Sounds like you're restructuring and cutting costs, and that the YT channel is the first casualty. The plea for volunteers to do a job you paid Bradley, Emily & Lucas to do is quite a ballsy move - all I can say is good luck!

Well, Bradley made this channel what it is. Lucas and Emily also did great work. Without them there is nothing left... I don't think the old format was dated at all and I'm not very interested in where you want to take the channel, it doesn't fit the same demographic and if you think it does you won't last very long. I hope you will find new people in that demographic but sadly I can't stay around, the competition is fierce and you're obviously not able to put in the resources that will be required to make something unique, at best this will basically be a copy of Vice.

Thanks disembodied voice.. totally will stay subscribed to basically a new channel I don't know anything about yet 💀

The way Bradley and Emily presented the topics was what made the channel unique and the content worth watching for me. I don't think letting them go is a very good decision. This seems like a jump-start towards the channel's demise. I wish you guys the best of luck after these changes, but I'm out.

Not the greatest news, but fingers crossed for the new content. Bradley and the crew were awesome, shame they're gone.

Sounds like PR spin for cost cutting to me. You’re crazy dropping the presenter led, beautifully shot and originally produced films. It’s become a big chunk of your brand and was original and brilliantly executed. Lastly now you want community managers to come work for free? For your business? The one that’s just slashed it’s costs by dropping presenters and video output? Yeah….nah.

*_"Bradly, Emily and Lucas are leaving us."_* You are going to change the content, the content style and hosts all at the same time! This will make it an entirely different channel with just old name, Sumsub. Unsubscribing for now. Hopefully KZread will recommend this channel again to me if it's any good in the future. Best of luck.

any news of where bradley and emily are going? anywhere we could follow? I'm curious of what the new sumsub will be, though. might be good, might not be. we'll see. i'm staying to find out :-)

My two favorite parts of this channel were the hosts and the content. I don't know if I'll continue to watch if both of those things are going away. It also seems like the channel is moving away from what made it special and more towards what the youtube algorithm wants, which is also something I am sad to see in this channel as well as many others.

I just realised that without Bradley, I have never watched any video here again. I may not know what happened behind the scene. Bradley created identity of this channel(together with the team behind ofcourse) Bradley knows what he's doing, talks like someone who understands network security issues. The presentation was the main thing that made Sumsub outstanding. In youtube the're junk of videos, click baits and only 1 viewer at a time, so you gotta to convince me to watch your videos and previously you did.

They are restructuring and cutting production costs to increase profits from KZread. Ditching the paid the hosts, fancy sets and quartering the videos per month will save samsub a significant amount of money in production costs and their channel will likely still grow at a similar rate. So in a way you could say they sold out as they are cutting out the original hosts in order to save money.

Boom. Channel 5'd

Hypothesis: Sumsub is a website devoted primarily to selling cybersecurity solutions to individuals and businesses. Sumsub the privacy and security KZread channel--while being a very creative and engrossing endeavor--is obviously still a pet project of the company, and it's easy to see that it's not getting the views that the management have been expecting. As such, I theorize that they let the hosts go and have reduced the production value in order to save costs and produce more budget apt videos going forward I hope Bradley, Emily, and Lucas success wherever they will go forward. They've been fantastic hosts, and people will definitely flock to them wherever they go next. Who knows--maybe Bradley will no an "NCIX and Linus Sebastian" move and create his own channel going forward? Only the future knows.

I was new to this channel , subbed nearly 4 months back because i loved the hosting style and the content delivery. I did feel that this channel hasn't been getting enough views or likes for the content and work puttin ... I don't know i would be watching shorts as they really don't appeal to me . All the best for your ventures.

Bradly was why I subscribed tho and so was the type of content. Not sure why you’re saying that people got bored and the last few months were a crisis, looking at the comments you’d think the opposite is the case

I’ve always wondered how this channel could possibly hope to monetise with its seemingly extortionate production costs and quality… I think it should be crystal clear though that is a cost-cutting exercise with restructuring going on to attempt to make this feasible for the company partner. I will keep subscribed but I’m not sure this channel has a soul anymore that was Bradley.

I'll miss Bradley and had proper come round to liking Emily, too. I try to embrace change because it's inevitable so I'm excited for the future. Hopefully the departure was all on good terms.

KZread doesn`t like when channel changes format and makes long pauses, + audience doesn`t like when face of the channel (people representing it) is changing. I hope for the best but example of dosens channels says that it`ll probably wont go well/as planned.

awww only here for Bradley

A single hour long video and bunch of shorts is probably the worst choice imho. There are not that many topics that you can make an hour long video about without filling it out with a lot of useless fluff. Also, some people just can't immediately find time for an hour long vid, especially if it's about something that they are not particularly interested in. Shorts on the other hand suffer from opposite problem. Not enough time to disclose any relevant information about the topic, and even if they get millions of views I feel like barely any of the viewers will flock to the "main" content. I hope this channel won't just dissolve to meaningless shorts exclusively content. Really gonna miss the hosts, hope they're gonna make their own channels, they were what made me like this channel.

“The format of crazy backgrounds and elegant storytellers has exhausted itself” Someone needs to tell Contrapoints. For me, that was one of the factors that made this channel stand out in the sea of mediocrity that is KZread. If you want to be successful on KZread (and I have a very successful channel that isn’t this one. KZread is my job), then you need to forget all this ‘strategy’ stuff. Just make what you want to make in the best way you can. It takes time too, but success hits at some point and it happens fast. You’ll have one video that will go crazy viral, and with a portfolio of solid content on your channel, you will quickly gain a larger audience. Then growth becomes exponential.

shorts no thank you. just make the long form videos, those are what i would like to watch.

This seems sooo SUS…

Honestly most of the successful channels work because of the people presenting them. It will most likely be a completely new start for you. I wish you all the best for that but I'm not sure how well this will go with your current audience.

Looking forward to new content, whatever it is. Best wishes to Bradley and Emily, they were excellent presenters and will make awesome content wherever they go. Sumsub is a great channel and will be a great resource for people with legacy content, and I am sure there will be more great stuff in the future. Cheers!!

RIP Sumsub

I'll stick around. Honestly, I prefer long form videos that presents detailed analysis on a topic over short form ones. Let's see how it goes

Bradly and Emily are gone. I'm out too.

That's a shame about the hosts, I have to admit I had a small crush on Emily - plus I know all about her after that video where Bradley exposed her - lol

I subbed for Bradley, and cause it was the most original vibe for videos, it was also unique for me and made sumsub channel what it was. So I am sadly i subbing after over half a year, If il get some videos in my recommended section and like it might resub, But for now I’m unsubbing, IMO Bradley was sumsub face

Curious as to why channels seem to do this. Did King of Random survive getting rid of Nate and Cali? Have never seen a video recommended to me since the left. Good luck to you on this one. I personally find videos longer than 18 minutes long to be too much of a time commitment for the way I watch KZread, and sometimes never get around to watching them.

As soon as the video started and the circle started talking I knew the channel was in the shit.

I hope this decision works out well but I personally am a little disappointed. I felt the hosts did a great job selling the image and character of this channel and they will be missed.

I loved the videos with Bradley...

I dont watch shorts as a principle. So its been great but this is a goodbye.
