With Eugene attending the Oscars this year, it was a clear sign that his career was taking off in a different direction than Zach and Keith's. Honestly, I'm happy for all of them but it's the inevitable end of an era.

For me, there's a big difference between watcher and the try guys. The try guys clearly are trying to do what their fans want without catering to the algorithm. Watcher felt like a cash grab and not a genuine transition. I'm happy for the try guys. This is an expansion that will help them grow

@Robinv0224

True. And the tryguys have only ever wanted to do their audience right. Considering the tryguys have been on their own for 8 years now it feels like they are more in-tuned with their audience. I do think the watcher situation helped tryguys do it a better way but I think since they know how much their audience has grown up over the years there is a larger amount of adults watching tryguys than watcher. Aka they know a lot of us have our own money. Watcher is technically newer than tryguys. As silly as the tryguys are, they seem to be geared towards an older audience now. The watcher guys don’t really seem to be connected to their audience in ways the tryguys are. Plus the tryguys all have their own companies that support their own incomes. Watcher is just watcher. Also the fact that tryguys give you a free 3 day trial helped too.

Well, the algorithm and all 😂

Keith and Zach went into a lot more details on their podcast. They covered a lot of business side and shared how they consulted with Mythical, Smosh, and Dropout to figure out how to balance the algorithm with creating content. They explained further what they meant by uncensored. Sorry folks, no uncensored Zach accidental dick reveal video, but they will have a lot more freedom with regards to language and content. Apparently they had a video demonetized for the word "butthole". What they said regarding Eugene's departure showed the decision came from love. Both didn't want Eugene to keep putting off his dream projects to prioritize the Try Guys. Another big thing is they understand that many people are overwhelmed with the bazillion streaming services this is where it's really clear they talked with Sam Reich because like Dropout, they're also offering the paid streaming content through KZread subscription. Dropout learned that based upon country some people can't access their app and for others the exchange rate/taxes makes a KZread subscription actually cheaper than a separate app. The Try Guys really could have a side business consulting with KZreadrs because they really handled this well.

@hyde1893

Ай бұрын

makes total sense that they consulted dropout, i was thinking that their model sounded more akin to dropout than any other service

Im relieved they’re not giving up on KZread, that way people who want to pay can support them but those of us who can’t still get to enjoy their content

I hate the new algorithms, on every platform they're getting dumber and more catered to children who make them a lot more money. I think at this point we should have a designated youtube for people over 13-15 years old and ones for the younger generation. That way the platform wouldn't turn into a cesspool of rainbow, fast paste, scripted videos and the creators working hard on their content will be able to reach the audiences they make it for.

The try guys may have had the same thing planned as Watcher, we’ll never know because they had the chance to watch Watchers announcement and the fall out after it. They potentially even changed their price, and added the free trial after Watchers announcement. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a bit of a race for Watcher to announce since I’m sure they all knew each other’s plans and also have an overlap with some viewers. First to announce would get people to sign up and some only having money to support one KZread group, would spend it on who announced first. Will be interesting to see where they’re both at in a year when everything is back to full price.

True 💯

The difference between Watcher and Try Guys is that the Try Guys has the content to back it up. Some of their latest content/pilot episodes seemed to have higher budget so it would suck if those videos would get demonetized due to YT guidelines

Try guys handles it well, they're not leaving KZread just for that subscription app. The rotation for the 4th guy is also smart, everyone got their part. Eugene leaving is expected since he's so busy on his job but its still sad to see him leaving, hope he's doing well on what he do

I understand the move to a streaming platform (Collegehumor/Dropout has done very well), but I don’t understand why each of these channels has decided to create their own streaming platform rather than working together to create a larger community platform. Like why not try to get bundled in with something like Dropout but negotiate the contract to have the maximum level of freedom?

My guess is control. Yes, there are advantages (creative and financial) of working together in larger communal platforms, but you pay for that by having to cede control and compromise on a lot of things. I imagine many creators, having spent years beholden to KZread, may value the relative freedom and control of having their own independent platform over anything else.

IMO, I’m sick of multiple streaming services and I won’t do it. However, I think the streaming services that are available need to be more invested in the creators on their platforms.

@lwitte8857

Ай бұрын

I get what you mean but also get that KZread is making it so creators can’t make the content they want to. When a company gets to be that big and the production level is this high they can’t afford to have a video demonetized in a way that feels almost random. If you haven’t seen dropout ( what college humor became) you should check them out! The try guys have actually been on it as they have a lot of game shows! They do a great job with their recurring cast and treating creators well IMO.

