Somebody call VH1: "The Fine Bros" are trying to trademark "reaction videos"

I'm highlighting the racism behind a lot of the criticism they're getting and quite clearly disagreeing with it. And now you're trying to accuse me of racism.
You have yet to clarify in where the racism is in these criticisms you're criticizing, unless you mean in general (which is bogus btw). You can most likely make a case from YT comments or from other forums but not here.
 
This represents what sickens me most about some members of the YouTube community.

You have this platform that allows you to make a living off of providing entertainment videos over the internet and when the opportunity arises and you've crossed the bridge you'll burn it.

It isn't enough to be the 10th biggest non-music YouTube channel. No, we have to make sure we kneecap any potential up-and-comers.

I'm glad the community is making their decision hurt.

Yeah, everyone wants to be NUMBER ONE AND BEYOND! They all want to be the next Hollywood. Calm down and enjoy your $30k a day! Enjoy it! I'd become a buddhist at that much revenue and just live in a remote island. All reaction videos will be made in that remote island, I'll invite all of you fucks to it! But noooo....
 
they are down to like 5 mill

when psychopebbies was shitting on these dudes, a lot of folks brushed it off. he was right
 
Did my duty too. Didn't really know I was subscribed but now I'm not. I did notice Boogie is still subscribed to them though. As is Jimmy Kimmel Live. Of the many people I'm subscribed to, those are the only ones still subscribed to them. I wonder if there were more before this happened. Because I literally never visit their channel and only have ever watched React videos via GAF threads.

They need to take a step back and look at their place in this world. I enjoyed their videos. I really did. But I like being able to enjoy other peoples reaction videos too.
 
They're so scared right now, they haven't even posted their regular content for the last couple of days.

They used to have a steady increase of 9-10k subs per day, now it's dropping and showing no sign of stopping.

Of course, they're scared shitless right now.

One video might kill their "business".

That must be losing them a shit ton of potential revenue. And every video update they post will tank the sub count even harder - they aren't relevant to the content people want to watch from them and people will unsubscribe. My friend noticed this even with a smaller music channel. Whenever he posted a vlog he'd lose a few subscribers, because they subscribed to watch his music/singing videos.
 
The worst part for them isn't the lose of the subs I think, but the poisoning of their brand. Practically overnight they torched all their good will. Other companies won't want to associate with that. Frankly, they deserve it. Even if their intentions aren't as bad as it seemed (even though we have evidence of them attacking other "react-style" videos in the past), they are clearly terrible businessmen.

Their failure will be a sign to others to not pull douche-moves like this. Or, at least do it in a manner that isn't so blatantly insulting.
 
I watched their "Update" video, and the tone is... it's like they're angry at the viewers for "getting it all wrong".
 
My only regret is that I wasn't subscribed to them in the first place to be able to unsubscribe.

It's like a disappointed parent talking to their kid.
