
Jaune just brings down the team too much and Blake is a straight up Ninja and the only character to defeat Torchwick 1 on 1.
So I'm this guy's letter and holy fuck he's a terrible husband
>>338551397
I miss Ray.
lmfao every rt thread on this board devolves into talking about rwby
>Listen to a "lets play" and hear 40 people talking at the same time

Observe my 5, Redditors.
>>338547879
Clearly they do know how to run a business if they managed to get to the size they are right now.
>tfw room mates and I started watched RWBY
>...we like it
Are we insane or is the show just actually good?
I mean yeah. The animation is bad. The plot is SA2 fanfiction tier. The songs are cringey.
But for everything that's bad, the characters are likable, and Ruby is adorable. And I like Jaune. I hope he becomes ultra Tier eventually.
>>338547035
Funhaus is betterbUT dropping in quality slowly very slowly for every time they re-locate
>>338557942

You can tell it's something someone made purely because they wanted to, it's not some souless drivel that has sat through testing groups and boards over and over like most other modern shows. It's just autistic fanfictiony fun and it doesn't try to be anything else.
That's why it's good anon
Also because of waifus

Shane pretty much destroyed any hopes of a future career, in animation or otherwise. What future employer is going to look at that manifesto of him railing against his former employers and think "Yeah, I want to hire him"?
>>338559365
He knows that's how you make merchandise. And merchandise is how you bring in more money. I mean, hell, that's pretty much what his role with AH was; unwitting and unwilling catchphrase creator.

>What are your honest opinions on this company?
Well...this was funny. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7sXHiUBrZM
>Good Rooster Teeth
People who wanted a job getting drunk and playing video games
>Bad Rooster Teeth
People who wanted a job getting drunk and watching people play video games
They hired their fanbase, the autistic shits who voluntarily moderated their forums and bought their merch. That might sound like a good idea, but it isn't.
You hire people actually good at their job, and when your job is entertainment, that means not hiring unfunny pieces of shit.
It's basically a little microcosm if people from /v/ ended up getting hired to develop the games they never played, just talked about.
Of course they don't care, they've already accomplished their dream - they got drunk and made money playing video games.
>>338547494
I never saw any rooster teeth stuff but what you said pretty much describes my opinion on gamegrumps.
>>338547035
I have you enjoyed their content for years
>>338551548
>watch as it becomes the minecraft channel

I'm a sponsor on their site since the Lazer Team campaign and haven't regretted it yet.
Yo Lawrence, I think you guys are gool.
Ignoring LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE
The 3D Ultra Mini Golf shit is a literal work of art
>>338559754
Who are you talking about in particular? Because they did that with Jeremy and he's been fucking 10/10 recently.
Though that might just be Achievement Hunter. Rooster Teeth in general's gotten way too fucking big for me to even know the names of half the people they've stuck into shit.
>>338560434
I agree.And then Ray left.;_;
>>338560434
This is 100% right. If they made a new Achievement Hunter channel that was 100% mini golf, Worms Let's Plays, and Michael-hosted podcasts it would be better than Rooster Teeth has been in the last six years.
>>338560451
Jeremy is literally the exception that proves the rule.
Brandon, Matt, and Lindsay are intolerable.
>>338547035
They turned to shit once that angry guy started appearing in everything.
His shtick was never funny
>>338560831
Hasn't Brandon been there a really long time though, just not in videos? Not saying he isn't shit, just that he's not new.
And Lindsay is fine at least on the podcasts because Michael doesn't care that she has a vagina and gives her shit for being retarded.
>>338560923
You either mean Gus or Michael, which either means they've been shit from day one or you haven't watched RT garbage in ages because Michael hasn't done that shtick in years.
Meg Turney is a horrible cunt and needs to go away.
>>338561197
He stopped doing the rage quit thing or whatever but he hasn't stopped being a total fuck.
Anyone else: Hey guys can we ju-
Micheal: FUCKING GET OUT OF MY FUCKING WAY JESUS
>>338561493
>Meg Turney is a horrible cunt and needs to go away.
She's hot
>>338561709
Your standards are low. She's a twig with a particularly ugly knot of rotten wood for a face, and an even more rotten knot for a personality.
>>338547035
Shut. It. Down.
>>338548086
You mean Ray left? Also, where do you think RvB should have ended, and why? I assume you'll say either S8 or S10, but the Chorus Trilogy was pretty good, in my opinion.
>>338561787
For a 30 year old she has held her figure very well
I used to watch GameOverGreggy show
Then they left IGN, it became their main job and they turned it into commercialised shit with Kinda Funny
Then they sold out to RT and become even more commercialised and even more shit
>>338561709
She's annoying as shit
>hey guys I love portal and getting fucked!
>>338548417
James or Aleks? Also, which of their videos did you like most so far? For me it's either a Shovel Knight one or one of the YT Search ones.
>>338561084
Brandon is an excellent example of them fucking up and hiring fans, along with Barbara (though I will admit she's tolerable half of the time on the podcast). Brandon has no redeeming characteristics, he literally just complains through whatever he's doing with zero attempt at humor.
Gavin is exactly the halfway point. Because he actually did shit before being part of Rooster Teeth, he isn't nearly as mired in shit despite being essentially one of its core members.
They started out alright when they were a small youtube channel and the didnt push "content" all the time. I stopped following them very soon after they surfaced since they just covered console games and their popularity caused their content to become total cancer. As with any "popular" youtube channel. Turns out the only youtube "gaming" channels I follow are the type with less than 10k subs, everything else just gets ruined by their popularity.
>>338551548
Yep. I don't care about a fair amount of some of the games they play nowadays, but they're still pretty entertaining. More Gmod would be nice.
>>338562042
Does it count when all the shit he did was literally to give him a rich enough portfolio to bullshit his way into American and join Rooster Teeth?
>>338562059
I don't recognize this pasta.