Can never make me hate the try guys , wherever they go to post there videos I’ll gladly go there and watch them

I think it's time for a new streaming platform to be KZread's competition. As much as I love how YT started; it now became too commercialized and yes, I understand that they need more money to pay creators but they placed too many restrictions and prioritized companies rather than creators. YT is becoming harder to enjoy.

Between Watcher, Critical Role and Try Guys making their own streaming service, it's just waiting for Mythical to follow in the same direction. Really enjoy how we are reinventing TV🤦🏻‍♀️

I felt Eugene pulling away for awhile. I can’t blame the guy for wanting to explore other opportunities. Particularly if his heart isn’t in it. I felt sad. I’ve watched these guys since they were with that one company. I want them to be extremely successful. After thinking of it for awhile I am simply not purchasing many things that don’t have at least 2 functions 😂. I know that seems extreme but money is tight and times are hard. I don’t pay for cable and solely use streaming services I just can’t seem to reconcile buying one streaming service just to watch them. Hopefully my views from YT will still equal support and I do hope others (with disposable income) buy many subscriptions. Good luck to Eugene and the TG group! Change can be hard to adapt to but sometimes end up being for the best! 🤟🏾

Eugene has been ready to leave and it’s great that he still supports his company and friends. I do wonder if he is still a silent partner in the company or if they actually bought him out.

I saw an Instagram comment below the 2nd Try announcement that basically said "now this is how you launch a streaming service" and I lowkey agree

Ай бұрын

Money, usually. It’s pretty simple

I really think creators will realize soon that people are not up for running from one platform to another.

me personally, i don’t see this as a streaming service but just their version of patreon. just like how there’s a monthly fee over there to access exclusive content, its going to be the same for 2nd Try. i honestly wish more creators did this instead of using Patreon since Patreon is really only accessible through handheld devices.

I personally don't care about early access or algorithms, I only open YT to watch something when I'm eating, showering or doing chores. I tap on the first video that comes up and let the autoplay do it's job.

I pay for their Patreon just to get videos a day early. Now I can sub to the video service and get access to past and future live streams that usually cost $20! Excited! Excited to see my favorites being added as a cast! But sad to see Eugene go! But I know he's gonna do great things❤

I heard about them starting the 2nd try through Laurdiy whose good friends with the boys and I was a little skeptical but now watching your video im a little more understanding, thx always, tea spill!

This made me actually want to pay for the subscription more than their actual videos talking about the decision. So thank you! 😊

The thing is, there’s so much extra money involved with buying different streaming platforms. Especially patreon. I can hardly keep up with the amount of extra content creators that want to be supported.

I support this and the way they thought carefully about what to do as a duo, now that Eugene is leaving. I still hope he can be a guest appearance when he has time though.

Honestly, I stopped watching them years ago

Gurl! 😂 you got me with this title but I'm happy i clicked. Super happy for these guys❤

"Everyone is leaving" since when is Eugene everyone?

So basically they are just becoming a version of Smosh with a subscription service. I dont know why they didnt think of this earlier.

This is the earliest I’ve ever been lmao

There is not a single youtuber/channel That I would pay a monthly subscription for.

Girl ur fast 🤣👏🏼

Can't believe I've been watching these guys for a decade. Things are bound to change what can you do...

This is a great change!! Very thoughtful and fun!

I wasn’t subscribed to their Patreon, but I did subscribe to this the minute I heard about it!! I’m actually excited for it..

Summay: they are launching a platform but STILL MAKING YT VIDEOS

i am very excited about 2nd Try, I am very happy for all of them that they are able to do this. For everybody involved this seems like the best outcome to be honest. We can not expect everybody to stay the same forever, people want different things at different stages in their life and that is fine. I am happy for them, truly. All their fans are supportive, too.

Seems like the Try Guys went the route that Good Mythical Morning went years ago when they launched their app.

So like…do people regularly scroll the home page? ‘cause I only look at who I’m subscribed to 😅

People are leaving KZread, at least slowly and for certain content. People are on TikTok nowadays and that's what Jeffrey star is doing, moving to TikTok and only upload long videos or promotion on KZread

Best thing they said is what if youtube crashes 1 day?

This is so ridiculous there’s literally no drama

We love Eugene, we are proud of Eugene, and we can’t wait to see what he will do next 🩷 We’re all so proud of you!!!

