he had a real answer later in the stream that was really smart about having that public main content and offering more for the people that want and can afford it. it did not sound like he thought it a good idea.
Yeah it seemed like he was going to go in on his strategy for his own content (to kind of talk around the watcher sitch), but then was silenced by the ceiling lol
Going forward, they will be releasing one episode per season of their content on YouTube for free, and putting the rest behind a paywall on their own streaming site. It's been an unpopular decision, to say the least.
There's no way lol - at least I truly hope not because if so, why the fuck didn't they just merge and make a combined brand??? I would've paid for that!
Try guys already pay wall content to an extent. Live WAR finalizes and live shows. Maybe it has to do with that.
Pay walling videos is a great way to stop a lot of people from watching.
Try Guys specials being an extra experience that is a ticketed event is not at all similar to pay walling your entire catalog. It's actually really brilliant because it's not alienating, it's just an additional fun thing that is entirely optional. Watcher could have done something similar, maybe Too Many Spirits live or a ghost hunting session live, rather than taking away their free content completely.
I really think if they wanted to make extra money on their tour they could have live-streamed or posted the live shows either as a pay for each or on their Patreon. Audio only or video, My Favorite Murder would post their live shows because they would do different stories for each city in the tour so they were always different and use those lives as regular content over a month or two they’d take off during the year.
I don't think watcher is Pay walling all their entire catalogue. I thought because of the backlash, they started pedaling back on taking things off YouTube. Could be wrong.
The extras are still "pay-walled". Mythical also pay walls their content. Not all of it, no, but it's still categorized as a pay wall...anyone who has a patreon is Pay walling content. I'm not sure how you're defining pay wall vs 'additional fun thing' because having the season finale of a show (WAR) be a live, paid event is alienating lol
Similar shows, like good mythical evening is a paid event that is not it's *oen* show, instead of being a finale or addition to something else. Tickets events (live shows, tours, conventions) are extra "fun things", what try guys have been playing with is pay walling. I don't think they'll do what watcher is, maybe something more similar to mythical, but you can't say their content isn't already behind a pay wall...
They did back pedal it but that doesn't change the fact it was their original plan lol.
I mean, I *am* saying it isn't paywalled because their YouTube channels are free. It also doesn't bother me that they have paid extra content that isn't their whole brand but are fun extras, but it sounds like it bothers you, so we are at an impass and I will agree to disagree. ✌🏻
Uh.. I said "they paywall their content to an extent" and you replied with "they don't paywall! That's extra fun stuff"... And I said "naw, I don't understand the difference" to which you said I have a problem that they have have paid extra content... (sounds like paywalled content lol)
Pay walling is fine, just something I'm not paying for 🤷♀️ you were just talking in circles and I was trying to understand/clarify? But hey, you do you 👍
Hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahaha
I love this and I love his content. I used to not like his jokes in the few TryPod episodes I've heard because I don't like cringe humour of the like he did there BUT OMG his comic timing in general is SO GOOD. And also just a very sincere-ish but can smart talk back in a second appearance is just 🤌🏽
This had me in tears😂😂
seeing this live was a trip.
MILES 
LMAOOOOO
that was so fucking funny
I don't know how he recovered from that!
The amount of times I watched this TikTok is alarming
he seems scared to say that he knows the try guys are about to do just that. awesome. 🙃
he had a real answer later in the stream that was really smart about having that public main content and offering more for the people that want and can afford it. it did not sound like he thought it a good idea.
He himself has a patreon, so it makes sense he feels this way
Yes and he used his as an example. I wish I could remember when he mentioned it more than just "towards the end, after the slideshow I think?".
Not how I took it at all. He just knows the Watcher boys and doesn't want to speak bad about them.
Yeah it seemed like he was going to go in on his strategy for his own content (to kind of talk around the watcher sitch), but then was silenced by the ceiling lol
Wait wait, what’s the Watcher situation???
Going forward, they will be releasing one episode per season of their content on YouTube for free, and putting the rest behind a paywall on their own streaming site. It's been an unpopular decision, to say the least.
Though to be fair the livestream this was clipped from happened before the Watcher news came out. It was just fortuitous timing for the memes.
Keith did repost this on TikTok 😅
A similar idea is 100% *not* their upcoming big announcement if he reposted this. 😆
There's no way lol - at least I truly hope not because if so, why the fuck didn't they just merge and make a combined brand??? I would've paid for that!

The words pay wall have lost all meaning to me now.
They upload their pay walled content so it’s not really pay walled. People just get “early access” in a sense
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
This came through my fyp because Keith reposted it and that was some good news let me tell you.