>>338557942

Cow Chop's not bad so far. Their videos are pretty genuine so far, with only a group of 4-5 people, and two being the usual ones in videos.

>>338561838
Yeah, its been so long, I forgot the dude's name.
I thought RvB should have ended at season 5. Once they said Church was an AI, I thought it jumped the shark.
>>338562042
Brandon wasn't hired because he was a fan though. He was hired because he went to UT and did some work with them through a co-op
>>338547502
I understand the rest, but what's wrong with Miles and Kerry? All I really know is that they play some characters, wrote S3 of RWBY or something, and Miles wrote S11-13 of RvB.
>>338548802

>>338564549
RT panders far more to the console crowd.
They literally started as microsoft fanboys.
>>338564290
Curious, what did they do with Monty's character after he died? Did they recast the voice?
I'll still pop in and listen to a podcast if I'm dry on content to consume. But I have zero interest in anything they make aside from that, RvB was good all the way till the end of the Halo 2 era.
>>338547619
That's not Brandon
>>338564290
Why is the guy wearing a dress.
Please tell me this show doesn't have an outlandishly Trans character
>>338565063
No, it was just a bet.
>>338565063
As far as I know, it does not have one. I think it had to do with a bet or something.
>>338564680
Are Xbox fanboys even a thing anymore? Now that Halo's losing popularity you really don't see all that much love for the Xbox anymore.
>>338565063
No. It's actually pretty cute. The guy is just trying to cheer up his girlfriend.
The show has pretty much no SJW pandering.
>>338558838
There's plenty about RWBY that can be criticized, but it's the first thing they've made in a long time that wasn't done just for a cheap cash in. They clearly wanted to do this and tell this story.
The only real problem with RWBY outside of animation being pretty disgusting at times is the villains and the edgy vocals.

Ruby, Yang, Weiss, Blake, Pyrrha, Jaune, and Torchwick all have fine VAs.
Cinder is terrible but I think that's more the writing
>>338547035
Three or four years ago they were absolutely incredible; my friends and I would get together, listen to the Drunk Tank, and just chill. Over the past few years though they've gone downhill in a big way, though by and large I think that's a result of them just trying to embrace too many forms of content, not all of which they're really all that good at. I don't really care for most of their live action stuff, and the channels they've absorbed/started collaborating with suck massive ass. Last stuff they've done that I enjoyed was the GTA V let's plays, honestly.

They write a bad "anime" and have shit anime opinions. I remember there was a podcast where they were sponsored by the 25th anniversary Akira blu ray and Miles said he thought Akira was boring and dumb.
Drunk Tank was the shit.
Around the time it turned into Rooster Teeth Podcast is when it turned to shit. The original crew became guest stars and all the new douches like blain and that bitch that makes all those bad puns took over.