Big changes like this are always bittersweet, but genuinely good luck to Eugene and the new Try Guys and I hope we still get to see Eugene as a guest in future videos!

Clocked watcher! I will always love The Try Guys and how they value their audience ❤ I’m so excited to watch 2nd Try

... wait so as they saw the other buzzfeed group try a streaming service they're also trying to go for it???? Why

0:26 watcher were not doing very well for themselves they've been very open that they've been struggling very hard and have been really stressed out trying to make ends meet.

Okay also this sounds more like what Corridor Crew does which is sooo smart rather than what watcher tried doing

Idk without Eugene I am checked tf out. Their content is nowhere near good enough to EVER pay for. Zach has always been the least likeable to me, to have only Keith and him left... yeah no

The try guys did it right. and im actually excited for this new chapter. and btw. the new try guys are really fun too! i will miss eugene but im happy they are doing new things!

imma go and watch all of their youtube videos to help with the algorithm

I’ve been watching them since the buzzfeed days and watching them grow into who they are now has def been a journey. One that I will continue to follow them on. I think they’re taking all the right steps that they can and I’m so happy for Eugene and that he can fully pursue his passions. 💛💛💛

Thanks to Watcher taking the leap first they knew what not to do... I think it'll work out for them

Yeah I'm not paying for another streaming service. & they're going to slowly migrate entirely to this new platform if it proves to be successful. Miss me with this.

They are becoming a new buzzfeed. Literally every person who leaves does this. They've come full circle

Honestly, i think everyone thought Eugene would be the first one to leave until Ned screwed up

They were doomed the minute Ned left but we supported them as a kind of revenge against Ned…turns out they are not as good when it’s half the cast by now and some random people are trying to replace Eugene and Ned

Whether its an apology video or big changes. The Try Guys seems to be the very few who knows how to handle them maturely

tbh i would pay money for just a month of content and binge watch everything!

Eugene's video was masterfully done. Best of luck to him.

Yeah, well I guess we’ll just have to wait and see if the quality of content on the KZread channel stays the same or takes a dive…..??? 🧐

They’re basically doing what dropout tv did and I’m so proud of them. Stuff we love stays on KZread for people who won’t subscribe while if you want a lot more content/uncensored stuff you can watch it there. Also officially adding the people we already know and love as cast members just makes sense. And while it is sad Eugene is leaving I’m too proud of him and the guys to be sad. He gets to live his dream and they get to continue living theirs as they should. I’m hoping for nothing but success for all of them!

Who is here after recent trypod

Idk I kinda hate that people are celebrating them having a whole new cast, but shamed Watcher for adding two new cast members who were on a popular show before Steven left for watcher. People pick and choose these days. They probably had the same concept of Watcher but changed after the fall out

Jared is a treasure, he’s been my favorite guest recently and I’m so happy he’ll be regularly featured in videos!

i think a big difference is watcher expected their fans to subscribe cause it was only a "small amount" of money a month but try guys aren't completing leaving youtube

Adding Johnny cakes is genius. I don’t even watch try guys but I will now! Smart business moves!!

I think they’re being much more careful after the whole watcher drama, they probably made some changes

While i do wish i could view ALL of their new content, i can appreciate what theyre doing. They did their best to find a middle ground that worked for them without punishing the people who brought them to where they are now. Im excited to see their new work and hopefully i can afford the service soon so i can see all of the new exciting stuff!

Me listening in on something I've never heard of

Lmao that’s how you do it watcher take notes

2nd Try? More like 'We tried'.

i knew for years eugene would eventually leave i’m just shocked it took this long

Feels a bit like how SMOSH extended their roster

I'd pay to see their groupchat when the whole watcher shitshow went down lol

eye-ROLL

I watched them since buzzfeed times, but haven’t watched their videos for like 3ish years at this point, cause it’s just not enjoyable anymore. They’ve changed a lot and imo not for the better. They seem more fake, over the top and theatrical. Saying that, looks like they still have many fans, who are willing to pay for the subscription. So obviously, they’ll do it as long as they still earn decent money.

Why do all these ex buzzfeed employees think their content is transformative

When I watched the beginning of that video, I thought they were about to start OF

After I saw Eugene get casted in nimona I knew this was coming. My heart BROKE. When I saw watcher do the same thing I ACTUALLY DIEDDDDDD. Like I am NOTTTT paying for shit I can get for free 😂😂

Am I too old? I don't know who the try guys are.

Bye bye Try guys, I hope to hear about them in the future at some point.
