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

It's greed, simple as that.
Completely. They make very good money from what they do, which is harmlessly entertain people. It almost seems like the perfect point to remain at, good income, happy fans, no real enemies.

But nope, it just wasn't enough. Gotta get more money even at the expense of coming across like total dicks. Fuck reputation we need more money. That to me is a very good example of pure, selfish greed.

Deservedly their brand has been tarnished as a result. I hope they see sense and abandon this idea but the brand damage is permanent regardless of loss or gain of subs.
 
The criticism of this thing is fine but the whole having a site open of their subscriber count taking a dive is super lame.

The site you're talking about work for every channel ever on youtube, they measure in real time the up and down of every channel. It wasn't specifically created for the Fine Bros, please use your head and do some research before insulting other people, you sound just like two guys I know of...

Is that it? That's your problem? That's why "we" are losers, for looking at a subscriber count? Thought you had a legitimate counterpoint to all this criticism.

The site of which you speak of isn't a site just for the Fine Bros. It tracks revenue, views, subscriber count of every channel on youtube. Besides, what they did is super lame.
 
They're losing subscribers at a rate of 1,000 every 10 minutes. 10 hours from now they should be at 1,395,000

Its a good thing. I want their channel to lose as many subscribers as possible so that they're forced to reverse this. If anything, they're the losers trying to pull this shit and they deserve some sort of consequence.

The glee in which some are doing it is way I said that.

I know that.
So the next time you say 'you guys' we should understand that you're not talking to even a single member of NeoGAF, right?
Of course. I guess I didn't feel like I need to spell it out.
 
I really hope they blip right under their 14 million subscriber number. If not for their panic and continued apologetics, but to see that there was enough of an informed user base who told them to fuck off.

Unless telling people that is copyrighted. Maybe they should get on that. They'd be rich just on the backs of New Yorkers.
 
Oh god, that's great. Thanks.

Back on topic, I love how the Scam Brothers have just tried to get back to business as usual via posting a new reaction video. In the long run, the wheels are going to keep turning; those unsubscribing are just little spokes in the wheel with a channel as big as theirs. Unless something huge happens and more people unsubscribe en masse, they're probably just going to push on ahead.

That's my realist side talking.

My idealist side is watching the sub count drop while eating popcorn and wearing sunglasses.

Like calling people losers on the internet?

Just been thinking, you know the awards that youtube give out when you have reached a certain total of subscribers. Do they take them back if your number drops below the award threshold?
 
So do I! Like not having to spend time backpedaling!



His time is more productive telling people what to do with their time though.
I truly didn't think people would be this upset someone called them a loser on the internet.
Also, what backpedaling?

like coming in to a thread and calling people losers eh? i think the people watching the numbers decrease are spending their time better than you
Yeah guys, I got the irony. Never excused myself. Look at my username.
 
This is like watching the Shenmue 3 or Bloodstained kickstarters in reverse, somehow its engaging to see this go down every few seconds.