They lost me when they hired animators for Red vs. Blue and stopped just using the ingame engine while also making the story super serious. This is also around the same time that machinima became a big thing and not just a collection of vidya based skits that amateurs would do in their spare time.
What is the proper 'shill' etiquette for your own channels?
I never want to post it on /v/ because that's clearly an awful idea these days and I don't want to step on any toes.I don't do LPs. Just vidya animations, editorials w/ storyboards in the background and I'm writing up a script for a weekly animatic web show about video games.
Is there a place where you can blatantly, transparently shill where people won't get upset?
>>338567121
>They lost me when they hired animators for Red vs. Blue and stopped just using the ingame engine while also making the story super serious.
This.
The recollection was cool when I was like 17. Now it's just cancerous.
That being said, I do unironically enjoy RWBY, but I can admit season 3 was really cringey.
>>338566678
It's not a real season.
Just back stories.
>>338555261
started a channel a while ago and have had about 1 vid a day for about a month and a half (I know thats not very long), but I haven't been shilling or anything and no one watches it. And i mean no one. Every day it's zero views, if I didn't enjoy making videos I would have already stopped. It's not animations, it's a much shittier platform so I don't know if it's a good comparison. I'm like you and I don't like begging for views, but I may have to start soon otherwise I don't know how much longer I'll keep it up.
Kerry is the best thing to happen to RT.
I miss Ray.
I'm glad Matt didn't get Ray's open spot, but I don't like Jeremy much better. I wish these cunts wouldn't be such console plebs and do more PC stuff like Ryan wants.
RIP Monty
I heard that Griffon cucked Geoff with Burnie, and that's why you never see Geoff and Burnie in videos together. I don't want to believe it, but it's true that they don't work together anymore.
I want to sniff Barb's panties.
>>338568396
What kind of videos do you make?
No sense in feeling shame since you don't have to post a link or say your username.
No matter which video you're making, there are several things people usually monumentally fuck up.
The thumbnail, the title, and the channel name.
Also, general a/v quality. The first few minutes have to be immediately entertaining.
Video length is also a factor.
>>338568014
Just do it here but don't try and trick people, if you say hey look at this guy I found and you have like 11 subs people will call you out.
Met Barbara on the overnight bus from Montreal to Boston going to the first pax east. She was a nobody and RT weren't very big. We're still facebook friends.
I stopped watching them all together a few years ago.
Anyone remember Griffin and Luke's comics?
They were pretty generic looking back, but at the time I loved reading them. Shame to see them go.
I used to watch RvB and some of their other shows a lot. Always thought Achievement Hunter was garbage.
>>338568014
There are "post your youtube" threads from time to time, if you're really self conscious wait for one of those or make one yourself.
>>338568396
Go on then, post it. I wanna see.
>>338568732
Nah Burnie's had his fill of batshit women.
>>338569554
True.
I also want to sniff Ashley's panties.
>>338548417I still don't lie Aron, Joe and Trevor are all right
>>338568789
basic let's plays and one offs, also a podcast that we pretty much quit.
I'm actually part of a group, but I basically run it
I've been told the name is bad, but I am terrible with names and I kind of want to stick with it.
I put a decent amount of effort into the thumbnails so I don't think that's it.
A/V quality shouldn't be a problem either. We're not pro's but I've seen much worse, and I'm getting better.
We do what we can to be entertaining, but we are what we are.
There are probably a lot of things I'm doing wrong in a sense, but I don't think that most of them can be helped at the current time, and the others I'm working on. Mostly I just think that we have no visibility because no one watches to bring it up none of us try to spread the word.
>>338568396
I'll watch your channel anon. Link?
>>338569176
Did you talk to her? How do you define meet?
Best rooster teeth show is the strangerhood
>>338569735
Out of those three, I'd say Trevor's been the best so far.
>>338569861Does your username have numbers in it?
Only really watch let's play and achievement hunter, but im still a big fan. Couldn't give a shit about funhause/screwattack/whatever company they devour next though
>>338568732
I do like Kerry, but what makes him "the best thing"? Also, any details on Griffon supposedly cucking Geoff, because I've never heard anything like that. Also, define "anymore", because the RvB Chorus Trilogy that ended last summer has both Grif and Church, or Geoff and Burnie, in which they would probably have still work together some, I assume.
>>338570232
Nah
>>338568789
>>338569883
>>338569439
I suppose there's nothing wrong in showing a bunch of strangers on the internet something I enjoy doing. Even if it's not that great. So here's a link.

>In the success story where Aleks smacks him with a bottle
Trevor is pretty great
>>338566678
To be fair, Ian and Anthony did some voices back in S9 and I think 10, and Grumps had a few voices in S13. It will be more noticeable this time though since apparently they're writing one of the episodes for S14 I believe.
Easy Allies is the fucking best.
Their D&D episodes made me realize that it actually looks kind of fun. I always assumed it was lame like all TV shows and movies portray it. You know, fat neckbeards taking it way too seriously and the like. Looks like a lot of fucking fun. Watch each episode and they're like an hour a piece.
Also, Kyle Bosman is literally Jesus.
>>338566629
Who was your favorite character introduced during the Chorus Trilogy? Also I agree partly because it wasn't as serious as Recollections as a whole or S9-10.
>>338565726
Properly animate. Jesus christ this show looks awful. Some legitimately good character designs but everything else about it is just so fucking bad.
>>338570680
I'll get around to it tomorrow.
Thanks.
>>338570680
Well, you're only one fucking month old dude. These things take time.
Also, thing about YouTube is that growth is exponential.
All it takes is one lucky video to get a couple thousand views, then you get a couple hundred subscribers, your videos get more regular views because of that. Another, even more successful video happens, more subs etc
Just need to get that snowball rolling.
>>338571313
This.
Just stick with its
>>338571313
>>338571380
yeah, but a vid a day is a bit grueling, especially when no one watches. if anything I'd just slow down.
>>338566678
The fuck. I thought this ended like in 2006 when they blew up the whole map and it turned out they were in a multiplayer screen.
I stopped watching Lets Play when Funhaus started. Besides their minigolf and heists they've turned to shit. Funhaus has some decent shows, but their podcast is pretty bad. Elyse is funny and my GT-fu.
Can anyone actually watch RWBY? The voice acting is just terrible. Screwattack really sucks now, which is just sad.
>>338547035
All the new stuff is one long-ass cringefest.
The old stuff is still fun to watch though. My favorites are:
>The worms LPs
>All the minigolf stuff
>Boardgame plays are fun when they're not with the literally who's
>A very limited selection of the early Minecraft videos, this is terribly limited though
>A few specific Simulator videos
Absolutely everything else they do is utter cash-grabbing garbage.
I cannot fathom how this company still makes enough money to employ as many people as it does.
>>338571641
That was an alternate ending, one of 5, the real BGC ending was different.
>>338570680
Channel name is fine, the channel looks nicely put together, thumbnails aren't particularly interesting but I'd say at least it's good that it's immediately clear which series a video is part of. Audio is good, voice is decent. I suspect part of your issue is you're doing long plays, which I suspect it's harder to grab audiences with seeing as of course, they take so long to watch and most people probably won't finish them, leaving them without any sense of completion, and if you don't like the game the person is playing at the moment, it can be a long time before something pops up that you ARE interested in watching. If you did this like 5 years ago I bet you'd be doing better, but even now for what it's worth I think you have a pretty good chance if you stick it out long enough. For reference, I subscribe to a youtuber who at his best has gotten ~4 million views on videos, I've looked back at his videos and based on stuff I see there and when I came in, it seems to me it took him something like a year and a half to get successful, and I noticed a similar timespan in another guy he often collaborates with i don't actually know how common that is, but there you have it. One criticism I do have, when I clicked the link I immediately clicked on your channel link, and for a few minutes I thought youtube was broken because there's no tab right below the banner to click on to go to the uploads page, instead you only have it in the horizontal stream of recent videos. I can only guess that's a channel setting, I would definitely recommend adding the tab as an option.
>>338547035
Achievement Hunter's GTA videos were mostly good (although I really can't stand Michael sometimes)
That shit I saw about the fallout 4 review made me cringe, though.
>>338571705
>I cannot fathom how this company still makes enough money to employ as many people as it does.
From what I've seen their fans are mostly highschool and college-age people, not quite as many young kids as other gaming channels. I guess a lot of people just have shit taste.
They translate those fans into money through youtube advertising and product promotion.
Question, from someone who doesn't understand anything about anything: how does this company stay afloat?
Like, they must be a dozen people by now. How do they make enough money to pay everyone 30k a year?
>>338572036
Yeah, but you wouldn't think a company of 20 people (I'm just guessing at a number, so that could be completely wrong) manage to sustain itself like this? The more I think about it, the more I realize that there is probably some serious money to be made in advertisement.
>>338570680
You have to make the titles a little more eye grabbing. Not quite clickbait because "BOOBS IN MINECRAFT?!?!?!?!" and the like is just obnoxious.
Just need to make the title stand out. Reference something that happened in the video.
Themed shows also do well nowadays.
Find a niche.
>>338571505
You don't have to do a video a day.
Try to do at least 1 or 2 a week then when you get viewers you can increase
>>338570680
Try to make your commentary less awkward. People are just constantly talking over each other, half the jokes fall flat or are interrupted by other jokes, and one guy is consistently way louder than everyone else. Also having a fuckload of people doing a more informal commentary like that isn't very interesting in the first place if nobody knows who any of the people are.
>>338572203
They have a crew of about 75 people fuck me
>>338571839
I'll have to see what I can do about it.
and thanks for the commentary. it's nice to hear some opinions other than our own and a few friends I have, who all just say, "it's good."
And I suspected that most of our views wouldn't come from part xx of whatever play through, and like I said I have a few problems I'm working on and diversifying is one of them. It's hard though when we only have a few hours a week since, I'm not a fan of using skype to record since the audio quality is better in person and we have better chemistry. That being said though our dark souls is on skype and I don't think it's too bad. Just not something that's going to grab new viewers.
>>338572203
It's not advertisement, youtube ads aren't worth dick unless it's like one or two people getting all the money, the money is in the merchandise, that's why they advertise their website's store so much in videos.
>there are people that unironically watch RWBY
The animation is a barrel of laughs, to be fair.
>>338572431
Holy hell. And how many actual on-camera personalities are there? 5? 10?
What the fuck do the last 60 people do?
I mean, yeah, 10 people are probably editors that work the day by just cutting their goofy shit together, but that still leaves 50 people to fetch coffee.
It kinda' feels like whatDSPthrough he would be doing. He always talked about starting his own entertainment company, you know? It's almost insane that these people manage to churn out pretty good pay for 75 employees though.
>>338572615
No problem. Sorry about the formatting in my post btw, I don't often write particularly long posts and I forgot to space things out until I saw how hideous it looked once it posted.
>>338547035
not funny
lots of cringe
>>338570680
>>338572407
That last bit goes for the podcast as well. It couldn't hurt to already be doing one to help build up those personalities for your audience, but it really needs to slow down. It looks like you guys did 7 episodes in the span of a month. Try doing it monthly instead.
>>338547035
I liked their old stuff since it was just a bunch of friends having a laugh.
Since becoming a more professional company with tons more employees, the souls disappeared.
The drunk tank was far more fun than the co-optional podcast.
>>338572672
>merchandise
Really? I mean, do people actually wear RoosterTeeth shit?
I'm from some shit Scandi country, so maybe it's bigger in the non-meme lands, but I've never seen anyone wear a fucking Gavin-shirt.
>>338572932
We tried to do one a week, and we just didn't have enough to talk about. When, E3 rolls around I'll bet well do one or two maybe pre and post
>>338561493
>meg turney shits up my sourcefed talkshows
>she moves leaves to go shit up roosterteeth
thank fuck. she's a huge slut who likes posing in her underwear and calling it "art" and though i like anime and all, she can't have a normal conversation without bringing up some anime that she's seen. though now sourcefed is 10/10. they really know how to hire the good stuff
>>338573053
I bought an I hate the bands that you like t-shirt like 10 years ago
RT really took the shotgun approach to merch and just stuck basically anything said by gavin on a shirt in hopes of selling it
apparently it works but they have bar none the most garbage selection of merchandise
>>338572038
Owned by a much larger company. Sell merch. advertise on youtube. throw out sponsors for almost everything.
they made fucking $905,000.... NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND for a fucking card game... that already exists
>>338573053
I've personally seen quite a few of those pin-on buttons out in the wild.
I still think a lot of their money comes from product placements in the videos. I mean when you have as many viewers as RT, surely you have publishers approach you to do a playthrough and say good things about their game?
